ADJUSTMENTS.

The Orpheus clubs second season of
subscription concerts opened at the Con-
gregational church last evening and de-
spite the bitterly cold wind that howled a
warning to every one to stay in doors,
nearly all the seats were occupied. The
audience was a. handsome and represent
ative one and 'lnough at first inclined to
be rather frosty it thawed out under the
warming influences of the rare entertain
ment afforded and grew heartily enthu-
SlaStic before the close 1t would have
been strange, indeed, If it had not. The
entertainment was far and away the
choicest the OrpheuS has yet provided,
and the musical fraternity here owes the
club a vote of thanks for making so de-
hghtful an evening a possibility. Both
the stars of the evening made unmistak-
able hits, and it seems a pity that gentle
men of such attachments should come all
the way from Chicago for only one
night appearance. If they could be
heard again before they leave, it is al
most a certainty that they would draw a
larger audience. The hit of the night
was the number in which Mr. Williams,
the cello SOloiSt, Mr.. Hall, the tenor and
Mr.. Mcclellan, a very prince of accom-
paniSts, rendered as a trio the divine
serenade by Schubert; it was an arrange
ment of the beautiful selection seldom if
ever heard here, the tenor having the
solo, the piano accompanying, and the
cello rendering an obligato 1t was ex-
quiSitely DONE and it had to be repeated
Williams is the best cello player heard
here for years, since young Van Praag,
in fact, and his work throughout stamped
him as an artist. Mr.. Hall is that very
rare thing in singers, tuneful, tender,
feeling tenor, with a style as charming
as his voice; he did half a dozen num-
berS and it is difficult to say In which he
appeared to best advantage, in the Ital-
ian and German songs, or the English
love ballads. He was certainly admirable
! in all. The Orpheus itself never appeared
heAttpr
numbers. one of Dudley Bucks clear ar
engagements, with robin Adair'' as the
theme, and in the very telling Bedouin
! love song, with which the concert closed,
some excellent effects were produced, and
the applause accorded both was of the
heartiest For almost the first time in
he history of the club, the tenors held
their own with the bassos. Mr.. McC1el-
Ian presided at the piano, and his work
was of the highest class.
Mr.. Peabody. the interchangeable con-
ductor. announced during the evening
that the second concert would be given
Feb. A. when Miss Bloodgood would ap-
pear with the club.
The patrons of the Orpheus club con-
certs, whose generous subscription of $25
each have enabled the club to give the
public such a high order of entertain
ing gentlemen: Richard Macintosh NJ.

The Theatre opens tonight with Evans
| & Hoey's noted 'ParIor Match as the at
| traction. The printing indicates one of
the liveliest sort of shows that travels.
and the speciality work is said to be the
very latest
Last evening at the close of the choir
practice at the tabernacle little Paloma
entertained most charmingly the singers
of the evening by playing several selec-
inr1c fnT how on, 1in xxrlnf oh Drnf
Daynes had thoughtfully had placed on
the leaders stand for the occasion.
| After several numbers by Paloma she
was joined by her little sister Karla, and
together they played two duets first a
| selection from Trovatore and afterwards
! Paloma's own composition. Farewell to
! the Old Adobe written by the older sis
! ter the very day they left their southern
| California home for the present concert
! trip. The applause of the choir at the
| close of each number showed how fully
| the little ones playing was enjoyed and
| when Prof. DayneS announced that Presi-
! dent Snow had consented to the taber-
nacle being opened for Paloma's concert
next Monday evening" the sound of hands
/ showed the pleasure of the choir at the
announcement. 1t was announced that
| the programme for Monday evening won d
/ differ entirely from the numbers rendered
at her initial concert last Monday, and
was further stated that at the close of the
programme next Monday night Paloma
would improvise upon the great organ.
| This announcement pleased the choir
greatly and many asked What organ?''
! not believing it possible that Paloma
| could handle the great instrument of the
| tabernacle.
On Monday evening next the patrons of
| the Grand will have an opportunity to
| witness play which comes with the
+ highest recommendations of the press
! and the best proof of excellence several
/ years of continued success. The play is a
dramatization of THE Vendetta under
the name of .'Fabio Romani," and is
/ everywhere spoken of as the intensely
/ interesting and startling production. The
scenery is said to be especially magnifi-
cent, and the stage effects new and beau

of the respective characters. Miss Grace
