ADJUSTMENTS.

The Russian Orchestra--A really good
band Of musicians played attractive
program, and played it excellently, too, at
the Lafayette Square Opera House last
night to an audience that was not large in
numbers, but which was decidedly enthu-
siastic and insisted upon encorng nearly
every number The regular program in
cluded the overture to William Tell" that
was interpreted in a splendid manner;
Gungrs 'Imnortellen;' GEnka's Russian
Dance" two descriptive pieces, "Colum-
bia," by Herman, and a Spanish military
fantasia, arranged by Ivan Schotoff. the
leader of the orchestra; Cz:bulka'S Dream
After the Ball." "On Broadway" and
waltz, Dear Golden Days" by Edgar Stra-
kosch. That which caught the fancy of the
audience most was the familiar air of Gil
buIka, which was eXQutSitely played and
which was obliged to be twice repeated.
All the work, however, was in good form,
and was pleasant surprise to those who
attended the concert without any great ex-
pectations. The orchestra would win on
second visit If the heat was not too great.
