I hen came the principal number Of the

Rebarer's direction by a quartette com
posed of Mrs. W. w. Gross. soprano; Miss

with few remarks relative to the work,

and begging Indulgence for any impeTfec-

II. But the imperfections, If any, were not
remarked by the auditors, and the even
ing was decidedly the most successful that
Mr. Rebarer has yet given.
The soprano solo work Is considered by
many to be the most difficult In the COM
position, but Mrs. Gross clear, brilliant
voice showed to excellent advantage, par
ticularly In the high notes, and does credit
10 her intelligence and conscientious study.
Miss O'Byrne the contralto, was in par
ticularly fine voice, and sang her solos IN
a most effective manner. Miss O'Byrne has
a voice which is singulariy sweet and clear
of tone.
MIR. Rebarer acquitted himself in most
artistic manner. There were two very diff
ficuit tenor solos, which required a mas
terly Interpretation, and which were re-
ceived with evident satisfaction by the
audience.
The basso Mr.. Sundhelmer. distinguish
ed himself by the feeling and dramatic
manner in which he rendered his several
solos. Mr.. Sundheimer has improved great
ly during the past year and his singing
was a surprise and qualification to his
friends.

is hoped that In Persian Garden" may
