A BENEFIT CONCERT.
Preparations for the Musical Fes-
tiyaI

tlVdI.
An interesting programme was performed
at the grand benefit performance tsndered
to Fritz Scheeps orchestra in Metropolitan
Temple yesterday evening, most of the
numbers having been very little performed
by that band in San Francisco.
Beethoven's Symphony No. z was de-
lightfully played in all its movements
The overture to mariana" belongs to
that popular class of music that always
hits the public taste. and even people of
the advanced school found that the artistic
manner in which Wallace's music was
played last night gave a fresh charm to the
familiar airs.
Miss Breitschuck's harp solo. Ober-
thuer's "Au Rievs de la Mer." was inter-
preted with exquisite taste and delicacy,
the phrasing leaving nothing to be desired.
Herr Scheel had very wisely, cons slderlng
the length Of the programme. resisted an
encore to 'Maritana," but the audience
equaliZed matters by demanding double
portion Of encores from Miss Breitsehmck.
The effective little composition. Won-
netraum," was very dain tly played by the
strings. Herr Franz He'll. whose exquisite
timbre is only equaled by th g finished ex-
preston he lures from his fluegelhorn,
performed three of his favorlte selections,
creating frantic applause. Inc Muiier-
Rerghaus orchestration OF Chopin
Polunaise, brilliantly played by the band,
concluded the programme.
This evening at 8 o'clock the first con-
cert of the mucical festival will be given
in Metropolitan Temple. For the last
week the Scheel orchestra has done little
else than rehearse new music. with the
result, as will be seen from the accompany
ing programmes of each of the five con-
certs, that scarcely one of the numbers
has been given by the banG before. and
also that the music is largely composed Of
novelties to San Francisco:
