Delightful Performance by
the Pupils at the'Taber-

A RIVAL TO JOSEPH HOFFMAN.

The general tone of the musicale by the
pupils of the Husbrouck School of Music
given last evening in the Tabernacle was
far in advance of what we are led to ex-
be t from n programme carried OUT
mainly by students, and differed in sew
eral respects from the typical pupils

structors for artistic ratber than m chan

duos, a march from Berlioz's "Damna-

Ho the selection would lie among
Miss FRANCES M. Slater, Miss Gertrude

performance of Meudele5ohn's "Capric-
clio Brilliant" Opus %. without notes. Miss
Slater played a Hummel concerto with
orchestral accompaniment gu a second
piano, by Mr.. Gustav l.. Becker. Her
t chnique has reached a high state of de-
veiopment. and only her position at the
end of a long prog ranime prevented the
audience from extending the full APP
probation size deee we'd. Miss Gertrude
NJ. Farmer is we'll known as a pianist
of remarkable ability, and her per
fnrn,unra of tIin tiAmUunella' (LlSZIl

The work Of the vi Inns was exception

scarcely visible over an ordinary
music-rack, played "Alla zigaresca"

young artist can be described as little
less than marvellous. His interpreta-
ton is profound, his phiaiing excellent.
and already he possessed malv OF Inc
distinctive maDnerisms OF a practlsed
%soloist. Miss ], sic Fenner gave Meyer
Heulmnd's ''Gondolier's Love Song" for
which will be heard from again. Miss
Fenner also sang with Miss Ida LIE mbeck
in Bordese's duo, 1.-The Gypsies.'
THE TEACHERS TAKE A HAND.
While it is scarcely fir to the pupils to
criticize the work of their Instructors by
the same standard, an account of the
musicale would be incomplete without
mention of Mr.. Cases tenor solo, the
Romance from Mignon. Mr.. Case is
known more as violipist than vocalist.
but his claims to the latter honor were
more than sustained by his work last
evening. Messrs. Becker and Baier closed
the programme with u fantastic de con-
cert from midsummer Nights Dream"
introducing the nocturne and famous
wedding March. AS usual. the extreme
length of the programme detratted from
the enjoyment OF the latter numbers. and
fully half the audience left before the
conclusion of the musicale.
