PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

*__ above SJoiaty gave tSirfrWCOnd con rt of tho ■eumrent oeasfrr. in St. tamos'* Hall last night, and mm honoured with lm> j of I --nwrous audionoo. As wraa!. j ?X pop"''«r ear* fa ciiso* f. a Scciot>;; ,i ko t.l,oPhilharnio«ic,whicli is doing n good rnrk for tho causes of mi'sic among tho i liwtrial <i!as. qc3 of tho community, ami K»i. tho facv. of difficaltte* which J oVtoany .pliable exL,,t nflcct th, j Chord Society, wo *v careful to m.k, na approximation U hypcrcnticbvn. _ \Vo ,™ frco, however, to express tho opinion that tho Society committed an unor of ■udgffiontin selecting Cor perforaioiico such i work us Bombers;'* o.ntata. It us far too pretension., an effort. As most innatea.* know it is an ornato and highly-wrought tottin'f of Schiller's beautiful poom, which M. boon pleasingly rcntt-Miiil into English .^bytlSoßcv.,J.T W «tbock D.I). The c horHlp»«apo9aroe\actiiiß,andtiosoloß(lu- < mand very artistic troatmont. ilie Society . mustered for tho porformanronoout 73 voices J «nd instruments, classified as follow :—ln- a struments, 25; sopranos, 17 ; contraltos, 11; t«nora, 9; baritones and baraes, 13. fle'rr Tntschka wielded ths ConductorV biton. Tho cantata was preceded by Resch's attractivo gavotte, " Heitnliclie Lobe" (Secrot Lovo), which was satis factorily rendered by the orchostra. As for tha execution of the cantata, its w«ftk points wore orchostration and chorus sincing, and, as indicatod above, the inhoront difficulties of tha music largely account for this; but tho manner in which gjme of the solos were interpreted wont n long way toward? atoning for nil short-, earnings. In tho choruses tho most frequent blemishes woro irresolution in attack and a tendency to loso the tone in rapid passages. The latter fault was particularly apparent in Che chorus, " Right Helpful,' iv.id a7so in the subse quent chorus marked poro ailug'w, "To Mother Earth." Tho slow timo in t!m Instance was not well observed. Taken generally, however, tho Society passed ;i toosevore ordeal with sufficient credit to lidicato that they are making satisfactory progress to eflioiency, and to bespeak jjr them every encouragement on the part of the public. Several of the gobs, as we have already obsorved, were remarkably well done, in fact, we question whether at ;s Choral Society's psrformance they would have been done so well. One of tkeso was tho tonder and ■ beautiful soprano solo, "Ah t the Wife it is," which Miss Gribblo sang with artistic taste and very nice expression. This lady J has a sweet and very tlexiblo mezzo-soprano , voice, and she has tho faculty of knowing how .to use it to tho best advantage. Especially good also wari Mr Edmondes' | rendering of the very onerous part of i the Master. D6spitu the fact that ho was manifestly Buffering from cold, his tine sonorous bass told with great effect, and • with tho song " In the Mould of Clay Com- ' pacted" ho fairly brought down tho house. None of the other soloists call for special , mention, excepting Mr Worrall, who , possesses a very good voice. In the second ] part of tho programme, " Tho lvalo Waltz," • an original composition by Here Tutychka, was played with such success as to ] elicit a prompt cncoio. It has a ■pleasing thenio, ami is well worked out, J the movement boiug swinging and moa- c jared. Tho march From "Norma" was tikon in too fast time, and it* oiled was ' marred in consequences Horr Tut?chkii"s ' arraugetneut of two fragments from " Koaa mnnde" |wero very agreeably oxocuted on j the strings, the conductor playing first " violin in first-class stylo. Tho chorus, "Comoitnio Him," was decidedly the bent rendered choral niureeau of tho entire concert, and it merited tho applause which the audience liberally bostowed. In the . "Archduke Frederic's Grand March" ' {Cibalka), a bright and inspirating piece, (ho orchestra achieved a legitimate success. Tie concert concluded with the National t Anthem. Wo understand that it is pro- ( posed to repeat it. There is no doubt that ■ tie Society havo a good title to public sup- j port,and the conductor (llerr Tutschka),as ndltsthc energetic secretary (Mr C!. F j Übell), have onrned hearty coinmonda- j tioata their efforts to devolop and popu- t lu_4n study of music. '

THE CIRCUS TO-NIGHT.

Mb R, Love having Becured an advantage ous site for tho Circus on the reolaimod ground between the now Kailway Station and the seawall, all available hands have been engaged to day in erecting tho spaci oiu marquee, and making innumerable other preparations for a grand opening to night. There is every prospect of a highly mceessful season. The troupe has been lengthened by the engagement of some ten or eleven fresh artistes sinco its last visit here, and there is likewise the additional attraction of tho side show. The "business," too, haa undergone con liderable change, and new tricks, jok^a, »nd funnyisms will delight the public. Their convenience, too, has been studied, for the securing of the present site gives the Circus direct access from Queon-street—-a wimble consideration in this season of uncertain weather. Apart from all this, Mr and Mrs Woodyear have earned a repu tation for good performance on tho part of their company, and this fact alono should ensure for them now, as on many previous occasions, a very cordial roception at the hinds of the public.

FEARFUL TRAGEDY AT MEL BOURNE.

Huabond and Wife Found Dead,

A tragedy was enacted in a house in Chessell-street, South Melbourne, at an early hour on Tuesday morning, 7th inst., when a gas meter maker named Thomas K. Bowden murdered his wife and then shot himself. It appears that for some little time past Bowden, who is only a locont arrival in the colony, and who bore the character of being a steady, industrious man, had been suffering from a delusion tbat his house was to be attacked by larrikins, and in order to resist them he provided himself with a bulldog revolver and tho necessary ammunition. During Monday he became greatly excited in his banner, and told his wife that if the larrikins entered the house be would kill tor. Sho, becoming alarmed, endeavoured to have her husband placed in custody, out failed. Various means were then tried to induce Bowden to part with the revolver, "it without avail. About one o'clock on Tuesday morning, a Mrs Roberta, living in j ™ vicinity, heard screamß proceeding from the direction of Bowden's house. She Woke her husband and told him of the Mcaastance, but he refused to beliovo wat anything serious had happened. Bo- Ween six and seven o'clock Mrs Lester, a boarding-house keeper, who had been in «c habit of calling the Bowdons, visited weir house as usual, but on knocking could jet no answer. Constable Dwyor, on being Wormed, made haste to tho houso, and wter knocking in vain foradmittanco.scalod «M fence at the back, nnd entered tho house ■v breaking open tho kitchen winitow. «i entering the front room, which was used W a bedroom, ho found tho doad bodies « Bmvdon and his wife lying about wee foot apart. Both were only partially T^od, and tiioro were no Hi;;ns of a ?ls* having taken place. In Bowden's "got hand was a live-chambered English 'uudog revolver, two chambers of which *«"> still loaded with ball cartridge. Tho "man had been shot in the left sido of the f**i and the man in the mouth, the r£r ,l! enetrating tho skull at tho top. wnwablo Dwyer also found about lOOlaige "m cartridges in tho room.
