The first of the series of popular con-
certs this season, under the able manage
ment and oversight of Miss Justine In

seat in the house was occupied, and many
were obliged to stand during the entire
concert. The stage was handsomely ar
ranged with reception room scene, which
was set off by palms, oriental rugs and
hangings tastefully arranged, the whole
being brilliantly illuminated by large
circular drop light. In the boxes were

the signal and the first event on the pro-
gram was given, march by the Second
Regiment band, which was well received
| by the audience. Miss Caroline Hirshman,
| q young pianist from New York, fifteen
years Of age, who is well known in New

denced by the applause of the large au-
dience at the close of the duet.
Miss Lizzie Gaffney, one of New Ravens
favorite singers, then appeared, and sang
1 wit a VIII emit

causing Miss Gaffney to respond to the
encore by rendering '.The Song That
Reached My Heart" During the applause

was the recipient of a large bunch of
white chrysanthemums. The violin solo

to an encore with another solo on the
