Albani's Last London Concert, The farewell concert of a frreat singer is almost always a pathetic occasion. Madame Albani's last London concert was no exception (says an English correspondent). The Albert Hall was crowded with 8000 men and women who bad learnt to lovo "the woman who sings better than the birds." Never bail an artist a more affectionate farewell. Madame Albani is not the singer she was. She wisely determined to leavo the concert stage while she could yet give pleasure. Following the strains of Tosti's "Good-bye," she mado her last Ijow to the public. Both Madame Patti and Sir Charles Santley took part in the Albani concert. Madame Patti's second husband, Siguor Nicolini, was the tenor who sang with Madame Albani at her Covent Garden debut in "La Somnambula" in 1872. A close friendship has always existed between the two great sopranos. That beautiful contralto singer, Miss Muriel Foster, also returned to the concert stage for the afternoon. Madame Ada Crossley's first appearance after her South African (rip was another attraction. Tho Victorian singer, by tho war, also sang at Madame Patti's farewell concert five years ago. It was Miss Crossley who gave Madame Patti the great floral star, with electric lights blazing at each point, which proved to be the most original and striking gift of that memorable day. Ada Crossley has always had a warm admiration for tho two leading sopranos of the later Victorian era. Mr. and Mrs. H. H.
