The program proved unusually popular and th* 1 orchestra was forced to respond to many encores. Two movements from Beethoven’s first symphony were given, also a group of Norwegian dances by Grieg that contrasted pleasantly with three Eng lish dances by German. One of Con ductor Wilson's compositions. "A Country Dance and Romance," w-is not the least beautiful of the num bers. The overture to "Oberon" com pleted the program. The vocalists also excelled their efforts in previous concerts. The sc.\- tette from "Lucia di Lammermoor," by Mrs. Benjamin Elsas, Miss Sprits, Mr. Warn well, Mr. Cundell, Mr. Wat ters and Mr. Bates was encored re peatedly, and although Mr. Watters suffered from a cold, his arias from "Figaro,” and "Falstaff” were among the features of the concert.
