THE NUsIN CONCERT.

Tie Second of the Young Mems he
Drew association Series Last Night.
The second Of the series of concerts under
the auspices Of the Young Mems Hebrew
Association was given at Masonic hall last
night by the Ov.de Musin Concert Com
pany The audience was both fashionable
and critical ose.
Ausin was heard in Savannah In two
concerts last season. The company this
year is the same as that of last wear with the
exception Of Miss Inez Par mater and Kari
Storr. the latter Of whom. young German
baritone who has not yet mastered the
agisn Language. sings IN place Of Signor
Bologna
Mss Parmater is mszzo-soprano.
with voice Of wonderful clearness.
she was suffering from severe cold
last night, still she sang with excellent eff
fect. Miss Annie Louise Tanner has a phe-
nonenal voice Of great sweetness and mar
vicious range. Her singing, as in former
concerts in which she he's been heard in
Savannah, completely carried the audience.
mr.. Eduard Scharf's piano playing, next
TO that of Mr. Sherw wood, who was here last
week, was the most brilliant recently heard
in Savannah. Mr.. Scharf is an artist. He
has complete mastery Of the piano, and
ms playing was received with great en-
thusiasm.
MusIn's violin playing was, Of course.
the feature Of the concert. Musin Is
violinist Of international reputation,
and be more than sustained what
has frequently been said Of him heretofore
by his renditions last night. He has
played IN public since his 18th year, and has
Travelled from Tobolk, in Siberia, TO San
Francisco. The routine Of his productions
was something remarkable. and every piece
drew forth rounds Of applause.
His playing Of popular music adds to the
| interest in his concerts. He was on the
programme for two solo selections last
night, but instead Of two he played, in
response to repeated calls, six.
The concert throughout was from every
standpoint success. An ANNOYANCE Which
is frequently experienced in Masonic hall
during concerts was experienced last night.
The Masonic lodge room ia above the con-
| cert hall, and the noisy antics of the breth-
rem interfered with the rendering OF some Of
the best selections

AFTER BASE BALL AGAIN.

Charleston Kesps Up the Talk of a
New Southern League.
Charleston is anxious for another season
of base ball. The base ball enthusiast of
the Netos and Courier says: "Since national
base ball matters have been settled aud a
new agreement has been reached by all the
leagues and national board appointed,
there is some interest among local base ball
enthusiasts to know what is to be done in
the south for the game
Quite number OF admirers OF the ball
tossers have expressed desire to have a
season Of good base ball. They think that
with about six olu from Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina the league
could bs made to pay and offer good sum
mer amusement They are inclined to the
opinion. that it will not be necessary to have
teams composed entirely of professionals.
but that law may be made and enforced
allowing 50 many professional players to
each city.
SHOULD any Of the other cities in the
Eastera circuit make the advance it is
pretty certain that Charleston can be
counted upon to be represented. 1t is quite
probable that number of the league play
era of last season will be dispensed with
under the new national arrangement, and
will be glad TO receive engagements with
southern clubs.n
