AMUSEMENTS.

THE NEVADA CONCERT.-Mme. Ne
vada was in fine voice and spirits and was
enthusiastically applauded by the audience
which attended her concert given at the
Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon.
Owing to the death of Vice President Ho-
bart many society folks remained away
and for the same reason the President cam
celled Invitations for reception in her
honor at the White House.
Artisticaily, the concert was brilliant, and
at its close the audience applauded until
Nevada, after repea teddy bowling her ac-
Acknowledgements, sat down to the piano,
and playing her own accompaniment, sang
THE Mocking Bird as a final encore.
Nine Nevada's numbers were the Bell song
from "Lakme' and the Shadow song from
"Dinorah. both of which were specially
calculated to display the wonderful fiexibi-
ity of her voice and Its absolute trueness
to the key Not since Adalina Patti has
such exquisite Vocalization been heard as
was given by Nine. Nevada. She never had
a big voice. but it's purity Of tone and Its
carrying power were beyond question.
Those qualities 1t still retains, and to those
whose delight is in listening to brilliant
colorature work, her efforts yesterday were
eminently satisfying. The enthusiasm over
her singing was very great and she was re-
called again and again after each number.
Sig Achille Albert displayed a good bari
tone voice well cultivated, and his work
was well received. He first sang the pro-
logue to Il Pagliacci," and for an encore
gave the lorenzo song from Carmen"
His second selection was Massenet's
Romanza Re di Lahore" and in response
to the demand for more he sang "Di Pro-
venza, from "Traviata-" Miss clara Kali
esha, the contralto, was noticeable for dis
tinctness of enumeration, but sang without
animation. Mr. Orhm Bradley was the pi-
anist.

poiitan paper, speaking of his second APP

six years Rubinstein's D minor Concerto
has not been given here perfectly and so
Rubinsteinly, Notwithstanding Teresa Car
reno and Josef Hoffman,. With the force
and fire of a young heaven stormer he went
to his work, and however paSsionately he
| piled up his crescendos. he never lost con-
| troll. In the furious tempo in which he took
