John Mccormack, the great Irish
tenor, who will sing here next Tues
day evening at Palace ballroom, full
filled every expectation by achieving
sensation during his recent season
in Sydney. Every concert was crowded
to the doors-an extraordinary hap
pening in a city where entertainments
mad been suffering a general depreS-
sion on account of the occurrence of
smallpox. But smallpox could not
affect the concerts of the famous
freshman, and it is estimated that
nearly ten thousand people were I'M

Hall, where he was appearing.
The enthusiasm for the artist, OF
course, was tremendous and he sang
divinely, though few people guessed
that he was far from well. AS a mat
ter of fact, recent vaccination, un-
detaken on his voyage to Australia,
had affected him materially, and he
had to lie in a private hospital, right
up to the day of his first appearance
Doctors and intimate friends advised
the tenor to postpone his engagement
but he would not hear of any pro-
posal to disappolnt the public. Ac-
cordingly, he sang, as he had agreed,
and had the satisfaction of achieving
one of his greatest triumphs.
The Orpheus Club will give the Sec
ond private concert OF its twenty-fifth
season in Wallace Hall, Thursday
evening, April 90 A most enjoyable
program has been arranged, the first
part of which will consist of several
exceptionally fine new numbers, one
of them being THE Liberty Bell"
by William G. Hammond, a descrip-
ton of the signing of the Declaration
of Independence, now given for the
first time. The second part of the
program has been dedicated to old
favoriteS.
gagged as contralto soloist. Miss Jor-
dan needs no introduction to the
Newark public. She is a distinguish
ed member of the Century Opera
Company and the Orpheus Club has
been particularly fortunate in secur-
ing her assistance. Arthur Mees,
whose ability Is acknowledged abroad
as we'll as in this country, will con-
duct.
Organized in 1888, with total mem
bership OF sixteen, the primary OBJ
ject of the club was to afford enter
tainment of a uniformly high stand
ard, to encourage the best quality
of choral music and, at the same
time, TO give men with good voices
an opportunity to cultivate, under
competent guidance, the art of sing
| ing. How we'll it has succeeded in
achieving it's purpose is shown by
the fact that now, at the completion
of it's twenty-fifth season, seventy
! four active and a hundred and forty
associate members are enrolled in the
club, and the semi-annual concerts
are eagerly looked forward to by
