from the prellminaries which had been
arranged. great things were expected
Hut they were disappointed, for when
they entered the hall they found only
fifty persons present.

and Rubini sang to perfection. Liszt
guve another piece and then addressed
the audience.

he had been in the role Of pacifcator.
Addressing his audience Of fifty, he
said: Ladies and gentlemen"-there
was only one lady PRESENT. think
that you have had enough music. Al
low me to ask you to take little sup

invitation was accepted. and Liszt and
Rubini entertained the audience to
supper at their hotel. which cost them
200 francs.

concert as advertised on the following
night. To their astonishment the hall
was packed. There was not standing
