THE DE MURSKA CONCERTS.

There was a crowded house at the Odd Fellows’ Hall on Saturday evening, when the last o£ the first series of the He Murska concerts was given. As to the success from an artistic point of view, it was again splendid. The “ Shadow Song” of Mdlle. de Murska was par excellence the effort of the evening, the ease with which this test song was rendered being remarkable. As w r as the case with her other pieces, it was enthusiastically encored. Signor Eosnati again sang—amongst other pieces—with a success equal to that which was achieved by him when he sang it on Monday evening, “Non e Ver.” Signor Susini appeared to great disadvantage owing to his cold, but nevertheless met with a good reception. The instrumental part of theprogramme, Maestro Strauss Ilia’s violinand pianoforte solos, was exceedingly fine, “ Home, Sweet Home,” one of the latter, creating quite a furore. In consequence of the great success of last week the management—which we may here state have during the past week given the greatest satisfaction by the able way in which the comfort of the audience was cared for—have now arranged for a new series of concerts for this week. The Napier people will therefore be disappointed for a short time, but the company will visit that place next.
