ANIUSEMENTS.

Inc SOtrO SlSterS.-f1dO tHS Weather uOch
propitious there would doubtless have been
large audience to hear the piano recital
given by the Sutro sisters at Metzerotts
last evening, but as it was quite number
of vacant seats confronted the performers
when they made their appearance. AL
though the audience was small it was
very appreciative. and greeted each num-
ber with hearty applause. There were four
instrumental numbers rendered; the "Son-
ata," in D major, by Mozart; the impromp-
tn on theme from Schumann's Man
fred" by Carl Reinecke; the "Rondo." by
Chopin, and the Les Preludes." by L1szt'
all of them written for two pianos. Each
one of these was well rendered, both IN
regard to execution, finish and expression
and in Cnopin'S composition, by their mas
terly manual dexterity and force, the young
ladies completely captivated the audience
An encore was demanded and responded to
by Heller's lively "Tarantelle," which was
also finely performed. Misses Rose and
Ottilie Sutro deserve much praise for their
work in the ensemble effects and for the
study which they have evidently given
every detail, no matter how minute. They
