THE BOSTON QUARTET.
Another Success Scored by the Knei-
 sel Com bination.

The second concert given by the Kneisel quartet from the Boston symphony or chestra at Sherman. Clay & Co.'S Hall last evening only served to deepen the favorable impression made on Monday. The audience was larger, and, if any thing, more appreciative, and six and seven recalls after many of the move ments were frequent.
 The quartet in D major by A. Bawdine was novelty, and the dainty Scherzo, the dreamy Notturno and wonderful An dante -Vivace carried the house by storm. In striking contrast was Schubert's pos thumous quartet, Death and the Maid en- which received a delicacy of treat ment rendered more exquisite by the power and strength which lay beneath it.. Schumanns quartet in A major op. fl, No. 8, was the final and most popular number, and at the conclusion of the 'Assai agi- tato" the artists had to bow again and again. In all three works the players again showed a unanimity of feeling and perfection of ensemble which can only be gained by adequate preparation and long association. The audience, as usual, was late, but Kneisel and his associates dis played a commendable patience by wait ing until every one was seated.
 After the concert the Bostonians were rendered reception and banquet by the Orpheus Club at it's rooms on O'Farrell street. The last concert in this city will be given Saturday afternoon at Sherman, Clay 6 Go. s Hall.

IN AID OF ST. PATRICKS. Successful Entertainment Given in
 Odd Fellows Hall.

There was a most successful entertain ment given in Odd Fellows Hall last evening for the benefit of the bazaar to be held by St. Patrick's parish. Music vocal and instrumental, made up most of the programme, and encores were as nu- merous as the numbers rendered. The programme was not a long one, and the reason was plain when at its close it was announced that the floor would be cleared for dancing. The audience was just well enough divided to make danc- ing a most acceptable diversion, and 1t was well along toward lateness when the last couple left the floor. Those in charge of the entertainment were: Miss Mary E. Flaherty, who afterward acted as floor manager; Mrs. R. Reid, Miss Mary Bar rett. Miss Mary Leonard, Miss Margaret Sullivan and Miss Kittie ONeil.
