...evidently well pleased. "Ave Maria" was well rendered, though not so smoothly as usual." To Thee, O Country" secured its accustomed encore. The solo in "My Queen" was remarkably well sung, and in answer to a rapturous encore of the piece a serenade by Raff was given. The piano duet also received an encore. The college songs were given with great effect, one in particular seeming to be an especial favorite...
...done duty so often in Cambridge, "Ave Maria," "Comrades in Arms," etc., and two or three new songs were sung which are to be brought out at the next concert at Lyceum Hall.

Cheever Goodwin's burlesque, "Evangeline," to be produced in a few weeks. It is a bold, spirited composition, and extremely effective as arranged either for the piano-forte or a full orchestra. It has been played at some of the theatres for the past fortnight with great success.
