Lett er From Mr. Earle. Srr,—lI had the extreme pleasure of at- tending and listening to the rendition of the programme of Camilla Urso’s Concert last evening; and when I say that this musical organization (excellent as it is) is the best of the kiad that has ever visited | this Province, I am simply stating what | and a number of others like myself, believe }to be true. I have not time to enter | the different selections, which, to my mind, were the ** gems,” but will simply say that |T do not believe Madame Urso’s porform- } ances on the violin could be excelled in any | part of the world. I heartily congratulate her upon having such an accompanist as Mr. Harry Hopper, and him upon his ex- ceHent performance of Lizst’s ‘* Rigolletto,”’ | which was a rare treat. I hope to see the | Lyceum literally packed this evening. By } doing sv shall we show those talented musi- cians that we do appreciate really first-class music, and at the same time encourage ithem to again come and see us. There were twelve pieces upon the programme and 'ten out of the twelve were rapturously en- | | cored. These were not encored merely to till up the time, as is generally done; and also to make a really flat concert go good among a certain few; but they were en- cored because they were really deserving of it. Isay, then, musical friends, if you love music, go to-night; and believe me you will enjoy a pleasant evening. Every iumber on the programme was delightfully rendered. Ss. i. EARLe. MARRIED.
