Miss BrunsOns concert, on Monday
night was perfect gem OF beauty
from the first musical note on through
out to the grand finale. Meyer has
our city had the opportunity OF hear
ing anything richer or more chaste in the
musical line than the program present,
! ed Monday night the rendition OF which
was simply perfect. Miss Brunson, the orig
inator OF the concert, appeared first, and
WIS greeted with hearty applause by the Sc
iect and critical audience. Her rendition Of
"Belraggio" was not only charming and de-
lightiul but most surprising. Well a. our
people know Miss Brunson, and highly as
they rate her musical power, they were
altogether unprepared for the volume of
song that issued from her throat. In re-
spouse 10 repeated encores, she favored the
audience with "rhe Last Rose of Sum
mer," which was even sweeter than the first
selection Miss Brunson was followed bv
Mr.. Slazich, in a well rendered selection
from Ernani.
The piano duo, by Mrs. Julienne and
Miss Johnston was skillfully executed,
and excited even more admiration than
these gifted sisters usually do, and that is
saying much. Following this came Miss
Moore 1t seems almost sacrilege Tor any
pen the most facie to touch upon a gift so
divine a. Miss Moore possesses in her per-
feet will Her queenly presence is enough
in itself to cause deep admiration, and
when to this is added such music as must
almost charm the angels, one can but
pause in awe and wonder that Heaven
has so richly lowered even one OF its
fairest creations. She sang, during
the evening, Yes, | feel it," and
TO Sevilla" with encores 'Supposing, jand
"Home Sweet Home" The first was IRE
sistably charming, and the pathos in Home,
Sweet Home went to every heart as only
Miss Moore music can. After Miss Moore
Miss Bridewell appeared and sang
20 prites de baal" from lie Prophet
Miss Bridewell Is the pupil Of Mrs. James
Mott of New Orleans, and the possessor of
rich contralto voice, which filled her
hearers with delight. 1t is exquisitely
tender aud flexible, and fulfilled the high
est expectations that had been built by her
admirers here. She was repeatedly encored
and among other selections sang Jamie,
Dear" in an extremely taking manner.
Mr.. Bleese's piano solo was executed
with master hand, and preceded the en-
trance of our own little song bird, Miss
Morancy Always greeted with applause
as she is, the enthusiasm on this occasion
seemed almost boundless, and after her
seng from "Ernani," abe was encored to
the very echo, and gracefully gave The
Broken Pitcher" then a selection from the
Mikado. Later she sang, O Loving Heart
with marvellous ease and beauty. jackson
has always been proud of this gifted sing
er's voice, and Monday evening added
many laurels to the heavy wreaths already
binding her fair young brow.
During the evening the inimitable Mr..
Luther Manship gave the audience rare
elocutionary treat, and then some of his
deliciously funny character songs, which
always delight the people.
The entertainment closed with a scene
from Martha, which was gorgeous in APP
pearance and magnifcently rendered-solo-
lists Misses Brunson, observation-disclosures,
Misses Manship, Spengier, Mary Wolfe,
Sallie Wolfe, Lula Muller, Josie Muller,

be remembered by all who were so fortu-
nate as to enjoy it.
