As tho concert was an ostra one, tha Club selocted. for its numbers four choruses which it hnd given boforo—Smart’s ** Hostess’ Daughter,” Mondolssohn's™ ** Cheerful Wan- doror,” Noukomm's ‘ Et Incarnatus Eat," and Tisz’s *‘Cavalry Song,” in all of whish the Club did some of its best siuging, Tho Mon< delesohn chorus was greoted with the most . enthusinstio applauso, which immo- diatoly grow into & demand for an encore. As the conductor showed no signs of yiolding to it, it being tho custom of tho Club not to reply to oncoret, tho demnud became more imperalive,and wes kopt up for fully five minutos. At lust, tho Club made its appenrance, but ontly to taks up immodiately the majestic and deep Larmony of tho Neukomm choruses which folloywed ic, ko that tho coundnctor may bo credited with having ace complished the raro foat of successfully resiste ing an oncore.
