 The above programme was given at the second concert of the Gounod society before . large and apprsciative audience at the Hyperion thsater last evening. The rather cool reception the society met with at its first concert was replaced last evening by real enthusiasm. The apathy at the Dscem- bsr concert was chiefly due to a lack of ap- preoiation on the part of the audience, and the applause last evening was on account of the lighter character of the music sung. The second concert was the more successful, but the first was the more meritorious. The first six numbers were creditably given and we'll received, the most noticeable feature being the excellent singing by the basses in Men- delssohn's "JudRe Me Not, O God" Then Herr Perotti sang Abt's Good Night," using the German words, and was greeted by such prolonged and genuine applause that he was obliged to respond to tho encore.
 Herr Perotti's singing seemed to start the enthusiasm and after the ladies of the society had rendered Rubenstein's bird song they too were given an encore. It was the first the society had received this season. The basses and tenors looked rather solemn. The former had certainly deserved recognition for their part In the Mendelssohn selection. At the signal from Signor Agramonte they took their places behind their victorious compan- ions and with "we'll-conquer- or-die" coun- tenances joined their voices in Caldicott's ssilors' Rlee. It was admirably rendered and the prayers that were said beneath it's roar brought to tho basses their deserved encore. It b in the lighter competitions that the vocal strength of the chorus Is most percep- tibls, e 1t is in the more classical selections that the individual singers receive the most bene0t. The succsse of the evening was Herr Perot- ti's unparalleled singing of ths prize song from "Dis Nsistsrsinger." He was greeted by storm of applause, and the tho selec- ton from the Italian school which he gave a an encore received no less applause. It was without any doubt the most magnificent singing ever heard in the Hyperion theater, not excepting, even, that of Herr Kalisch last season. He needs no praise, for his fame is already won, but his reception last evening must have been aa gratifying to him as 1t was creditabls to the audience.
 The Gounod society has now become per- manent organization. It is of untold benefit to its members, credit to the city, and it is to bs hoped that this seasons success ha4 in measure repaid the energy and unsslHsh devotion of its fpundsss and chief promo M .svs
