company, is an artist. His touch is ideal

plays with feeling; he gives his auditor
interest in his work, and with ease
awakens that sympathetic feeling which |
only the sincere artist can. The pro-
gramme consisted of eight numbers, but
the three persons being recalled aud
Remenyi as often as three times to one
