The at- tendence was even larger than on the first eccasion, and the audience was fully as enthustastic. All the numbers were well sung, but the hit of the evening was made by the Philharmonic Quartet in an arrange- ment of Mendelasohn’s “On Wings of Song,” which had been made for female voices by Miss Lotta Mills. Miss Mills was also very much in evidence in her splendid accompaniments, and in the work of Miss Fassett, who played two selections by Grieg in an intelligent and artistic manner. She was also represented on Wednesday evening by Mrs. Gilbert, whose interpreta- tion of Mendelssohn's Capriccioso Brilliante, inadvertently omitted in the notice of that concert, was highly commendable and was loudly applauded. The quintet from “Rob Roy,” which was recelved with such favor on Wednesday night, was repeated by request last evening, and was thoroughly enjoyed, as was also the quartet from “Carmen,” which was again excellently done. Those who partic- {pated in last night's program were gen- erally more advanced in their musical edu- cation than those in the first musicale, and all acquitted themselves in a manner alike creditable to themselves and to the compe- tent instruction they had received. Those who took part last night, besides those al- ready mentioned, were Misses Armstrong, Conley, Turner, Whitaker, Reichenbach, Simonds, Judson, AtLee and Doe, Mrs. Flint, Messrs. Roberts, Skerrett and Lueb- kert. All received handsome floral tributes, and the stage was a bower of beauty, banked with palms and potted plants. Madame Marte Decca, the singer, will be the guest of honor at a supper given by Coyne Fletcher this evening. No one was a greater friend to music and musicians than the late Mrs. Clara V. Pope. She was one of the earliest pa- tronesses of classical music in this city, and for over thirty years the hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. Pope was a ren- dezvous for musical talent, amateur or professional. There is hardly a local mu- sician of rote within the past quarter of a century who has not at some time taken active part in the delightful gatherings at their home. Mrs. Pope’s first musical club, established nearly thirty years ago, included such instrumentalists as Doctors Kimball and Perabean, Samuel Carusi, Geo. K. Finckel, Wm. Morehead, Fred Kroell, Samuel Kieckhoefer, Ferdinand Weller, Wm. H. Barr, Henry Eberbach, the Ulke brothers, Henry Donch, George Pateen and Henry Fries. Of the vocalists there were Adelina Fleischmann, Marle Philp, Miss May, Pauline Ewer, Charles C. Ewer, W. H. Burnett, Samuel G. Young, Nat. Fugitt and others well known in those days, and some of whom are still in the public mind. Many of those mentioned above have ceased their labors here, but the memory of the work they did in the cause of mu- sic while living stil! remains, and the in- ence they exerted upon the music pro- ess in this city is still felt. Mrs. Pope continued her musicales even up to the time that she was stricken with the illness that resulted in her death, and of thcse who in more recent times partici- pated in these delightful gatherings may be mentioned Dr. Harry Sherman, John P. Lawrence, Henry Xander, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lent, Herman Rakemann, Anton Gloetzner, Paul Miersch, Walter Paris, Josef Kaspar, E. W. Stone, Herr Beck- el, J. R. Gibson, Mrs. Wm. B. King, Miss Amy Leavitt, Miss Lotta Mills, Miss Alice Burbage, Mr. E. D. Mayo, Maud Powell, Bertha Lucas, Anita Cluss, Harry Wheaton Howard, Herndon Morsell, Mrs. Morsell, Warren Young, Bertha Lincoln Heustis, Mrs. Nute, Nellie and Lillian Hunt, Mrs. Philip Munro, Wm. Castle, W. D. Macdonald, Tom Karl, Geo. Conley and members of nearly every English opera troupe. The loss of Mrs. Pope to the musical pub- lic is great and is sincerely felt, for aside from encouraging local talent she was foremost in promoting entertainments for charitable purposes. The first concert for the benefit of the Homeopathic Hospital, which has since been so materially bene- fited by musical performances, was given in Mrs. Pope's parlors, the performers be- ing selected from the best members of the Georgetown Orchestra, the Marine Band and leading amateurs, led by John Philip Sousa. A neat little tribute to her worth has been issued by a friend, which, while it does not do her entire justice, is a sin- cere recognition of Mrs. Pope’s value to the musical cult in Washingto! The New York Manuscript Society held a banquet last night, at which Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer, chairman of the finance committee of the Choral Society, attended as-a guest frem this District. There is but one mem- ber of that society resident here, and that is Mr. Ernest Lent, who has had soine of his compositions performed by the so- clety. But Mr. Lent could not make it conventent to attend this banquet, and so delegated Mr. Pfeiffer to go. In his speech Mr. Pfeiffer referred to the progress that music had made in the District and of the part that the Choral Society had played in this development, and emphasized that two works by American composers had been produced by that society--Dudley Buck’s “Light of Asia” and Dvorak's “Specter Bride.” He alluded to the need here at the national capital of a music hall of su‘i- cient size to be of benefit to the production of large choral works and properly equip- ped with a first-class organ. The erection of a hall of this character, he said, was the object of the Choral Society, and he urged that all lovers of music in its high- est and best sense and all who are con- nected with musica! people should ald the society in their endeavors to accomplish such a desirable result. > Universalist Club. At the annual meeting of the Universalist Club, held last evening, at the Churen. of Our Father, the following officers were elected; Pre A. G. Roger: vice pre: s, Jay F. Bancroft, C. R. S. M. Ryder, Mrs. C. W. Fitts, Miss rrie Jordan and Mrs. Frank H. Thomas; etary, H. E, Williams; treas Miss C. Hills.
