The piano recital at the Elmwood
Hotel on last Thursday evening, by the
eminent American pianist Mr.. Edwin M.
Shonert, waS largely attended by our
most cultured citizens. Prof. Shonert is
the finest performer we ever heard, and it
is just simply wonderful with what pre-
cision, accuracy and skill that he exe>
cutes some of the most difficult scientific
pieces of music. He would simply make
Rubenstein ashamed of himself. The au>
dience was delighted and charmed. Mr..
J. B. Smith, Marie.ta's fine basso singer.
favored the audience with several choice
selections. He was at his best and &C.
quilted himself creditably. 1t was

indisposed to sing, as she is NEST charm.
