ADJUSTMENTS.
Aliens Grand Opera House.-Miss Minnie
Tracey scored another triumph as santuzza
In Mascagli's "Cavalleria Rusticana" and
as Media in Leoncavallos IT Pagliacci,"
which were given by the Hinrichs Grand
Opera Company last night in excellent style.
In santuzza Miss Tracey's splendid vocal
and dramatic equipment enabled her to give
an Interpretation Of that intensely emo
tiona1 character that has rarely been wit
messed here. She was equally successful in
Media, and sang with true artistic effect.
Miss Alice Judson was the Lola in Mascag-
mis- opera, and brought to the part
natural coQuetry and grace, while her voice
showed to excellent advantage in the one
solo that Is SO melodious and pleasing. De
Backer was the Alto and Tonic, and his
full, rich baritone gave excellent expression
to the spirited music. Pirola, new tenor to
this city. sang Turridu and Canio. and
displayed voice Of much sweetness in the
upper register. though not possessing great
power. Perry Averill made handsome
Silvio, and sang effectively, particularly in
the duet with Media. The chorus was eff
clent In both operas. and the orchestra was
all that could be desired, so far as it's work
was concerned. The opera tonight will be
Mignon,' and the cast will include Natal,
Katherine Fleming.Alic Judson, Michelena,
Lorrain, Storey and Laparetti.
New National Theater.-Mr. and Mrs.
Taber were seen last night at the New
National Theater in Sheridan Knowles
"Hunchback,' which was splendidly placed
upon the stage. The character of Julia is a
favor1te one with all actresses Of Mrs.
Tabers school, and is one in which she Is
remarkably successful-much more so than
was Mr.. Taber as Master Walter. The
whole play, however, is stilted in it's dia-
logue and weak in action, and is only kept
alive by the splendid drawing of the leading
female character. There is one bright scene
Tor the subordinates-that between Helen
and Modus, which was really well done
last night.
Western Presbyterian Church.-A concert
was given at the Western Presbyterian
Church last evening for the purpose Of rails
ing funds to pay off some of the church in
debtedness. TIE edifice was crowded, and
there is every expectation that good part
OF the sum desired will be raised The prin-
c1pal soloist Of the evening was Miss Field
ing G.. Roselle, oratorio contraHo, of New
York, while number of loch musicians
filled out program that was Of more than
ordinary merit. Miss Roselle sang num-
Der OF selections. the chief of which was
Goring- Thomas My Heart is Weary
which was heard here for the first time,
her voice sounding clear and sweet, and full
of sympathy and expression. Her first solo
was emphatically encored, as were also her
Scotch and Irish melodies. Miss Mary Hell
en- Howe at the last moment took the place
OF Mrs. H. Clay Browning, who was absent
on account Of the illness of her brother.
Miss Howe sang Pizzis Ave Maria" and
the Rolero from 'Sicilian Vespers," re-
spending to a hearty encore with Bischoff's
Surprising" Her work was received with
genuine praise. Miss Anita Cluss gave Sc
lections on the harp in her own artistic
fashion, and the Temple Male Quartet rem
dered number of pieces in good STYLE

gave selections which were highly appre-
GATED. The accompanies were Mr.. Frank
Gebest and Mr. Armistead.

Hall John L. Stoddard will give for the first
time his new lecture on THE Glories of
India" 1t will also be given tomorrow and
Saturday evenings. He has a tremendous
subject. yet he speaks from the memory Of
personal and extensive travel there, and his
accounts of the people and history of Eng
lands greater empire cannot fail to be alb
sorbingly interesting. He can also promise
magnificent Illustrations.
The Fabian-Pigott RecitaL-S NJ Fabian
and r. 8. Pigott gave piano and song re-
cital at the Universalist Church last even
ing, that attracted many music lovers to
the pretty little edifice. The recital was
given under the auspices of Mr.. E. H.
Droop, and the program rendered could
hardly have been better selected. The
songs which Mr.. Pigott rendered were SEN
timental. but Of high quality. and the man
ner in which he gave them established his
popularity at the start. Mr.. Fabian's work
surprised even his most intimate friends,
and his position as pianist of great merit
seems assured. The numbers rendered by
him were Of the highest order of excel
lence. Mr.. Pigott possesses rich. full,
capable Of splendid expression when 1
Look in Thine Eyes" by Schumann, was
especially well rendered, while his other
numbers sustained the first impression
