MUSIC AND DRAMA.
St. Luke's Concert.

tlon among us as an able conductor and
pianist, and the performance last night
fully justified his reputation. An unique
feature of the entertainment was the
performance of the "Kindersymphonie"
by an orchestra of IA boys. The music
and instruments for this last were i'm
ported from Germany. Madrigals, glees,
vocal and piano solos furnished the re-
mainder of the programme, which was
heartily enjoyed by the large audience
present.
We understand that the performers
and Mr.. Carter have kindly consented to
repeat the concert at Lewis Hall, Wood
fords, next Tuesday evening for the ben
eft of Trinity chapel.

UIIie Akerstrom.
This evening Miss Ullie Akerstrom
will appear in her new play ''That Smith
Gal" The story in brief, is that of a
lively, attractive young country girl who
marries society man. and a man of the
town to boot, He is honestly and earn
estly in love with his country maid, but
after marriage the incongruities begin
to crop iup, chief among them that of
the country girl who will insist in flying
round the fields when she ought to be
entertaining the society friends in the
drawing room. Meantime there is in
troduced former sweetheart of the man
who has married the country girl and,
under the guise of friendship, she does
her best to create dissensions between
the young husband and wife, and she is
all the more eager in her purpose from
the fact that she has previ ously been en-
amored of the hero. And so the story
goes on. There is jealousy and heart
burning and all the rest of it, but in the
end everything turns out in happy
way.
Last night "The Busybody" presented
Miss Akerstrom at her best, and the
songs and dances by her and by Messrs.
Brennan and Mack excited many encores
as on the previous evening
The Heinrich Concert.
A fine concert will be given in Kotz-
seminar Hall, this evening by Mr. Will
helm Heinrich, tenor and Mr.. Howard
M. Ticknor, reader. Mr.. Heinrich will
present the 20 pathetic songs of Schubert
entitled s'The Fair Maid of the Mill.''
He comes well recommended, some of
leading papers speaking very highly of
him and his tenor solos.
The E1xs' Benefit.
The sale of seats for the Elks' benefit
will come off at Portland theatre, Friday
morning, next. The Wheeling Intelli-
gencer speaks in the highest terms of
'sHoss and Hoss,'' to be given on that
occasion. 1t says:
Many funny farce comedies have
been seen in Wheeling, BIT none
that compared with ''Hoss and Hoss,''
given at the Opera House last night.
Every line is a laugh, every act a series
of commissions. There are 20-odd peo-
pie in the company, and any one of them
would make one of the ordinary farce
comedies success. The singing has
seldom been equalled on a Wheeling
stage, while the dancing is just as good.
Yet, both the singing and the dancing
could be taken out and leave more en-
pertaining thing than had before been
seen here,
