Tho third concort in the Richings-Bernard series was giveu last evoning at McCormick's Hall, Tho cold snap has ovidontly treated ull Dougherty, Buffal Michaole, Rochest B. touay Daniel Harris, Q, B, Rogers, [ eingors alixo, for this troupe hardly fared bettor iu point of patronago than our home gociotics Inst week. Tho audience was s good one, but it waa light compared with what it would have beon bad the thermometera boen anywaye rea- sonable, ‘Tho troupe, howover, sang as heartily god gleofully og if tho ball hnd bosn crowded to overflowing, and tho matchless excellence and conventional nousonse of the performance were alike given with the customary offect that Mrs, Bernard haa secured by her pationco, skill, and drill. In changing tho character of the troupe from an Old'Folka to a costume concert com- pany, the charactor of tho programmes has beon changed, and not altogethor for the better. Tho programme of inst evening, for instance, contained some good numbers, liko Adam's beautiful and impres- sive ‘Christmas Song,” tho Edward's and Wilas’ madrigals, tho familiar ‘Hallolujal Chorus,” Balfe's “ Excelslor,” and the selections for male quartette, but the most of the numbors wore trivial stuff, unworthy of the capabilitios of this tronps. Such good voices, so well drilled and senuoned, ought not to bo wasted on auch music. ‘In tho chorus singing, we noed not particularize any nom. bers for criticism, for of course all were woll sung—not only with remarkavle quality of tone and perfect precision of time and accuracy of tune, but alao with the most oxquisite effects and bhading. Tho malo quartette singing was por- fect enough to suit the most captious, Brown was as humorons as ever tn his piano nonsenso, and as capital ag over in his accompanl- ments, which ho suits to tho various requirements of the agpriolots programmes with the nicest offect, Mr. and Mra, Bernard aro, of courso, tho contra! figures, and aot ouly add greatly to to the vocal effects with their exporienced and skillful yocalism, but aiso with their ploasant humor. It would add, howover, to the piquancy of itif it possessed a little moro of novelty, ‘The newcomer in the troups, Mra, Drayton, docs not contribute much, at least in solo singing, to the attractivenses of tho performance, and Inst evening her solo numbor and tho encore woro each badly chosen, and not in keeping with the Reneoral charactor of the programmo, As a whole, however, the Compauy gives a very plona- ont outortainment, and, so far as skill in yoo jam is concerned, Jeave nothing to bo desired. ‘This evoning's concert will be given at the Union Park Congregational Church, with the following programme, Which is a gveat improvemont on that of last evening: ; PART Madrigals—a ‘In goiug to my lonesome Ne > “Now fog atte mio dae lad Quintetto—"" Biow, gentle Te Selected ‘PANT Ty ‘Yoca!

This ‘Was unquestionably the event of last evening, and the faot that the occasion called outa remarkably good house {n spite of tha iuteuse cold is suflicient indication of the im- portance attached to it by the fashionable world, which was represented at the theatre in un- wanted numbers. Tho bill contained two plocos, “Dinoa, or Lova's Rovengo," and The Lattlo Robel.” The former isa strong melodrama in four acts, wrilten, if weare not mistaken, by James Anderson. ‘Ihe plot of tho story ig in- torenting, the events of an improusive desorip- tion, andtho action of the piece in the main brisk and racy, ‘he scone of the Play ia Isid io Paris, and the dra- mnatie person poreousgos of rank, The situation gives scope for rich scenia display, and the oxhibision of tastoful and costly costuming, 1 is unnecessary to say that both were aupplied. Migs Mawthoruo’s diovsing was exceptionally womptuoua, Each act jroduced a marval of millinery, woll sot off by ber impowing figure and Gracorul carriage, ‘Cho picce was well weted by wuch momuers of the company a# oro regarded +n8 artiste of any extiorionss j but, excepting Misa lawihorne, Aly.

The announcoment of “Rip Van Winklo” at the Museum did not call out s vory large audi- ence, The star wasa Mr. Keano, who is bettor known, we are given to understand, in the South- om Btatca than in tho West. Ho candidly admits having attompted no distinct characterization in his study of the part of Rip Van Winkle, but lass claim to an{mitation of Jofferson in this renowned crostion. His performatico must bo judged, therefore, upon tho excellence of Lis imitation. ‘Thus regarded, Mr. Keane's Rip te clover. It is not a vivid copy, because it is not nufliciently cloze to pass for a counterpart, but he has caught many of Mr. Jefferson's mannerisms of volea and geaturo, and roflects them with some deproo of accuracy. ‘The performauco would ho in the highest degree creditable wore it original, and that {s sayings great doal for it. ‘Tho sup- port rondored by the company is equal, perhaps, to the average. ‘THE ADELPHI was generously filled with people, and snbse- quontly with smoke, The houso was realty amazingly large, considering the weather, Tho bil wag oxcollent, and the audionce enthusiastic over. somo of the more popular features, Among theso may be reckoned the retuin of tho song-and-dance men, the fieynolds brothers, who wore greeted with a vocifcrons welcome; Miss Frankie, whoss ditties were en- cored with zeal; The O'Donobue in trish spo- cialties : Betty Remmolsburg in a pas soul: the trained dogs of Prof, Woodland, and ‘' Baby Bindloy.” The demonstratidna of spproval do- Jayed the performance go much that it waa late in tno night before tho curtain roso on “ The Fronch Spy.” This was given with an excellonco of acencry and othor adjancts which appealed to tho popular trate. Mr. Piercy was a little shy in iia now position, and retained rather too much of parloracting for the flavor of tha drama. Bile, Ravel was, of course, all that could be do sired, and Mr. Vranco as Mohamet diaplayed a vigor and athletic versitility which made ono comfortably warn to contemplate. ‘fhe d-aplay of pvrotechmca was unusuil, and the sconery and effects as imposing as possible, THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC was not wellattonded.
