BosroN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Congrega-
tional Church was filed with q delighted
audience on the occasion of the third concert
OF the Boston symphony Orchestra. This
| orchestra has become 30 popular in this city
that its concerts are looked forward to with
| eager anticipation by lovers Of music. There
| is never any disappointment, for the work OF
the orchestra is always of the highest
character. That 1t preserve such uniform ex-
cellence is high tribute to the control of its
conductor. Mr.. Nikisch, who has perfected the
labor commenced by Henschel and advanced
by Gericke. Last night tho enjoyment
OF the audience at the perform
ance Of the orchestra WAS emphatically mani
Tested by applause The Berlioz March prob
ably commanded the closest attention because
1t was the least known, and the viola solo by
Mr.. Kneisel deserved the recognition it received
The Schumann number was the most satisfac-
tory, except to the extreme WaSnerites, be-
cause of the melody OF tho overture and the
vIvaeity Of the scEerzo and its treatment by
Mr.. Nikisch and his players was all that could
be desired. Mrs. Julia Wyman confirmed the
favorable impression as "a vocalist she made i'll
her first appearance here and was warmly re-
ceiycd. The interest of the evening, however,
conferred In the appearance Of Miss Leonora
Won Stosch, whose former friends were very
numerous iD the audience. Those who had
known her as girl, when she first
commenced to play the, violin under
Prof Josef Kaspar, who saw the ability OF his
her i'll the right direction. were there TO see if
she had fulfilled the hopes entertained for her
when she left Washington to complete her
studies in Germany. That she had developed
even beyond the expectation Of her friends was
manifest by her excellent performance OF
Saint-Saen's Rondo Caprlccioso, which afforded
an opportunity for the display of brilliant
technique Of intense feeling and of free, firm
movement She was fortunate i'll playing upon
an instrument Of wonderful purity of tone, the
famous SIMULTANEOUS, Of which 80 much has
been said. The qualification OF the audience at
ler performance was manifested i'll the most
pronounced manner and applause was
showered upon her at every oppor-
tunity. At the close of the piece the
demand for encore was SO emphatic that
it could not be resisted and she played the pre-
Jude to a Zach sonata exquisitely. Miss Won
Stosch has bright future before her, but a
firm position in the front line of violinists can
only be maintained by constant study and
practice. Youth, a keen musical intelligence,
ambition and perseverance are qualities that
she possesses aud that should give her the
highest rank among American female violin
lists. Her course will be eagerly watched in this
her native city.

CALVARY PARISH HALI.-The organ and harp
recital, to be given at Calvary Parish Hall on

lied, as the object for which it is given is an
extremely worthy one. Mr.. George w. Nor
gan, the Organist, Miss Maud Morgan, harpist,
and Miss Amy Hare, pianist will be among the
participants IL the program. 1t was expected
that Miss Mimic Evan would sing, but her en-
gagements in New York are such that she will

however, be vocal numbers by several amateurs
and the entertainment will be thoroughly en-
joyable. Tickets may be obtained at Metze-
rotrs, Brentano's, DrOop's and Knabes.
