Calve has a warm place in the hearts of theatergoers not alone on account of her voice and its capabilities, but for her per- sonality as well, and yesterday afternoon at every appearance this personal regard was shown in the reception, in fact, ova- tion, that was mcecorded her. She sang three num! san encore to the first one. Her that Sumber was “The Pearl of Brazil,” in Wwhien'Mir. Charles K. North played the flute obligato. The encore was ic that she responded with a waltz song. Although the former number is rather time-worn, Caive sang it in such a way asgto cause it to take on new meaning and new beautics. In the scene from “Hamlet” her voice found fuil oportunity to show itself in its grandest <ffects, but half her hearers lost sight of this feature in her great dramatic power, and at its close she was recalled again and again. As a closing number she sang with the tenor and baritone the trio from the fifth act of Mile. Calve is not only the poss of a voice not great, but vith a sympathetic quality and of good carrying power, cultivated to its fullest ex- tent, and she knows how to use it with the greatest possible amount of effect. She possesses also that personal magnetism that attracts the attention of her hearers and holds their attention. These qualities of voice and personality, as well as her ability as an actress, have all combined to give her that position of command which she holds in the operatic world. The other two singers on the program were J. H. McKinley, tenor, and Heinrich Meyn, baritone, who was forced to take Signor Camparari's place, the latter being il, both of whom are well and favorably known in Washington. While neither one of them is in the same class with Mlle. Calve, their work was pleasing, and they were given a most hearty reception. Mr. McKinley sang the prize song from “Die Meistersinger,” giving it in good style. Mr. Meyn sang with his usual skill and feel- ing, and gave very general satisfaction, especially in the Toreador song from “‘Car- men.” The Boston Festival Orchestra, un- der the direction of Mr. Moilenhauer, while it did rot, perhaps, give the good work it might have done under r or a Seidl, was in nearly every respect satis- factory. It gave the ‘Meistersinger” over- ture, Bizet’s ballet music for “Carmen and Saint-Saen’s “Le Rou et de Ourphale” ana the “Marche Hervigne.” A large audience of society people were present, including Mrs. McKinley and a party from the White House, and many of note, as well as Bronislaw Hu- r . the boy violinist, who is a warm friend of Mlle. Calve. BRUCH’S “ARMI better and more artist work of the Choral Sccicty T. esday evening was the second rendition by the society of Max Hruch’s secular oratorio ‘Arminius’ last night. The First Congregational Church held even a larger audience than at the first concert. and by their intense stii s during subdued parsages and enthus stic applause following those describing vigorous action, the members of the larg: ‘embly gave ample testimony of their appreciation of the interpretation of the insp:ring composition.

Mr. E. gave an admirable and ertistie rendition of the role of Siegmund, his interpretation of the death song being especiaily creditable. Altogether the concert was a splendid mu- sical success. The chorus did admirably, under the efficient directorship of Prof. Josef Kaspar, and he and the members of the society deserve unstinted commendation for their creditable work, involving, as it did, much patient and painstaking prepa- ration. Undoubtedly a large share of the credit for the success of the concert ts due tc Mr. John Porter Lawrence, who, with the aid of the great organ of the Congrega- tienal Chureh, so admirably susta!ned 2 ass'ste] the sclcists and chcrus. “Arm'ni Is a work heroic in nature and in contrast to the cha usually rendered by the Choral te Expressions of delight at its theme and of approval of the excellence of its production are general among the friends and sup- porters of the society, many of whom re_ ard these latest concerts as the best efforts the society has made. MR. CLUM'S LECTURE—“California and the Great Northwest” was the subject of a lecture delivered last night by Mr. John P. Clum at Carroll Institute Hall. The lecture was profusely illu ed with handsome sterecpticon views and was lis: tened to with evident appreciation by the large audience. The lecture deait with the beauties of southern California, aad then the audience was taken by easy stages to the magnificence of Alaskan sights. Mr. Clum’s recital at all times being delight. fully interesting and instructive THE CANTATA OF “RUTH."—The can- tata “Ruth” was given at Odd Fellows: Hall last night before a large audience, tor the benefit of the First Reformed Church.

MR. CARUANA’S DANCING EXHIBIT. —One of the annual events in spring enter- tainments in Washington is the May ball or exhibition of fancy dancing by the pu- pils of E. Mortimer Caruana. The exhibit which he will present this year wili exceed in quality and in quantity any previous affair given under his direction.

The lecture was largely attended by some of the most notable people in Washington society, and at the conclusion of the dis- course Sir Archibald was presented to the guests at a reception held in honor of the distinguished visitors by members of the geological survey of the United States ut the geological survey building on F street. The Marine Band, under the direction of Prof. Fanciulli, discoursed music througn- out the evening, and at 10:30 o'clock re- freshments were served. é Among the guests who were invited to attend but who found it impossible to be present were President and Mrs. McKinley and the members of the cabinet. Sir Archibald is in this country to note the progress being made in geological re- search. He is to deliver a series of lec- tures at Johrs Hopkins University, at the request of which he came to this country. He is also to lecture in New York. His lecture last evening was interesting in the extreme, and was handsomely illustrated by stereopticon views taken in the northern part of Europe, and on the north coast cf Scotland, including the Frugatt cave. The different’ periods down to the latest_vol- canic action in the northern part of Great Bri were described and their forma- ticn iilustrated by handsome scenes. He said that Americins had brought the sub- ject down to a mvch later period than the English, and that he had found much to i t him.
