Remainder Of tho Company.

Without doubt the most excellent,
delightful and thoroughly artistic con-
certs Of solo numbers ever given In
this city was that Of the Jackson
Sammis Company at the Odeon We'd
nesday evening, as the second OF the
seasons Y. NJ. G. A. entertainments.
The company. which Miss Leonora
Jackson, violinist. heads, Is composed
of Miss Sibyl Sammis, soprano; Mr..
Charles Z. Clarke, baritone, and Mr..
Alexander MacFayden, pianist and
accompanist.
While each member Of this company
is star, Miss jackson easily stands
first. Her equal as violinist has
probably never been heard in local
concert. She appeared in three num-
bers, and as many more encores. and
each time 0ehEhted the audience,
wnlch almost t1lled the trst floor ana
balcony OF the tneater. 1t would be
hard to select the number in whicn
she appeared the best, as each was
par-excellence In itseli, and at the
close OF each she was accorded gem
erous applause. Probably the mos.
brilliant, from the standpoint Of a
technical performance, was the
"Caprlccio" by Niels Gade, her OPEN
ing number. For pure, sweet music
nom the violin, for delicate shading
and delightful tone pictures, Miss
jackson is master. When compaf-
ed with her performance given IN the
Presbyterian church few years age,
