ed by the Elite of the City.

Cu DJ VIC Vi Oilt SlIY.
The initial concert of the Danz series
was given yesterday afternoon in the
presence of the largest audience seen at
the Harris theater this season. The
sale of seats during the week had been
so large that, at the opening of the
doors, very few places were to be OBJ
tanned, and many applicants for admis-
sion had to be turned away, there being
absolutely no more room. The stage
had been temporarily enlarged to accom-
modate the large number of musicians
participating, and the foreground was
taStefully decorated with flowers and
ferns. Prof. DAM was given a most
enthusiastic reception on his appear
ance, and each successive number on
the programme was accorded a most
ffattering reception. The opening
piece was the march Jubilee FesIivaln
(Wagner). by the full orchestra of forty
five players. The execution was per-
feet, and the enthusiasm evoked be-
trayed the pleasure the performance
had given. Selections from Wagner
and Mendelssohn followed, and
were equally well received. Miss Neatly
Stevens, in classical piano solos. played
magnificently difficult compositions of
Weber, BulOw, List and Moszkowski.
Her execution was perfect, and she re-
ceived an encore to which she re-
sponded. Miss Stevens was the recip-
lent from the front of the house of a
basket of exquisite cut flowers. Saint
Saens'. dance of the Skeletons" by
the orchestra, held the house breathless
with interest until it's conclusion,
and the beautiful "Dream of the
Alps" NObitskI was so continuously
In1 70 -
The concluding number was the over
ture ''Mignon," Thomas. The arrange
ments of the management for the relief
of its patrons from the annoyance
of persons entering and leaving the
house during the progress of number
are superior to any that have yet been
attempted in ST. Paul. The programme
displayed a request that none should
leave the house until an interlude oc-
CURED, and all announcement that none
would be admitted except under similar
restrictions. Prof. DAM was also pre-
sented with basket of flowers by his
admirers. Among the ladies and gen.
