Does the Best Work Of ths
Season at Infantry Hall.

The Boston Symphony orchestra gave
It's fourth concert of the series last even
ing. I'm Infantry hail. and the large audi
ence there assembled listened to some OF
the very best work OF the season.
The program was beautifully grouped.
each separate selection being a fitting set
ting for its successor, and the players
that enthusiasm, and careful energy so
necessary 10 a good rendition The pro-
gram was as follows
Overture to"Fidelio, lin T. major, Op.72,
Ludwig van Beethoven; Air. Mon coceur
s'ouvre IA voix." from Samson ct Da-
lila" ssint-saens: waltz Ne Bal" from
the Fantastic symphony, No. /, Hector
Berlioz; Songs with pianoforte: ta), "Alte

sky, Cc). 1.-THE Young Num- Franz schu-
bert; symphony No. 5, in r. minor, on.
~. Piou nyitch Tschaikovsky. l. Andante

III. Andante cantabile. con aleuna, ncenza
I'd MAJOR; III. Valse: Allegro moderate
"a major: w. Finale: Andante maestoso
OE major) Allegro yivace &c minor.
The Beethoven overture is so well known
and the manner OF rendering by this or
chestra 80 perfect that no words are
needed To describe It's effect.
The charming waltz from the "Fantas-
tic" symphony of Berlioz was something
comparatively new 10 Providence. but IL
proved to be "A delight from the grace
and beauty OF it's construction. The pc
culiar division of the different beats is
very noticeable. being totally at variance
with the ordinary construction of a waltz.
Another decided innovation in symptom
&C. writing IN the negligence with which
Berlioz treats the bassoon. No part Is
scored for that instrument during the en-
tire movement.
The Tschaikovsky symphony is a great
illustration OF the capabilities OF this la
mented composer IL is unmistakably Sla-
vonic in chara cter, weird, wild and mourn
ful I'm the first movement, passing
through many phases. and ending with
strpng, forcible combination OF all de-
grees of tempt, from andante msestose 10
presto.
The beautiful counterfoil OF the strings
and wood wind was we'll brought out,
and at times IL seemed as IL each instru-
ment We'd with it's neighbor 10 produce
more perfect melody. Surely no one could
find just cause for complaint In the rem
dering OF this great work, az heard last
evening
The soloist Of the evening was Miss Ju-
liza Heinrich, and the name alone bespoke
"A treat in song. AS this was her first APP
pearance i'm Providence. one would scarce
~ expect TO hear such "a round of APP
plause as followed her solo the aria from
Samson and Dalila."
Her voice Is of peculiar quality,
blending OF contralto range and mezzo-
soprano. She In her style and ease OF
manner. much resembles her father, and
her voice is OF such simplicity and natur-
al smoothness that one is not surprised at
any succession or tones which may tall
upon the ear.
The songs with piano accompaniment
were much more suited to Miss Helm
richs style and quality OF tone, as the
iimbre Of her voice is not OF sufficient
quantity to invite a collection Of orches-
tral tones In its support All these songs
were delightfully."- sung and received due
appreciation. The piano accomplishments
were played by Mr.. Man Zach
The unanimous verdict last evening
was to the effect that the concert was the
best OF the season, so far.
