String Orchestra, under the conduct of Mr..
Ernest Lent will be one of unusual inter-
est because it will present as the soloists
Rivarde. the violinist, who has made a re-
markabie success in New York, and, in
fact In every city in which he has ap-
peared, and Anne Lachaume, pianist, who
has been frequently heard in this city, and
always with pleasure. Rivarde is said to
possess remarkable technique, and to play
with bfilliancy and feeling. BY some crit
les he is considered the most remarkable
performer that has been heard in this coun-
try In many years. The numbers by the
| orchestra will show their constant i'm
proyement under Mr.. Lent's intelligent di-
rection, and In some the strings will be
assisted by horns and flutes.
