The Philadelphia orchestra.

The first concert OF the series announced
by the Philadelphia Orchestra took place
at the Columbia Theater yesterday. after
noon. This organization ds one OF the best
In the country. and its work generally was
delight to those who heard 1t. 1t has
grown in numbers and of course improved
in it's playing since 1t was first heard in
this city, and under the capable leadership
of Fritz Scheel it can now compare favor
ably with the great orchestras of the coun-
try Mr.. Scheel as conductor has force,
fire and intelligence, and gets a quick re-
Spouse from his men. This was especially
noticeable in the Tschaikowsky symphony
No. 4, which has already been played here
once this season by the Boston organiza-
tion but it is such a delightful composition,
both in melody and orchestration, that 1t
cannot be too frequently heard.
The other numbers were Vorspiel from
Wagner's ''Lohengrin," and Brahms
Festival Overture, in both of which the
orchestras refinement and solidity of tone
were remarkable.
The soloist was CampanaTi, who gave
monologue from Giordanos Andrea
Chenier," and an aria from Mozart's Mar
rage of Figaro" He sang both with that
wealth of tone and intelligence of express
sion for which he is SO we'll known.
