ADJUSTMENTS.

The first Musin concert takes place this
evening at the Metropolitan Theater. The
promised character of the entertain
ment has been fully set forth in these col
umns. The troupe consists of Ovid Musin,
the eminent Belgian violinist Anne Louise
Tanner, prima donna soprano; Whitney
Woodbridge, lyric teLor, and Edwin n.
Shonert, pianist. There is every reason to
believe that the concert of this evening
will be one of exceptional brilliancy and
high musical excellence. The confidence
of the manager in the musical taste of
troupe to address it, has led him to an
nounce two concerts in succession--an uE-
usual thing-and that j1stifies the expecta-
ton raised by the announcements. The
first of the series of concerts by the troupe
in San Francisco only one of which has
yet been given, is pronounced by last even
ing's Post as delightful throughout" Of
Musin it says: His first was Men
delssohn's concerto in Z minor which he
played in mastery manner, giving to the
difficult composition exquisite expression
and beauty of tone, rendered with perfect
technique"
ing thus enthusiastically introduces crit
w,
and it is sufficient to indicate:
Musin concert draws the whole musical
world, and is certain to pack the Baldwin from
pit to dome. So it was last night. 1t was inter-
esfing to note the keen, sensitive faces TO OBJ
serve in what curious bodies the soul of music
sometimes makes its abode. and to remark how
unayaillng the most prosaic pursuit proves to
quench the love for sweet sounds which nature
has implanted in certain happy natures. All
through the programme an audience that was
not only appreciative, but at all times forcibly
enthusiastic, listened to the excellent music
discussed by NJ Musin and his company, and
Tor once the ladies' forgot to critcise each others
spring hats and the gentlemen forbore to go out
between the numbers TO 'see man." All know
the skill with which Musin makes his violin a
part OF himself and pours forth his sweet song and
plant through the medium of its strings. When
he plays, it is the voice of an exquisitely sensi-
tive nature which speaks to the audience in
tones Of infinite tenderness and pathos. No
piano, however deity played, can ever convey
heart as the bow of Musin does. He lifts his
nearer out of the everyday world and transports
him into world of fancy, IN which reason is
silent and logic dumb, and over which feeling
alone holds sway.
The George oodthorpe Company
played 1.-THE Two Orphans at the Opera
House last night to a house crowded by
liberality of the management. The cast
the drama here a few weeks ago, except
that Henriette was personated-and very
creditably-by Miss May Nanary. The
comment then made applies now. To-
night IN liss," with Miss Woodthorpe in
the title role, in which she has had much
success Mr.. Philleo a competent actor, as
Yuba Bill, F. A. Cooper as Judge Nc
Snagsby, part he has the capacity to fill.
The great six-day go-as-you-please race
will commence at the old Pavilion, corner
of Sixth and NJ streets, tonight, and will
no doubtpr interesting to Sacramentans,
as they have had nothing of the kind for
many years. The starters have all been
mentioned already, except Peter Mcintyre,
OF San Francisco, who arrived last night
He has the best two-mile record in the
United States, the best four-mile record of
the Pacific coast and the best record on
this coast for various short distances. Man.
ager Frank Hall has put in electric lights
and made the Pavilion quite attractive.
There will be splendid accommodations
for ladies and no charge for their admis-
sion. The track is twelve laps to the mile,
and the same score system will be used as
in the great races in New York 1t is safe
to predict that there will be some good run
ming tonight between 7:15 and Ills.
1t is generally expressed wish that Ed
ward Sothern, the creator of Dundreary,
will play an engagement in Sacramento
after his season this month at the Baldwin,
San Francisco.
