The Philharmonic Club Concert.--The
Philharmonic Club gave its third concert
Of the season at Metzerott Hall last night.
The first two numbers by the club, the
prelude to Gabrielle" and the "Rakoczy
March," were rather coldly received, al
though the latter, arranged by Mr.. Lent,
was played with decided spirit and good
effect. Miss Lucia Nola sang the invoca-
ton to Vesta from "Polyeucte," but her
work in this number was hardly what was
expected. Mr.. Victor Herbert played a
concerto for the cello with fine effect, and
was forced to answer an encore, giving
Mazourka by Pepper. The next number on
the program was Liszts Second Hungarian
Rhapscdie for piano. Mrs. Ernest Lent
played, and did 1t admirably. She dis
played unusual power, and her execution
was facile, graceful and intelligent. The
recitative and cavatine from Beatrice al
Tenda." was given with brilliant effect by
Miss Mary Helen Howe. 1t was a very
heavy piece of work, but 1t was done with
an ease and finish which indicated the in
telligent and faithful industry which the
singer had put into her studies. Her voice
Is true, and sustains with facility and ac-
curacy. Mr.. Herman Rakemann's solo
number was the Fantasia Appassionata"
by Vincenzo Vieuxtemps He played this
with great abandon and zeal, and his
finish and dexterity sustained his we'll
earned reputation as violinist Mr. Her
bert then produced a group of songs, a
romance from Ernest Lent, little waltz
OF his own, and a sherzo from Won Goen5
and in these he confirmed the excellent i'm
preston he made in his first number, and
justly proved his title as the first 'celloist Of
this country. Miss Lucia Nola next sang
"A Summer Night" with cello obligato
In this Miss Nola showed to much better
advantage than in her first selection, and
sang very pleasingly. A serenade by Mr.
Herbert and Seguidilla by Mr.. Lent, played
by the club closed the evening, and one OF
| the best programs that the club has pre-
sented. Mr.. Lent, in addition to playing
with the club. acted as piano accompanist
| to all the soloists except Miss Howe, for
whom Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard Of
