MUSIC AND DRAMA
THE ADAMowsKI QUARTET.

ID IA L
Last evening the celebrated gAdamowski
Quartet gave a concert at Kotzsohmar
hall under the auspices of the Rossini
Club. The Quartet has given number
of concerts in Portland on previous occa-
sions. AS is we'll known, they are men,
beers of the Boston Symphony Orchestra
and artists OF rare skill. The brothers
Adamowski, Timothee, on the violin,
and Joseph, on the cello, cannot be sur
passed as virtuoso players by any music
ians in this country and by few, if any,
on the other side of the water. Then, to
make up the Quartet, we have Arnold
Moldauer and Maxzach, both of the high
est repute
There is little to be said about their in
depreciation of their numbers. Their IN
telligent reading of their music, their
beautiful shading, their daintineis, and
their breadth of vigor when required. is
known to all. Their audience was tho
roughly musical and the quiet OF the
drawing room prevailed only to be brok-
en- by enthusiastic applause. Inc Dvorah
and Beethoven quartets held the listener
enuranced, the Grieg intermezzo was de-
lightful, th5 solos by both the brothers
Adamowski will be treasured in the
memory forever. Such wonderful tones
are evoked by Joseph from his cello that
it seemed as if choir of delicious mixed
voices were singing. For an encore he
gave a dainty serenade. MIR. Timothee-
Adamowski played the Beethoven TO-
nance with great feeling, but the Baz-
zini selection aroused storm of applause.
Such fire, such brilliancy, such remark
able technique, has not been heard In
violin playing in this city for years, not
even from Mr.. Adamowski himself. Of
course he was enoored and gave song
full of passionate expression. This was
the evenings programme:

MILES STOCK CO.
An exchange speaking of the company
W sich will be seen at Portland Theatre
all next week, says:
"a fine company is the verdict of all
who have seen the Miles Ideal Stock
Company now performing at the Opera
House. They had two good audiences
Tuesday, when unknown or Saved from
the Sc. was presented. The perform
ances were thoroughly satisfactory and
delighted all present. MIR. John e. Miles
enhanced his reputation: The scenic
effects were excellent. This afternoon
The Blacksmith Daughter was pre-
s,nted to the satisfaction of a large audi
ence. The play for tonight is New Next
CO, or THE Boy Hero. This is a road
production and is sure to draw large
audience
THE SAGES.
The Sages continue their pleasing hyp-
motto exhibitions at The Jefferson to good
audiences. There is always a fair number
of subjects whose action under the mes
meric influence is very amusing. The
combination, composed of MIR. and Mrs.
Sage aud their assistants,..is very strong,
and one of the advantages of their exhi-
b ton is that it is refined in charaoter.and
draws upon many of the best known
people in every city for its support. 1t
must be borne in mind that at every per-
formance new features are introduced SO
that one can be entertained with novelties
every evening.
THE GAIETY.
If you haven't seen the Brannigans in
their great dance at the Gaiety this
week you should do SO at once. They are
immense. Then there Is Miss Hopes and
Mrs. Hea]y's fine singing, and number
of other attractions.
