A PoDuIar Concert.

There was as usual an immense amount OF
en- husiasm displayed at the concert OF the vi
emma Prater orchestra at metropolitan Temple
last evening.
There were ten numbers on the programme,
most Of which were good, although popular
music. IL is almost an injustice to say that the
orc hestra excels in operate music, for 1t excels
In everything which 1t undertakes, but GER
tainlv the operate selections last night were
magniticently interpreted. The overture TO
"Mignon" h ad been heard twice before. but it
lost nothin G of It's charm by repetition. The
overture TO "The Merry Wives of Windsor
was enthusiastically received. and beautiful
Fantasia" on GOunod's "FausP was most
brilliantly played.
Herr John Marquardrs marvellous agility in
bis violin solos, "Gypsy Dances" by Natchez,
fairly brought down the house, and Herr Frltz's
huegelbOrn solo, 1T Was Not Thus to Be-
was received with 'Dravosi" deep and heart
felt. Works by Waldteufel. Tschaikowsky,
Ghlet, Maszkowsky and LisZt were also IN
eluded in the brilliant programme.
The second grand sacred concert tomorrow
at IL A. NJ. In Metro politan Temple promises
to be an unusually interesting one.

A CHINESE SUITE.
"AIaddin" Heard at the
TiyOli Concert.
A Genie Who Did Not Fly - More
Vienna Prater Orchestra LaureIs.
A Popular Concert.

The chief event OF interest at the Bauer SYM
phony concert yesterday afternoon was the
first performance OF Aladdin" a Chinese
suite, by Edgar Stillman Kelley.
The California composer conducted his own
work. with spirit and ability and an excellent
reception was accorded TO his three numbers.
The suite opened with The Wedding Of
Aladdin and the Princess" In these days,
when composers are continually striving to en-
rich their music with new orchestral effects,
Mr.. Kelley is TO be congratulated upon having
introduced some very novel aud attractive
cooring both into this and the other TWO
numbers.
Ii was evident even from the first few bars,
that the music was extremely modern and ex-
tremely effective. The Chinese peculiarites
were rather on the surface and In appearance
than in reality. but they served TO give II color
and semblance at least OF distinctive Mon
golianism. The harmones were such as pre-
Vall among modern European and American
composers. They had absolutely no connec-
ton with Chinatown. The clasbing and bang
ing OF percussion instruments were never
allowed to become aggressive. and at times were
introduced very effectively TO accentuaIe the
somewhat weird rhythm.
A tomtom was the only Chinese instrument
In the orchestra; the xylophOne, cymbals aud
drums did the rest, while a mandolin and
harp almost beguled one into believing that
some Celestial strnged instruments were con-
cealed among those known to Wrsterners.
The melodies of the three numbers were
stronger 10 rhythm than In SUGGESTIONS OF In
tervas that cling TO the memory. Ii is safe TO
say that not more than one or Two, at most, OF
the audience could have hummed the tune of
the ~ eddng OF Aladdin" after hearing II,
although every one agreed that It was ex-
tremely rhythmic and pleasing music. "Tbe
Serenade" and the IF asst of the Lanterns"
were the other two numbers performed. They
were both full of int rest and color, the finale
of the latter In particular being very rich in
orchestral effect. "The Flight of the Genie"
not performed 10 consequence nf the short
ness of time which had prevented Its being SUI
ficieutly rebearsed. Mr.. Kelley pithty re-
marked, "Tne Gene will not fly to-day"
The rest of the concert consisted OF the over
ture TO THE Flying Dutchman." some OF Ed
gar Kelley's "Macbeth" music, three brief num-
bers by various composers and Haydn's
major symphony, which unfortunately was not
listened TO with the interest IL deserved, as IL
