Madamo Nordlca In the Town Hall. Madame Nordica's second concert was given on Saturday oveuing in tho Town Hull, and again, as on tho previous occasion, tho platform was arranged with a green' trellis work covered with lycopodium and foliago intermingled with white flowers. Palms and huge bowls of arum lilies decorated tho stags both above and below, and formed a very pleasant variation to tho bald effect that usually prevails at suoh timoß. Madamo Nordioa, in a marvellously draped gown of cherry pink satin do soio that scintillated witn jewels, presented a strikingly arresting ligure. A soft touch of black in the form of ninon draping was fastened to the corsago by a magnificent jewel, and from there it softly draped the skirt in the front and onded in a tassel at the point. The touch of black waa continued on tho loft shoulder at tho back, but was caught into tho folds of tho gown at tho waist. The skirt opened over an underdreßS of white 6atin and lace veiled with cherry pink jiinon. Noticeable among tho jewels 6ho wore was a beautiful large crescent of diamonds on the front of tho bodioo, and on the right shoulder the satin waa caught into folds with a huge emerald, revealing orearii tulle covered with diamante embroideries. At the back of her head she wore tall black feathery plumes fastened with diamond ornaments. Madame Nordlca does not wear gloves, but rings and bracelets of diamonds, and in 'her (variety of movements alio is quite unlike other flingers upon the concert platform.
