seen at table, whose ease and grace OF

ADJUSTMENTS

GEoRGErowN ORcHEsTRA.-The Georgetown
Amateur Orchestra last night at the Music
Hall showed the great improvement it had
made since last season, and proved itself an
organization of which Washington may wei! LIE
proud. The program embraced compositions
by Goode, Beethoven. Grieg, Dvorak and
Strauss, q range sufficiently wide to satisfy all
grades OF musical taste. and each number
was performed with an intelligence and pre-
cision of execution that testified in the
most pronounced manner to the careful
rehearsal by the conductor Mr.. Josef Kaspar
who has every reason to be gratltied with the
work of the band. The soloists introduced
were Miss Alice c. Spier, pianist, and Miss
Mary Howe, soprano. The former in her in
in the Beethoven concerts proved herself fin
ished performer, and although Miss Howe was
suffering From o cold she sang the bird song
from Dayid's LA Perle du Bresil" in a
manner which delighted the large
audience present. The liquid purity
of her voice and its marvellous f1eIibility were
never exhibited TO better advantage. In the
songs by Cowen the singers cold was moro ap-
parent. The entire concert or rehearsal. as it
was called, was the best which the orchestra
has ever given and the marked commentator
of the audience should encourage them even
TO higher aims in the future.
The grand concert for the benefit Of the old
Smithfeld Church, near Old Point, takes place
tonight at National Rifles Hall.
Miss Marie Tempest, who appears at AL

Juch English Opera Company at the National

performance was fairly satisfactory.
