THE MUSICAL CRITIC AND TRADE REVIEW.
THE BAND CONCERTS,
given once a week in former years, were well pat-
ronized, and as this was the opening one this
season, created unusual excitement and interest,
and proved a great success.
The selections played by the band comprised
Strauss's "Weiner Cromik" waltz; the overture,
Schubert; the "Lieder" quadrilles, Siewert; selec-
tions from "Patience," and "The Lost Chord,"
Sullivan.
Mrs. Caldwell, soprano, was in excellent voice,
and her rendition of the "Staccato Polka" was a
marvel of vocalization. Afterwards, by request,
she sang the celebrated "Cuckoo Song," and in
both instances received and kindly responded to

SHERWOOD'S PUPILS' CONCERT.
A CONCERT, at which some of the advanced
J\. pupils of Mr. William H. Sherwood per-
formed, took place at Horticultural Hall, Boston,
on May 25. The compositions and the perform-
ance showed a high degree of merit, especially
when the high grade of the works is taken into
consideration. Handel, Beethoven, Chopin, Schu-
mann, Mendelssohn, Kullak, Raff, Liszt, Saint-
Saens, and Rubinstein wore represented.
Miss Jenny L. Hamlin, a daughter of Mr.
Hamlin, of the Mason & Hamlin Company; Miss
May E. Reilly, of Buffalo; Mr. Charles N. Clark,
of Salem, Mass., and Mr. William H. Wade, of
Lawrence, Mass, (the latter being aiilicted with
blindness), reflected great credit upon themselves
in the performances.
It was, in many respects, a great success, and
commends Mr. Sherwood highly as a musical
instructor.
piATHEKINE LEWIS made her first appear-
\J
ance in this city on May 22, playing in
"Olivette," at the Grand. It was the best rendi-
tion of the opera that has been seen here, and was
received with much enthusiasm.
Miss Lewis is a good, although by no means
a great, singer, but what she lacks in singing is
made up in kicking.
There may be a great many people who can sing
better, but I will venture to say that no one living
can kick higher or oftener in a given length of
time.
