n Wilbur onera COMPANY.

balfa's Bohemian Girl Is an opera
that, notwithstanding the hundreds of
times 1T has been sung in Portland,
seems to draw delighted audiences as
ever. Ii was given by the Wilbur Opera
company. yesterday both at Jnatines and
evening performances. Miss Hattie
Richardson sang very sweetly the music
of Arnliene. Miss Lille Tayloc was the
Gypsy Queen, MIR. j. E. Conley the Thad-
deus, Mr.. e. A. Clark the Count Arnem,
Emmett Drew Florestein, W. II. Kohnle
the Devilshoof and Maud Daniel, the
Captain of the guards. The chorus was
good and the audience applauded hearth

bers.
Today will be the last opportunity to
see the company before they leave Tor

Harvey Murray at Lewiston.
Mr.. Harvey Murray's organ recital at
Lewiston this week ia highly praised by
the Lewiston Journal as follows: Mr..
Murray. played the Offortoire in A with.
such vigorous and musicianly interpre-
tation, that the difficulties Of his sur
roundings were for the time almost en-
tirely overcome. This composition by the
great Batiste may be considered as one OF
the open sesames to organ virtuouslty,
and that Mr.. Murray should play it in
the very opening of the concert was
performance as daring as it was success
full This excellent rendition of Mr.
Murray was exoelled in q thoughtful
reading of the last movement of the
Gullnant sonatet and was the greatest
technical achievement of the evening:
TOR the mastery organist-composer did
not stop to think Of registration. stops
and all that when he wrote difficulties
for the organ; but wrote them down and
then simply played them. The excellent,
discrimination of the audience was
shown by applauding this selection most
secularly, but Mr.. Murray with his
characteristic modesty. that doesn't by
any means always go with virtuosity, de-
olined an encore, as he did also to the ex-
cerpt from Lenore Symphony. The audi
ence seemed to like this last number best
of all of the organ selections of the eve-
ming, responding cordially to the noble
cantabile that MIR. Murray so we'll
brought out upon the instrument. A
strictly orchestral composition, Mr.. Muir
~ handled the difficulties of the registra-
ton with much skill in view of the fact
that he is not thoroughly acquainted
with the Pine street organ. We have
heard Mr.. Murray play the "Marche
Triomphale'' before and somewhat better;
yet this final selection of Mr.. Murray
and of the programme left fine i'm
preston of his playing as one of the
Maine organists of the first rank.
