BOSTON SYMPHONY CONCERT.
 The third concert by the Boston Symphony orchestra attracted 8 large audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The pro- gramme was an unusually interesting one and all of the selections were greeted with prolonged applause. The first number was the overture to Bsrlioz's first opera, Ben vento Oellini." When 1t was first performed over fifty years ago it received "exaggerated applause" although the opera to which it furnished brilliant introduction failed to score d success. Those who heard it last evening can we'll understand why it's bril- liancy at once won favor with the Parisians. It was admirably rendered and was fitting prelude to the new concerto for the piano. forte by MT. Max Vogrich, which was the next and most interesting selection of the evening. This very recent composition is in the classical symphonic form with three moyements-allegro, intermezEo and allegro con fuoco. The allegro has 8 pronounced principal thematio motive, followed by a melodio second theme, both of which are de- veloped to @ climax. The intermezzo is @ pianoforte solo, accompanied by an organ tone sustained by .he celli and basses. In striking contrast the third movement is sparkling and brilliant, aptly styled by the composer . 'sscherzo fantastico." The pia- noforte score demands the most advanced modern technique. and this makes it most important addition to Miss Aus der Ohe's repertoire. It gave her opportunities to show her technique and her fearless certainty" and was played with dash and brilliancy excelling all her previous performances here. MT. Vogrich's composition entities him to 8 place in the front ranks of modern orchestral composers. His work was full of novel orches- tral effects and is sure to meet with very favorable reception ar Chickering Hall this evening. The suite iu D" by Dovorak was very charmingly played, and Lehumann's second symphony, which concluded the con- cert, received a very artistic interpretation. Mir. Gericke has one more chance this season to give our concert-goers an opportunity of hearing Beethoven symphony. It is to be hoped that he will select one for his last con- cert, which occurs on March IA.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Martin Hayden. 8 clever young actor, acted the part of the he- TO, and Eugenie Besserer as tho heroine The audience was enthusiastic. In museum hall is Layman, the man with 6 hundred faces.
 BRETON IN FORGIVEN.
 This evening this distinguished young ac- for will appear for the last time in New Ha- ven in his superb delineation of Jack Dia- mond. Forgiven" has more distinct merit than is perceptible in most plays of the same type. Its story is told with simplicity and directness, its scenes are carried on amid such picturesque surroundings as never fail to gratefully impress the eye, and bits of comedy of kind that invariably appeals to a popular assemblsge, alternate with pathos that stirs with unfailing swiftness, the emo- tions of the throng.
 THE LUDWIG CONCERT.
 MT. William Ludwig's concert of Irish na- tional music will be given as the New Haven Opera House to morrow evening. The New York World says: "The concert was good one. MT. Ludwig received 8 rousing well come when he first appeared upon the stage. He was in fine voice, and he sang no less than ten songs during the evening, besides taking part in the three qnartettes. He was recalled after every number. His company is good one."
 The most decided farce-oomedy success of the season is "Zig Zsg," which will be seen at the New Haven Opera House the last three nights of this week with matinee on Satur. day. It was first put on in New York two months ago, and had an astonishing run at the Star Theater, the house not being large enough to accommodate the people who came to see 1t.
