 AT O'CLOCK.
 l The last of the miscellaneous con-
 certs was given by the quartet of the
 Park church, Hartford, celebrated as
 one of the finest choirs in the state.
 It is splendidly directed by John s. Camp and their work on this occasion
 was very meritorious and does great
 credit to MT. Camps ability They
 sang the quartets by Parker, Widor and
 Gernsheim with great taste and ex-
 pression and proved their mettle in the
 great quartet from "Rigoletto.' They
 were brave to attempt this while the
 remembrance of it at the opera is still
 fresh in everyone's mind. There it was
 marvellously sung by Melba, Scalchi,
 Maurel and Russitano, but these Hart ford people gave a very creditable rem
 dition. The members were also heard
 in solos, those by Mrs. Smith and Miss
 Cary being best received. MT. Maerck- lein is q young man, but shows promis- ling signs. MT. Harrington sang TostFs | beautiful setting of DeMusset's ''Ninon" with good effect, but could have iTn- proved upon it by adhering to pretty rythmical effects in the tempo pas
 sages, Mrs Smith and Miss Cary sang very charmingly in the Rubenstein | duets
 THE ELIJAH.
 The great event of the entire festi- val was the performance of the "Eli- l jah" The house was literally packed
 from top to bottom. The work of the chorus and orchestra under MT. Frank Damrosch was very creditable indeed. The orchestra was excellent, much bet ter than those provided by the Guonod society have sometimes been. The
 reason is quite apparent. MT. Dam | rosch picks out his own men, whereas
 the Gounod society has to take what is sent them. The chorus did very
 good work. The tempt were excellent and considering how few rehearsals
 MT. Danrosch has had and how poorly
 they have been attended, he did won-
 ders. Of the soloists, of course, MT. Bushnell stands alone. He is one of the great singers of the country and his "Elijah" is the best thing he has
 
 dramatic and never spared his beautiful voice when he had an effect to make, Mrs. Nora Russell ~Haesche sings better each year and last night her work com pared well with MT. Bushnell's. Her solos were dramatic and telling and her voice was clear ard sweet in the quartet work. Mrs, Warwick of Hart ford is a very capable contralto and has manner and good style. Benja- min F. Miller was the tenor. He is a young man and has a ringing tenor voice. He is inclined to force it and his phrasing is rather unsatisfactory These faults will probably disappear with time. There were little slips in every part but the performance as a whole was smooth and made a brilliant close to a most successful festival.
