THE GoUNoD CONCERT.

Inc FESTIVAL was brought to a close
with superb rendition Of Bruch's Car
minus by the Gounod society of this
city under the direction of Emilio Agra
monte. Space forbids more than a brief
mention of this performance, which was
the browning event Of the festival. The
Gounod society has never sung better,
and has never been heard to better adj
vantage. There We're nearly three hun
dred voices in the chorus last night. and
the volume of tone in the climaxes was
thrilling and impressive. The chorus
knows the work perfectly and the per-
Torrance was without a single hesita-
ton or weak attack from beginning to
end. Mr.. Agramonte was perfectly GER
tain Of his forces and he conducted with
great freedom, inspiring the singers to
splendid dramatic achievements. The
society has never showed so much re-
gard for nuance and the gradations
from the clear pianissimos to tremend
Gus, sonorous climaxes We're most artis-
tic and admirable. The Gounod society
has never had a better orchestra than
the one last night, which was made up
partly of men from the New Haven
Symphony orchestra and partly of men
from New York. The soloists were Who'll
ly satisfactory in their parts. Miss Stein
is an old favorite, Mr.. Van York made
favorable impression last year, and
Mr. Martin is promising singer with
voice of beautiful quality and artistic
perceptions.

titled as to the worthy and reliable

AL ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

n
AT II o'clock came the concert by the
Park church quartette of Hartford, as
sisted by Miss Sarah Hamilton, pianist;
Miss Emma Spieske, violinist, and Miss
Bertha Spieske, accompanied. The Park
church quartette is famous throughout
the state, and it's annual contributions
to the festival are always of interest.
The ouartette consists at present Of
Mrs. II, A. Smith, Mrs. Reynolds, Mr..
Maercklein and MI. Darlington, and Is,
of course, directed by John s. Camp,
one Of the best known musicians in the
state. Mr.. harrington did not sing this
year, but sent r.. L. Couch, jr., as sub
stitute, so that he was hardly missed.
The uuartette sang beautifully yester
day and their selections were, most OF
them, unfamiliar and Of particular mer-
it. First came group Of three quar-
tettes by Pinsuti, Edward German and
Robert Franz, all three Spring" songs,
Later came difficult and intricate
piece of four-part writing, "Rhapso-
dy' by Rheinberger. Finally came ITO
the Sunshine by Bohme. Each MEM
Der of the quartette did solo work. Mrs.
Smith sang two of Saint Saens' songs,
which lost much of their effect by being
sung in English. Mrs. Smith sang them
with her customary intelligence, and
they are difficult and ungrateful things
except In the hands Of a finished artist.
Mrs. Reynolds sang "Non torno," by
Mattel, in French. She has superb
voice and she controls 1t with
great skill. Mr.. Maercklein sang "Ona-
,Uav Awake the tenor aria from Cole

vibrant in the upper register, and this
