The complimentary benefit to Signor Hazon, leader of Simonsen’s opera company, was a testimony to his skill as a musician and his popularity as a leader. The Opera House was crowded. To do honor to the occasion the principals of the company gave Signor Hazon’s march “ Salve Regina,” and Signora Giuli sang his latest composition—a romanza entitled “ Addeo,” which is characterised as a striking composition, powerful and effective, with wejlwritten instrumentation. . Signor Hazon was the recipient of a number of handsome presents, including a complimentary address, an ivory baton, mounted with gold, from the orchestra, a gold watch from the artists of the company, a hand-painted sachet and a cigar ease from individual members. The audience bestowed, beautiful .floral wreaths in abundance, and gave Signor Hazon such a reception as was never before accorded to any conductor in Melbourne.
