 Theo. Hoch, violin; Richard Stoelzar viola. and Mario Blodeck, cello. Among the soloists are Theodore Hoch, who is a wonderful cornet player. He alse performs upon the Roman triumpha trumpet. This instrument has a won | derful range. from that of the scftest cornet up to a powerful clarion blast
 MT. Hoch is exceedingly clever witt | this strange instrument, playing the ] Emperor's salute, a sort os round ol bugle calls with strong obligato. The | chromatic harp is another curious in
 strument, and differs much from thf ordinary harp as it is devoid of pedals It will be played by Mime. LaRcche | | is the possessor of a rich contralt(
 voice. There was a large sale of seat: yesterday, and everything points to z very successful concert. Seats car be obtained at the box office
