as accomplished It IS energetic, there would Ia
capital diversion at that place during the summer
months and the entertainments would doubtless win
high degree OF popularity. An astonishing list Of

brought forward the latest addition being Ceue..

new principal, Miss Neumann. last Monday evening
Miss Neumann IS a comely woman, with fair amount
of SKILL but the performances Of her companions an
exceedingly crude.

The Balmoral Choir Of Glasgow, which In The
English announcements has simply had the honor
OF appearing before Her Majesty the Queen and Court
beside the usual number OF crowned and corOneed
heads but in an American announcement has been
metamorphosed into Queen Vctona's Private Choir,'
will visit America in the coming fall. The choir has
been highly spoken OF abroad. The manager Of the
American tour (who seems 20 be the man who has
given .he Queen proprietary rights In the organization,

The special features with which Mr.. seidl varies
the daily programme of music at Brighton Beach
have mora than ordinary interest. They have
educational value that ought not to be overlooked
by those who seeking TO derive something moro
than agreeable diversion from the advantages offered
by the generosity and enterprise Of the Brighton
Beach Company. On last Saturday the afternoon
concert was given up TO the works OF Italian COM
pcsers and that of the evening TO representative
men OF France. 1t is not easy 10 arrange concert
Of instrumental music written by Italians without
resorting to arrangements from operas, conhn.
Ing ones self to overtures. Mr. Seidl adopted the
former plan, though he found two delightful bits IN
a Revery by Bottesini and the exqus-
ito minuet by Boccherlni with which
Mr. Thomas used to entrance the patrons Of HIS popu
lar concerts. Unfortunately Mr.. sedl marred tho
composition by an unaccountably rapid tempo 10

ductor as Mr. sedl should be frightened into hide
