BOHEMIAN ORCHESTRA.

TWO NEW SOLOISTS. SUCCESSFUL CONCERT. The fine programme provided by the Bohemian Orchestra at the third concert of the season at the Town Hall last evening attracted a very large attendance—one of the largest seen, in the Town Hall this year. Two new soloists were introduced. Miss Joan Laird gave a pleaeincr performance. Her singing revealed good finish and careful enunciation. The operatic solo { Woi Che Sapete." from Mozart's "Xozze di Figaro," showed the fine quality of her vofce. "The Flower Song" from 'Taust," was given most attractively. A eplendid reception was accorded >the second soloist, Master Harold Taberner, a violinist who appears to be very clever for his years. His knowledge of technique is rather remarkable. He was given great applause for the way he played Wiena Wieniawski's "Fantasie Brilliaute." i The orchestra, was at its test in two items—Victor Herbert's "Irish Rhapsody" and Wagner's "Rienzi" overture. Popular Irish airs in the rhapsody weremost pleasing. The Wagner received sympathetic treatment and was exceedingly well done. Haydn's "Clock Symphony" was also well received. The opening number Gherubini's "Anacreon" overture was pleasingly given, the violins doing good work. Several other items were given, the whole programme being a treat for music lovers. The eoncert was under the direction of Mr. Colin Must on.
