MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Y. NJ. G. A. CONCERT.

4. NJ. =. "A. CONCERT.
The entainment given in the Young Mems
Christian Association course at City Hall
last evening, was most enjoyable to all low
srs Of the banjo, guitar and mandolin, for, in
the Boston Ideal Banjo, Guitar and Mando-
lin Club, those instruments were heard at
their best. The happiest combination was,
naturally, the mandolin and guitar, for these
instruments harmonic most perfectly. The
Spanish dance, with the castanet accompani-
ment. was especially well given. But we
may say of the numbers played by the Club
that they displayed volume and richness of
tone, brightness and animation, and del
icacy of coloring such as entitle them to par
ticular distinction. Mr.. Grover showed him
self master of the banjo, and Messrs. Lam
sing and Harris were excellent in their duet.
II the audience could have had its way it
would have trebled the encores of every
number-as it was they secured many addi-
tions.
Miss Alice c. Moses, who gave recitations
on the occasion, is a Portland girl and a
graduate of the High School Her several
selections enabled her to show the audience
that she is the possessor of a pleasant
voice OF considerable power and flexibility,
and that she has profted by her instruc-
tions. She rected to great disadvantage
owing to the small audience and CONSEQUENT
echo, and therefore she Is entitled to all the
more credit for the result Her most taking
selection was the one entitled mice at
Play"
THE sFowAwAY.
Tom Crayen's powerful melo-drama "The
Stowaway," will be made known to the
Portland public for the first time at the
Portland Theatre this evening. For a pc

England, and it is still drawing large houses
there, proof sufficient that it has both pro-
nounced merit and intense interest. "The
Stowaway" production has been gotten up
very deliberately and the scenery, painted by
Maeder and Schaefer, of Niblo's Garden,
New York, is said to be remarkably beauti-
full and realistic. One of the scenes is a
London street by moonlight, in which a
number of striking novelties in the way of
effects are revealed. A fuli-rigged yacht at
sea is shown in another set, the gradual fad
ing away of the land being exhibited by a
moving panorama In its wake. A third
scere illustrates the exterior of a handsome
English villa surrounded by vines and flow
ers.
