Entertainments.

The third concert by the Boston Sym phony orchestra attracted large audience last evening. The orchestral selections were Weber's ''Oberon" overture, the adagio and scherzo movements of Cowen's Scandinavian Symphony" Saint-Saens' ''Danse Macabre' and the most familiar portions of Mendelsshon's ''Midsummer- Nights Dream" music. The soloist of the evening was Mrs. Arthur Nikisch, who songs - Schubert's "Fruehlingsglaube," Goldmask's 'sDie Quelle" and Meyer-Hel- mund's "Taegliche Frage."

There was the chorus of storm-spirits which made shipwreck of the 1over's bark in "Oberon," the ideal music of the mountains and fiords of Scan dinavia, the s'grim Death in cadence" of Saint-Saens, and last, but more familiar than all, the music which Mendelssohn has made forever inseparable from Shakes peare's fairy drama.

Mrs. Nikisch proved a most acceptable so1oist She has a rich mezzo- soprano voice of unusual range and pleas ing tone. The aria was admirably sung and vociferously applauded, but it was her rendition of the songs which pleased her auditors most and which won for her | a quadruple encore.
