The CONCERT,

House, Last Night.
Between eleven and twelve hundred
people crowded the Grand Opera House,
last evening, to listen to the concert given
by the p. S. Gilmore band. So great was
the demand for seats, that tickets changed
hands early in the evening hours at $3.50
and 81 each. Aside from one or two num-
bers, the programme was essentially
popular" in its nature, and was heartily
enjoyed by the large assemblage.
The first impression Of the band was not
favorable. In the overture to "Freischutz,"
there was much carelessness, the band not
responding promptly to the baton Of
of the conductor, bat in subsequent num-
beIs this fault was not so noticeable. The
"Prayel" and Finale from "Lohengrin"
was perhaps the most satisfactory of the
plumbers for the full band, the instrument
tatiou throughout being very good. A
f~Avorite number, also, was Kunkel's
alpine Storm, "snd the popular selection,
"Rose, Shamrock and Thistle"
Madame Stone Barton c;elted a most
favorable impression, and was enthusiss-
o2lly recalled after the brilliant and diff
cult Proch variations. Her command Of
her really fine voice is something wonder
fdl, tbs greatest difficulties in vocalizstion
being passed over with case. Her upper
notes are especially fine. Miss Campbell,
who did not appear az a & loist, was also
we'll received, and there were many ex-
p7essions of regret that she WIS not as
signed a number outside the quartette
Signor Baldanzs, the tenor, has a fairly
good voice, but a bad stage presence.
The "Anvil Chorus" with the artillery
accessories, operated from the stage by
electricity, made an acceptable finale, and
was produced with good effsck
