It is fair to say at once that this seemed to make no difference to the performers. Mr, Luckstono opened the ball with a delightful Garolle, tranacribod for the Dehbes, both admirably played and d aervedly applauded, In the scend part Biz. Luckstono played Chopin's Fantasie in Minor, one of the grandest conceptions of that sublime composer. He play it with the fervour, precision, and admirativs due to Chopiu's genius, and as was only becoming, effaced himself before the altar of the groat Polo; and it is the more difficult to understand how he could follow it, 1u response toa unanimous encore, with attach a pivco of trash, in a musical Lo Courier of Tuéodore Ritter ing of which, however, left noth ug to b de rod. Signorina Marchetti was again i ice, and did full justice to her well-actions from Verdi, Donizetti Mr. Remenyi had sot himself a task of considerable magnitude. Hi first appearance was in a Sonata by Tattini, such a delightful composition and 80 ex: pronsively played, shat the least musical Perzon could understand and enjoy every note of it, It was an intellectual as well as an cesthotic treat. Tartini was the imfollower of Correlli, the father of the violin, at the end of the century, Ho was a magni in his lime, and it is his merit that he produced the first manifestation of the Sonata form, the form in which he cast it was rather narrow in comparison with the d lopment which it reached though the gen of Haydn, Mozart, and ultimately Bethoven; but the form he adopted lasted nearly through a century, which is no light tribute to its merits, seeing that music only reached its Cinque Cento with the iucomparable Besthoven, three hundred years later than the other liberal arts. Mr. Re-meny was encored as usual, but contented himself with bowing his thanks. The fifth number of the programme ite coming the menwetto from i. monte for attinge, a perfect gem, followed by the immortal Serenade from Don Juan, the most magnificent opera ever wri which the audience was so delighted that they demanded and obtained its immediate repetition—and Mlendelssolin's equally immortal Spring Song. As an encore Mr. Re-meny played a Cavatine by Raff, a work full of inspiration and creation, and almost the only piece of the composer that has ur-vived out of a groat number much admired when they wore first produced. In the second part the Master began with Elsa's Procession to the Minster from Wagner's Ibis an air that requires to do it justice the full orchestra and chorus, which Wagner loved so well and employed to auch perfection, and to play it as a sula on the violin is only to give an and show th executant's catholicity. The' concert concluded with the Hungarian national march, Rakocay, whose playing by Dir, Romonyi has been 20 well described by Théophile Gautier, that it would be sacrilege to ro-attempt it. he march iteolf is the last expression of heroic ins, the four motives in it each tomerig over the other in majesty and ur, Br, Remenyi playa: nia! as an encore, and again sent audience away in astato of wild eutiusiaem.
Mr. Remenyi's "farewell" concert Saturday wight was decidedly of a popular? character, as far as the gre share is concerned, and was composed almost entirely of tion, here was a good and very apps dative audience present, although the he tempered by a delightful breeze from the river, made a great number of people prefer to go and listen to the Town Band in the Garden, rather than sit for a couple of hours in an unavoidably somewhat hot theatre. A performance must be exceptionally good to nearly Gill the Lyceum Theatre on a bright moonlight night when the thermometer is nearly up to 90. With the exception of the Fantasie on Les Huguenots, the great violinist's part in the programms was confined to the rendition of well-known aira, domestic and patriotic, of Scotland, England, America and France but two perfect gems wore given as encores, which somewhat redeemed the performance in the ears of those who despise anything but "classical" music, were a serenade of Schubert and th Which a0 first concert. necessary to repeat Britannia s0 excites had to be played a audience called for it a th time. We have described before Mr. Luckstone's playing of the Funeral March of a Mario nette; the March Hongroise, which followed it, by Kowalski, was full of fice and melod: and was equally appreciated. In second part, Mr. Lucketone played a composition of Scotch Melodies of fireworks, brilliantly played, and followed, as an encore, by Silberman's Steedish Wedding March, the originality of which, and its bright' tunefulness, again delighted his hearers. Signoriua Marchetti gave us again two of the best known selections from Norma and Linda di Chamouni; airs which are somewhat out of fashion now, but will again be in vogue when the certain reaction in favour of melody has become fact. She aang alo in her well-known style Arditi's masterpiece I? Bacio; and though she was loudly and genuinely applauded, she contented herself with bowing her thanks, Tt was not to be expected that there would be a large attendance at the concert -}on Monday night, many people being deterred by the which it almost unreasonable to attempt to except in a long chair on a south veran having made previous engag the belief that last Saturday w Ao.

The people who did come were well rewarded for their bravery, Ihe theatre was not insufferably hot, and a long and well-chosen programme was admirably performed. Me.

for the piano was the work of the pianist himself. Wo have remarked here: tofore on the exceeding virtuosity ut Siguorina Marchetti's singing of Verdi Caro Nome which followed. It is a cavatina which displays to the best advantage this lady's natural and acquired powers. Mr. Remonyi, who next appeared, was received with the Usual warmth by the audivuce, and his playing of Spohir's Scena Cantante, from ighth Cuucerto—oue of the master-pieces of the German School, singing being a perfect chef daxuvre,—was ai ct that the hearer entirely forgot the size of the audience, in pure delight at the strains. Mrs, Holwill followed with thatimmortal Sovtch tahad, "Twas within mile o' Edinboro' toon," sung a0 sweetly and sympathotioally—as only this lady can sin Scotch ballads—that the audisuce woul not be denied, but 1 The first part wound up with a grand duo for two violins, by De Heriot. Lhe duo chosen ie thoroughly good music, of the Belgian Schvol, the adagio especially being very charming. We have never heard Mr. Iburg, who joined Mr. Remenyi in the duo, play ao well: ho was led along by the master's magnetism, and the result was an enormous success, and the two performers were cheered over and over again. Mr, Luck. stone opened the second part with a for piano of Ros m Tell, which he his usual brill compelled to give an encore, and chose ery graceful Guovlte of his own composi with which the house was delighted. Siguoriua Marchetti so charmed her hearers with Rossini's undying Une voce poco fu, that she also was compelled to sing an encore, choosing tur the purpose the lovely Saper Vorreste from Verdi's Halle in Maschera, Wo huve had the pleasure of hearing M. Blondin in public ones or tw but we never heard him sing voice or more spirit than he did on ay in La Marscillaise, in which he was accompanied by Mr. Remenyi and Br, Luckstoue. The striking words and air brought down the house. Bir. Remevyi has given us before the Hungarian Melodies which followed; their wildness, fire and. sweets tives strike ove more each time they are repeated. Number 10 was the well-known Alla Stella Conyidente of Robaudi, sung with Great sweetness and expression by Dire. Holwill, to the violin and piano accompauinientof Messrs, Remonyiand Luckstono.
pleasing specimen of the light Italian School, charming to listen to, but with no great merit as music, Mrs, Holwill declined the encore vociferously and uuauimoualy demanded.
