The concert given on Friday at the Country Club by Miss Henriette Murkens and Miss Merryloes, with the assistance of amateurs, was not quite so well attended as it deserved, for artistically it was great success. The fair violinist, Miss Murkens, played perfectly and with brilliant tone and execution; her contributions were very varied, including the 9 first movement of Beethoven's " Kreutzer Sonata," a composition that was listened to with the most intense interest, in which the piano part was taken by Miss Merrylees; another duet for piano and violin, the " Preislied" from Wagner's "Dio Moistersiingor," arranged by Wilhelmj; and—two solos, Vieuxtemps' "Ballade et Polo-noise," to which she added, as an encore the well-known " Serenade" of Piorné; and most taking " Bercouso," with muted strings, by Townsend, and 8 spirited "Mazurka" by Wioniawaky. All these were admirably given. Mise Morrylees showed her complete mastery of the piano in the pretty Spinning Song from Wagner's "Flying Dutch: by Lien and two ing's " Frih-"Zug der applauded and encored. Mrs.
lon's very sweet and sympathy voice did full justice to Alma Goel Mélisande in the Wood," to which si added T. Nevin's joyous " Spring Song," and Berger's "Tout Passe," which suited her voice and method to perfoction. Me. Moyer was in excellent voice, and hi d baritone was well heard in the " Sicilians" from Mascagni's " Caval-larin Rusticans," to which he added, as an encore, a Danish song, splendidly delivered, and Jane View's Pour mieux t'aimer." There was one other number, Mr. A.D, Brent's Fiute Solo, accompanied on the piano by Mr. Moyer. This was a most amusing "sell," no sound procooding from either instrament, and it was followed with roars of laughter from a highly delighted audience.
