audience must have been full Of Jacob
les for the enthusiasm that went up
was greater than before, and for a third
call Mr.. Easton gave one verse OF
"Annle Laurie" which again almost
took the audience off its feet. He was
in excellent trim, though pale with
nervousness, as he might we'll have
been and his voice, full, sweet and
yeYetty was at its best, though severe
~ taxed by the "Rlgoletto" and
"Fausp requirements. Parts Of the

among his best achievements Of the
night
People who expected 90 hear some
thing unusual--they hardly knew what
from the organ, probably were lit
tie disappointed. The truth is that the
instrument is not yet anywhere near
completion, and last night Mr.. McClel-
lans work upon It was almost excu-'
siyely OF one kind, that of showing ito
q volume and Its heavier qualities. The
delicate tone effects, the variety
" OF stops, which have always
formed one Of the chief charms Of the
noble old instrument, were not heard
because they are not yet in place. The
shlei innovation consisted in seeing the

B he could clearly see the beat Of his ba-
ton and hear TO the full, the sounds he
q himself produces In these respects il

change to Mr. Mcclellan his
@one solo, and his work In

ethe organ, and the ponderous tone eff.
Ffects produced, quite different in their
equality from anything the old instru-
Sment had locked up in it before, gave
