ADJUSTMENTS.

Miss Emma Lucy Gates was rendered
a rare tribute at the Tabernacle last
evening. In spite Of the mud and rain,
and In spite OF the fact that many in
the audience had already heard her, the
attendance at her concert last night
was nearly fifty per cent larger than
on the first occasion when she appeared.
1t was a rarely beautiful turnout and
must have numbered from 1900 to 1000
people. The enthusiasm and delight
which marked the first concert were
more than ever apparent last evening.
IL anything, Miss Gates did even better
work than before, though her singing
Is always so admirable and brilliant
that II is hard to draw any COMPARE
son. She repeated the favorite num-
beers or the first concert, and the APP
pause and shouts rose to thrilling
height after her two main achieve
ments, which we still think are Sing,
Sweet Bird and the difficult aria from
"The Barber of Seville" In addition
she gave Il Dreamt Dwelt I'm Marble
Halls" and "You and l." in beautiful
style.
A special feature and one that greatly
affected the young singer was her NOV
ing rendition Of the famous hymn of
the Latter-day Saints, 20 We Noun
tains High" noted as the favorite song
Of her grandfather, President Brigham
Young. She evidently sang 1t with all
the fervor of her soul and as she stood
on the platform surrounded by the 500
singers Of the great choir who Joined
In the chorus, those who knew her best
realized that she had found the fulfill
ment OF many a dream In which she
had INDUCED while engaged In her
studies In far off Berlin. She was called
back again and again, but only re-
turned to make q graceful bow. on one
OF these occasions, she brought with
her the violinist OF the evening, Miss
Dales, and both were vociferously APP
plauded
Miss Dales, indeed, shared the warm
favor bestowed upon the young sopra-
no. She Is violinist Of rare attain
ments, and plays with a feeling and
depth rarely witnessed even in the most
accomplished male performers. She
gave several numbers last night and
was warmly applauded after each.
The choir was again In excellent trim
and did some fine work, while Prof. Me-
Clellan both at the organ and piano,

moved with precision and the closing
number was over by ten O'Clock; there

At the Theatre there was also O sur
prisingly good turnout In view Of the
unpropitit.ous weather and the heavy
opposition at the Tabernacle. The boys
of Company III made their first APP

presented as the curtain arose and dis
