The Schubert Quartette Concert.

The Schubert Quartette Concert.
We are sorry We haven't space in which
to make such = notice as the character Of
this entertainment deserves. These ladies
aided by any special blast of newspaper
trunpets, and justly earned by the merit
of their performance, tho genuine COM
pllments Of a discriminating audience.
While no very great number OF Elk
tonians are cultivated musicians, yet
they are generally sufficiently educated
musically,to discriminate Intelligent, be
tween good and Indifferent performances,
and We merely voice the popular seuti
nent when we say that the programme
OF Tuesday evening Was ono of the best
ever rendered in the town. Elkton like
all other county seats which enjoy easy
communication with tho cities, has it's
captious critics, and those who profess
the ownership of nice discriminating
tastes. We believe that even these con
cede the programme of Tuesday
was most excelently rendered. That
Mrs. Wevill has a cultivated and sympA-
thetlc soprano voice, and that her accent
il clear and distinct. That Mrs. Blsbee's
contralto tones are full! and rich. That
Mr.. Ford is an excellent basso, and that
Mr.. Brown to reach his habitual register
as a tenor, neither strains his diaphragm
nor makes ugly faces at his audience. So
many city tenors writhe aud squirm be-
fore country audiences to issue couuter-
felt notes, that we welcome Mr. Brown
as the dispenser Of the genuine article.
We have heard Philadelphia amateur
tenors sing In Odd Fellows's Hall, to
whom it was positively painful to listen.
the agonized expressions OF their faces
suggesting inter nal and eternal fortunes.
All these facts the encores OF Tuesday
emphasize. Miss Imogeno Chandler did
what she came to Elkton to do. She
pleased her audience by graceful and
well studied diaec and descriptive reci-
tations. She didn't attempt the intensely
dramatic and iave Der alo en,e laugh
at her for her pains. but with easy and
natural manner rendered such recitationa
as she was fully capable Of rendering,
showing a we'll trained voice, and reciting
with cultivated expression. She sue
coeded admirably, aud We hope to vel
come her again before an Elkton audi.
ence. Last though not least We award
the just need of praise to Miss Annie
Florence Schmidt for the excellence Of
her Instrumental performance. Her
plump, fat little fist, don't suggest the
anatomy of the masters hand At tho
piano, but while she utillzts the pedal,
she also exhibits siren 9TH of wrist, and
good, bold, masculine toucl of the keys
BON r0yage' we say to the Schubert
Quartette and company, and safe r
turn to Elkton.
