It was attended bya large and appreciaiis audience. A great number of seats were reserved, but were so crowded that many who held reserved tickets had to content themselves with a position on back eeats. Che Concert may, therefore, at the outset be voted a financial success. The Hall was cold, unclean, and un- isavory. A visitor to cologne ouce said he had little ditticuity in distinguishing thirteen different smells in any part of that city; but if he were here, and and his olfactory | organsstill possessed their keen sense of smell | he would have less difficulty in discovering /iwenty-six different odors on entering Mar- ket Hall.

Our | public halls are entirely destitute of these, ‘and therefore we can never experience the creat enjoyment which high-class music |affords until we have a suitable place for its ‘discourse. The Orchestral Club, ; Vor ‘contend with, as regards stage appoint- ete. No withstanding these, their rtion of the overture, ‘** Gavotte,”’ and rond Cross” were brilliant, while the walizes which followed were beautifully executed. ‘‘ Dream Faces’ was perhaps the most pleasing. The song was sung by la chorus of clear voices, and the waltzes | were played in admirable time and finish by ithe Club. The chorus from Anna Bolena, iby the Glee Club, with orchestral accom- | panim nt, was magnificent. Though it is j}unusual to encore choruses, a vigorous |} attempt was made to have this one repro- ;duced. The bass solo and chorus from | Hernani was also a gem. The solo was sung by Mr. Davidsen, whoj possesses an excellent voice, and with a little more jtraining he will make one of our best | amateur bass singers. | The vocal and instrumental solos were jadmirably rendered. Some singers did not | appear owing to illness, but the blanks thus | f j } caused were well filled. Miss Barr’s place was taken by Miss Crabbe, whose «lever irendition of ‘* Alice, Where Art Thou?’ | | | called forth an encore, while Mr. Uns- worth’s place was filed by Mr. Davison, who sang ‘* Nancy Lee” in good style, and also received an eweore. Mrs. Roome’s absence was particulerly noticeable, as she is a charming vocalist, and if present would have done justice to ‘The Green Trees Whispered Low and Miid.” Mr. Charles Herman's solo, ‘‘The Heart Bowed Down,”’ was c»pitally sung and encored, while Moss Crabhbe’s solo, *‘ Thy Voice 1s Near,” was very fine (see correspondence column.)Mr. | Fletcher's cornet s:lo was well executed, land Mr. Vinnicombe’s violin selo, ‘* Aire | Varie,” was a masterly production, surpass- zx all Mr. V.'s previous efforts. It is ‘needless to say it was enthusiastically encored. The next Concert of the season will be given in about two weeks, inthe Y. M. C. A. Hall. <A number of fine new choruses, with orchestral accompaniments, will be given by Mr. Earle’s Glee Club. Classical selections will be performed by the Club, and several of the best lady and gentleman vocalists in the city will take part. | LETTERS 10 TRE EDITOR, The Concert Criticized. Six, — Considering the disagreeable weather a good audience assembled in the Market Hal! last evening to hear on their i first appearance for the season the ; Orchestral and Mr. Earle’s Glee Ciubs. |The copneert had been largely advertised end puffed, and quite a number were present who do not usually attend amateur ;concerts. | am afraid that the general feeling was one of great disappointment i When the clubs amalgamated they did so | with the object of raizing the musical status |in our midst; but their effort of last even- } in crowned with but little if any The selections by the club were 'not played with the spirit which usually their performances; the ‘‘Loved Ones’ waltzes being particularly deficient in expression. The ‘Tres-Jclie” |} waltzes were played with more esprit and well received. The overture, | **Diamond Cross,” was rendered with more taste than any of the other selections, the anudante passages being very effective. Gret taste was shown by Miss Crabbe in singing both her solos—the latter, ‘* Thy Vas BY | success. ha acte1iZes we Te ‘voice is hear’ being sung very sweetly. Mr. Fietcher played an air from *‘ Falstaff’ in good style and received an encore. ‘**The Heart Bowe very fairly by Mr. C. Hermans, but the itime was decidedly slow. In the absence lof Mr. Unsworth, Mr. J. K. Davison sang i ‘Nancy Lee.” The ‘‘boys’ showed their i . . . . “a | appreciation of the famiiar air by a spirited encore The comic stig in character by Mr. Maynard, would have bren much | improved by a better knowledge of tie words and music. We cannot see how | pieces like the last mentioned can have the leffect of raising the musical taste in our ‘community. The first appearance of Mr. | Earle’s Glee Club, was not marked by any | brilliant or even fair success as anticipated. In both choruses there was a scarcity of ‘soprano; and in the upper notes we were ‘unable to hear any. Mr. Davison sang the ‘solo from **Hernani,”’ very well, but in the ichornses as before, the soprarno was weak {aud the upper notes very defective. The | piece par excellence of the evening was 'Mr. Vinnicombe’s violin solo, which was \repdered im a masterly meaner. In ‘resp nse to an encore Mr, Vinnicombe | played *‘*‘When the Swallows Homeward Fly.” We hope that the effort of last even- \ing ie not a fair specimen of the four Grand | Concerts tu’be given this season.

Miss Crabie }sang ‘* Alice, Where Art Thou?’ and “Thy Voices is Near.” Both pieces were rendered in her best style—in fact, her singing was all that could be desired and it is pleasing to notice how very popular this young lady is bec ming as one of our best vocalists. || might here mention, however, that I can- not approve of the management that ex- pects too much work from one person, as was the case last evening, and in Miss | Crabbe’s inte est I mentionit. She should jnot alow hersef to be overworked upon feuch occasions, Mr. C. Hermans sany ‘The Heart Bowed Down,” which should have been, and no doubt would have been, one of the best pieces on toe programme, but for a want of confi- de: ce. Mr. Ma, nara’s comic s: ng wag very comicai iudeed, so the god’s thought. Mr. Davidson very kindly consented to fill a gap by singing ‘‘ Nancy Lee,” which | brought ont a clear rich voice that I for one would like to hear oftener. The Ohestral Club gave some very fin» s: lec- tions, and ina manner that was highly er ditable, it being their frst appearance suce reorgwization. Mr. Earle’s Glee Viub as usual gave an excellent account of themselves. Altogether the concert was a decided success, and, when it is considered that owing to other entertainments of different kinds a large number of our peorle were prevented from attending last even ing, the Orchestral Club have geod reason to congratulate themselves upon the success of their first concert this season, and may fairly expect good support for those to follow. Thanking you for space, I remain, ete., ONE WHO WAS PRESENT. Our Sidewalks. Sir,—I wish to call your attention to the neglected state of the city sidewalks, particularly to the same during the winter months, that it may be the means of infus- a spark of vitality to the inherent torpidity prevading the corporation, It is not my desire to say a word convey- ing the meaning of disrespect towards that body, or that they are deficient in mental ability, or that they do not fairly represent the citizens of Charlottetown; but I do say, that, lke the great body cf the citizens, their good sense is thrown away, in the endeavor to attain a standard of worality under the ‘Scott Act,” that even Christianity has failed to accom- plish. If they would for a time desist from following this ignis yatuus, and bend their endeavors towards local improve- ments, carrying out the ordinances they have laid down, you must allow it would be better for us. I notice that from time to time you call their attention to the delapidated staie of the sidewalks, and that the reason « flered for not keeping the same in proper repair, is that that their pre- decessors have run up a extraordinary debt, the interest of which absorbs a great part of the corporation income—Jeaving a ‘rifling sum to affect even necessary repairs, No doubt, Mr. Editor, the excuse is a true ope—but it does not prevent the corporation from carrying out their law in respect to keeping the side walks clear of the filth of their covering, especially in the leading streets dvring summer, neither does it prevent them from causing the snow and ice that is accumulated during the winter and to be removed from the sidewalks, because the civic law com- pels owners of property fronting on the street, to keep the sidewalks clear. For some years past a slight effort has been made to remove the snow and ice from the sidewalks, Several of the citizens doso, or are compelled to do so, while others set the corporation at defiance and leave the snow- fails to accumulate until the sidewalks become almost impassalle. I experienced this last week to my cost, by tumbling over two of these barricades on my way to the Station to catch the night train. The nearer you get towards the Station on Water street, the great thoroughfare thereto, the greater the danger fora foot- |passenger. [am sure you agree with me | when | say that this wanton neglect is un pardonable, and that there must be some | way to correct it. | No other civilized community would put up with it. It has been truly said Char- | lottetonians will put up with anything so jong as itis conducted in the old way. I trust, Mr. Editor, something may be done to remove the snow immediately after fail- ing, either by forming a vigilance committee to lock after the other committees, or by presenting the case to the court, through which we may be enabled to walk along our streets with comfort and security. Yours respectfully, A Civizen. A Complaint. Sir,— We would like to know how it happens that new and expensively fitted-np ; coaches are kept on the western end of the road, for the accommodation of Queen’s and Prince counties, while the old coaches, with their shabby upholstery and uncomfortable seats are kept on the eastern section. The people of King’s County, when they pat- ronize the Railway, pay the same fare as their more favoured neighbors west, and are surely entitled to the same consideration§ This is a matter of importance to the pub- ic and should at once engage the attention of our representatives.
