Two performances at the opera and two concerts
of first class Importance summed up yesterdays
offerings to the music lovers of New-YOrk- OF new
features there were not many. The nature of the
philharmonic concert given at Carnegie Hail. in the
evening sufficiently set forth in the review Of

one-third two of compositions by himself.
The latter consisted of his charming Suite Moderne

published, and BaIade, Romance and Rhap-

work is not likely long to seek publisher, for it
