The Mozart Last Night.

The evening was oppressiyely hot, and
vet notwithstanding the Mozart was filled
with critical audience, who seemed thor
oughly pleased with the musicale. Mr.. and
Mrs. ". II. Mcdonald, OF the Boston Ideal
Opera Company, were the greatest attrac-
tions. They are well and iavorabIy known
here, Mrs. Mcdonald as the charming and
graceful soprano, Marie Stone. Their
yocalization last evening was simply beauti-
fu IN duet and solo. They were encOredupOn
each appearance. Mrs. Mcdonald rendered
the brilliant poionaise from Mignon Z"
with grace and forcible expression that
We have never heard surpassed, even by
the famed Kellogg. Responding to an en-
thusiastic encore, she sang with wonderful
pathOS and expression "Old Folks al
Home" To a double encore she generously
gave with d rare depth OF feeling the last
verse Of thus old and popular song. Mr..

turn TO Richmond.

difficult composition with beautiful expires.

Proposed Report Of the Committee on

ence to the City Hall. &c., &c.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Board Of Aldermen was called for yester-
day at 7 O'Clock p. NJ. There were pre-
sent Messrs. Bass dn the chair, Adams,
Barksdale, Cabell, Crenshaw, Dickerson,
Rose, and Taylor.
No quorum being present, Mr.. Crenshaw
moved that the Board adjourn until Mon
day next at 6t O'Clock p. NJ, which was
agreed TO.
The following report was ready to be
submitted bad there been quorum:
To the President and Members Of the Cous.
Gil Of Richmond, Va:
The Committee on Grounds and Build
ings ask leave to report that on the 1sf Of
NAV last, upon the reception OF the COM
plete plans and specifications from Messrs.
Wait Il Cutter Of the proposed new City
Hall, they had also submitted through them
a bond-Jid> bid for the erection OF the build-
ing for 100000. Your committee at once
advertised for competitive bids, 70 be pre-
sented June 10th. The usual means OF adj
yertising were made Use Of la order TO se'
cure bids. On the 10th instant the COM
mittee met. Only one bid was received.
and that, being informal could, not be con-
sidered.
We ere assured that the lack OF bids
was caused by the unsettled condition OF
the labor question and the material markets
in the country, and further by the fact that
the position assumed by parties in the city
against putting the work ont by contract
impressed many with the belief that II was
useless 10 make estimates.
We are also assured bv the architect
whose interest IN the progress OF the work
has caused him TO look well into the mat
ter-that it will be impossible under the
present state Of affairs for the city TO make
any advantageous arrangements for the
erection Of the building, and that it would
be to the best interests OF the CITY to lay
the Whole matter over for period OF twelve
months; hence we deem il iuexpedienI
under the present circumstances TO ask ior
further bids. We therefore respectfully re-
fer the matter to the Council for your con-
sideration.
In behalf Of the committee,
