suite in minor, for flute and strings,
for which the sOloist was George Bsrrere.
The orchestra played the Handel number
with spirit and fine tone, but in the ac-
compartment to Mr.. Barrere there was
at times tone that was not overclear.
The orchestra more successful in
the following number. theme and
variation from Haydns symphony. La
Refine" playing il admirably. Then fol-
lowed the minuet from Mozarts Third
