1 li THE OMAHA DAILY BEJEplrKIPAr. JUNE 11 , 188G. BOUNDS OF MELODY AT NIGHT , And the Intelligence of the Metropolis Listen to Them , GF1EAT NIGHT OF THE FESTIVAL- Hoard of ndncatlon The Nebraska Sportsmen Tlio Douglas County Xcnohoranml Otlicr Local Matters. Tlic Audience. , By common consent , everyone seemed to feel that that the audinnco last night at the festival would bo ths largest of the ncason. And so It was. Half an hour's grace was given It to take Its plnco , and , nt that tune , the solid ranks , two and three deep , which then extended from the rntranco to Fifteenth , wcro unkrokon. Several more minutes of delay resulted in the street being cleared , aim the most 'tardy ones being consigned to the scats selected by them. The audience was porhnps the most picturesque which has ever assembled In Omaha. It wns attired with becoming appreciation of the warm weather , and yet with such a variety of design and color as to make a thing of remarkable interest and beauty. The audience , notwithstanding the In tense heat , scorned cool and comfortable. Every window was open and a thousand fans of every conceivable shape , size and previous condition of usage , aided In the circulation of.currcnts which made the auditorium most comfortable. The seating of the attendance , was accomplished without a hitch. The ar rangements In this respect were simple , effective , perfectly understood and most completely carried out. Thojyoung gen .i , - well , Burt , Sampson , Richard O'Reilly , Drake O'Reilly and Ralph Bellinger. The auditors and management are in no slight manner Indebted to these young gentlemen. Wagner's operas are strange to our people. Especially HO ia "Lohengrin. " The beautiful Swan son , served to powi- larhsoit. It was delightfully sung by 1 Ir. Hlrschbach. This young gentleman is ono of the most promising tenors in this part of the country. But his has boon a disagreeable fate since his arrival. His throat luis been atVcotcd , so us to make it - > nlmosl impossible for him to intone without pain. And yet. he has been singing with remarkable olTbct. Last night , however. ho was forced to abandon all his other pieces , because of this annoyance , nhdin some of these , under dilloront cir cumstances , ho could easily have distin guished himself. "Oh , Let the Arm of Right be Strong , " the lirst quintette of tlio festival , was ren dered by Mr. Broderick , Mmo. iursch- Madi , Miss Huntington , Mr. Ilirsohbach , Professor Gill , the chorus following. The rendition of this wonderful piece , was n revelation of the niceity of discrimina tion , sweetness of tone and exceeding mastery of voice which distinguished the several parts of the piece. At one time , the entire attention is directed lo the so- .pranos and basses , which keep up the theme , until the other parts fall in with dramatic clYcct. The leadership of the principals seemed confident of their sup port , and the piece as a consequence was 'f most agreeable. ' . The crowning work of the nicht , and indeed of the festival , was the bridal chorus. Beautiful in itself , with a „ rythmic movement.graduating-into one i almost martial feeling , it readily finds favor wltn both chorus and orchestra. Last night the chorus sang most tenderly it nnd sweetly in the rustic phases of the idea , while in the bolder , it rushed to tlio attack with a vigor and volnmo which fairly set everybody excited. Tlio enthu siasm extended all through tlio house , to that degree that the last wave of the baton hud not been made when a vocifer ous demand was made for the ropitition of the piece. The accompaniment was rendered on the harp by Mme Chattorton. This lady is a virtuoso of undoubted talent. She has wonderfully nimble lingers and plenty of force , and she plays with good taste and sentiment which is free from ' exaggeration. The most remarkable fea ture of her performance was the variety of tones which she produced , and this , i with tlio accuracy of her execution in ex tremely rapid passages , showed her a I Jiarp-playor of exceptional powers. " ' f | Aldn : 11'urltnul. The triumphant inarch by the orchestra Is not a tuneful composition. It exacts a great deal from the musician and fails to repay the ellbrt. Yet it was played well. The contralto solo , Non PmMcsta,1' ' was the event of the ovcnlncr. If thd li'selcotion had been m.-ulo to test the flexi bility and compass of Misa-IItintington's yvoii'o , and likewise discover her method , n more satisfactory piece could scarcely a have been found. It abounds in dilUculties jof the chromatic order , and ranges .jfrom the lowest to the highest ' registers. And yet it was sung with ' -composure , dignity and comparative ease , all of which resulted in an onthusl- ' astlo recall , which lasted long after the 'lady had disappeared oft the stage. Her response was Schubert's classical piece Ungedundo. * 'Professor ( till , whom an untoward fate sins | kept from duo recognition by this scribe , threw his whole soul into 110 i * Liberty duet , from Puritam. singing his . , part with force , vigor , intelligence and drumatio. His voice nicely blended with f that of Mr , Urodoriek , anil both wcio re- cwurdud by warm applause. i /enobla. Thera is a heaviness about the title nnd jlory of Zenobia which frightunt ? ono ut first sight. In his treatment of tlio theme , 'Mr , Pratt has Introduced many startling inconsistencies , both as ropirda the tlmo of transition and the subject under elab oration.

Jt | s within the province of every journalist and ercry private citizen , for that mutter , to say a great deal on more ildo5 than one , of gentleman or ItuJy , who , because of'certain clrcunistauceq , ' 'to their notice. Mr. Pratt Is a living proof of the trutli of this assertion. Ho has bean tbo theme of much comment , the object of much criticism and the victim of much abuse. Happily , ho is not par ticularly known in Omaha as ono who has been severely handled In certain places. To tiio people of this city ho is known as nn nspiring musician , to the chorus , which for thirteen weeks ho has been training , ho is respected us n hard working , enthusiastic , indefatigable leader , a cortcons gentleman nnd an af fable friend. Since his first appearance hero , nothing has occurred to mar the friendly relations which nro so agreeable when found existing under the circum stances. Of his work the public has already recorded - corded an opinion. II has been not tm- like that of all other directors. It has been successful In some things , unsuc cessful in others. Ho has been remark ably successful in this respect that betook n chorus of strange voices , many of which had never cither hoard or ming n note of any of the pieces which have now boon heard for tbo last time , and fash ioned them into an organization which has been thu marvel of the best musicians whom we now entertain from Chicago. This hotcrcogeneous mass , in thir teen weeks , lie led accomplish what ordinarily requires in other locali ties for six months to ono year. In sing ing with them , the old nnd tried and promising neoplo whom ho brought from Chicago , felt that they in no manner were humiliating themselves In singing with a chorus which had so earnestly striven nnd been so wonderfully successful. Mr. Pratt may retire from Omaha with the esteem and conlidcnce of every citi zen , the appreciation of every lover of music and thu well wishes of every per son who appreciates honesty of purpose , devotion and enthusiasm. It was a kindly tribute of the Chicago chorus , which remembered him with a basket of beautiful flowers after the close of his overture from "Zenobia. " SIlss Hortonso I'lorse. Among tlfo principals ot tins festival , youth , beauty , musical culture and fu ture promise , have been distinguishing chaiacteristics. And of those possessing these , none bus been moro conspicuous than Hortpnso Piorse. She is compara tively new in the profession , yet her as pirations are those of an artist , not In any manner beneath her ability , and yet , not beyond the possibility which irt oven now apparent. She is ono of the handsomest young women In the profession. Her complexion is that of the blush rose , fresh and transparent. Her pyos are largo and suggestive of an- prociativo smiles and equable tempera ment. Her head is finely formed , rests lirmly upon a pair of beautiful shoulders , and is surrounded by a wrcatli of hair of richest sunlight. Her voice is a sweet soprano , pure , clear and resonant. Its training has given it flexibility and strength , aud es pecially in the higher notes a compass and correctness most grateful to consider. Last night she sang ulono after Fnrsch- Madi , m "Zenobia , " ' 'O , Give mo Back my Native Hills , " reaching high C , and sustaining it in a most successful man ner , while the audience warmly insisted upon a recall. The eflect of the piece was gratifying and was accompanied by a beautiful bouquet from admiring friends. Tlio Artistes. Up to the present writing proof has not been wanting that the stars of this festival have como provided with trunks of wardrobe. Some of them have ap peared every night , and yet , they have not appeared a second time in the same costume. Last night .Miss Huntington appeared in a cream white Ottoman silk , with train of the same material. ' The latter was edged with full rnschlng of silk. The waiht was cut square with plaitings of crone and puffed staves of the same material , with fancv edged ribbon-bows. There were full draperies on the skirt of striped crepe , with wider fancy edged ribbons catching up the drapery in diQer- cnt places. A largo sash fell from the outside of the waist at the back , and was trimmed with largo dots of silk ruscldng. Her ornaments were diamonds and pearls , among which was the exquisite pin of sapphires and diamonds given to this lady by the princess of Wales. Miss Honningcs was attired in white brocaded satin with yellow daisies. She wore a pendant of mpther of pearl inclosing - closing a brilliant diamond , which was found in a bouquet presented to her in New York. She wore a court train , and the front of the dress was trimmed witii duchesse lace anrl pearls. Miss Picrso's dross in front was of rhadamas satin trimmed with crystal beads , while it was also beautifully and elaborately enibroidernd. The train was on court , the sleeves short and the neck cut low. Her ornaments were a most beautiful maltese cross of diamonds with a spray pf brilliants in her hair. Mine Fursch Madi wore a maroon velvet trimmed with , real pearl beads fashioned into the shape of .bunches of grapes in tints of pmk green , white and gold. The front was literally covered with the beautiful articles. Thn neck was low , the sleeves short. The dress was an importation and bore the seal of Worth. _ Douglas County IJlroh Swlngors.

THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING , Side Scenes and Incidents of tko National Nuptials. FACT AND FANCY MINGLED. The Cut of tlio Cake , tlic Vixlct and French Maid Tho-Cabinet In Sclssor-Talls Tlio Slocc of tUo Correspondents. WASHINGTON , Juno 0. [ Correspondence - once of the UKC.J Tlirough tlio irentlo vibrations -of electricityi and many thanks to the inventor of thosauio happy medium all the world and his" sister Is gabbing to his or her ( mon never tnlk about micli things ) neighbor about the wedding of all weddings , which came off at the white house AYodncsdnx ; night , June 2 , 7 o'clock sharp. Alul u truly democratic wedding it was in every sense , n real old-fashioned country wed ding of the strict Presbyterian faith ( whcro all the ladles kiss the bride and the gentlemen , poor follows , stand a'nd look on and smack their' lips. In this special Instance all tlio men present voVd Jirm believers of " " and "equal rights , nq doubt would huvo stood the test of roi pouting govern ! times in honor of thu occasion. But'tho code of church and ! Btatn were against them , and their en thuslastlo feelings had to ooze out 0 their linger tips while squeezing the don crcatuto's hand. Lordyl Can't those dls tlnguishcd otlicials do n good'deal of thai kind of &iloiitiuiniiratiuH "when a heavy pressure is brought to bear upon them ? For real unadulterated tender sentiment ! President Cleveland's cabinet is pecu-j liar Secretary Whitney wearing the belt j His eyes were npt only filled with regret ful tears , but his mouth watprcd long-l ingly and his pretty pcach'blo.w face looked so wistful and pathetic.A Peen Whitney ! it Is too bad ins NAME is "mix. " Ho ought to bo called llomoo with Emma Abbott as Juliet , then hold get enough of it. Secretary Lamar was the first to arrive,1 and didn't scorn to know exactly what ho had arrived for , so dazed was ho over thcj blissful occasion. Ho wandered dreamily about like one of Dante's lost Boiils , try ing to find himself. I don't , think.that man over knows it is himself. A gleam , of self-consciousness passed wearily over his tired face as ho ga/.ed in a far-off way at the beautiful brute , no doubt wishing that it was himself. Secretary Manning has a pretty wife of his own , and no look of onvy'pass'cd over his palo visage as ho viewed the "December and Ma.v" hitch before him. The rest of the cabinet behaved , pretty well , considering it was the lirtit thing of the kind they ever attended. It was no' go with the attorney-general. Ho said ho wouldn't and no didn't. "Garland , " said Grover , "you may jump the ditch and come to my wedding in your country- made lly-back , no matter if it is a little shiny and hero and there abutton miss- inc. I don'tcaro a button anyway You know I am about to make a trial trip down the stream of life , and it would please me very much to have you witness the launching of the snug little craft ; in other words , Garland , my boy , we'll throw all society forms to the dogs ; come to my wedding ; you must , swallow-tail or no swallow-taiL" But Garland , the wretch , wits not softened one bit , and the knot was tied all the sauio , and every body said it was ' ' A KEAL JOLLY WEDDING. As one of the guests said , "tko bride looked too sweet for anything , " and didn't scorn to realize that she was about to become the "flrst lady in the land , " and the happy bridegroom well , he just appeared tickled to death ! Just as soon as they got spliced and the shakes were over , each fellow grabbed his girl and made for the sunpcr-room , whcro a cold bjto was served in real picnic style , beginning - ginning with soft-shell crabs and cham pagne to sharpe'n the appetite , while the b'rjdo was cutting the cake. Thq'ra is nothing mean about her. She cut good , big , thick slices and dispensed the hos pitalities with a graceful , generous hand , her hubby looking on with that calm , contcntea air peculiar to now husbands. Ho couldn't help laughing to save his life , and why shouldn't ho ? The prize was his. It was fun to see the rjcc lly as the , newly wedded couple came down the stairs all equipped for a bridal journey. Every fellow took a handful Und throw it at the president , filling his hair , neck and eyes , while the ladiosiookofl'theirdainty slippers and throw them as Mr. and Airs. Cleveland ruadd their exit'out of the red parlor window , where n carriage was ii waiting to take them to the suecial train that was to carry them to Dear { that's tlio way wo spell it now ) parki And how fooled the Dig'crowd waitmgin fro"nt'of the white house were to have suchji "inarch stole on them. " ThqjiQWfin'ap'er reporters , bless them , several -thousand in number , male and female , perched themselves in every possible .space and place , and with that vigilance known only to Washington correspondents , they were soon on the heels of the prcsfuejU's carriage and escorted him u > , J.lip sido- tnick , bound to got a look'ntthe'blibs'ful couple as they entered the pulaou car , followed by the white house steward and Lena. Miss Cleveland's nuud , who hail been loaned for thu occasion. It bounded well to say Unit "tho provident' was at tended by his valet and Mre. .Cleveland by her trench , maid. " Miss Cleveland loaned her maid to her sister-in-law for tlio occasion , Doing willing to conib her own hair and button her own bonts.fqr a few-days just to have her brother go nil' in style , lint Lena is no French maid just the sweetest Yankee girl. Now pos sibly she may bo German , the name sounds like it. At any rate , sue is a sweet , modest girl , and who knows but what she may bo in some higli political and social position herself some day , There is ho knowing who will lill that old executive mansion next. There isn't a shadow of n doubt that the happiest man present was DANIEL , THE I'HIYATi : SECKBTAUY , of course excepting the groomful. "sire. " O my ! how that lilitho little man lias worked and tugged to bring this matrimonial menial ship into port with coloro-llying ! It is ho that has planned the wtiolo thini : ; it is ho that knows how the thing ought to be donu. i don't know , but I shouldn't wonder if ho did some of the courting just to relieve the president , go willing and kind is he , and potuibly ho might Uayo done the popping. Ho is a wife man. Ho can < ( o more talking and give the least desired information of any man in the United States. And how ho.did doijgo the nowsuaper woman not an easy thing to do the day before the wed ding ! Lite to him \YI\S a howling wilder ness of newspaper fiends , The swarming of bees over a pot of boiling preserves on a hot July day was nothing in com parison. Daniel wanted to t-oll out. und lie did to the jwlito and uttenlho otlicials of the white huu.- < , Thcso gentleman are naturally truthful and pious none utuerit would bo Ap pointed but nn this special occasion they were excusable it they did stretch thu truth and do'a little inward swearing. Next to tlio private secretary , Major Densmore was the one most besieged , esjwcially by the ladies , who begged him to TKU. THEM AM , ADOlff IT , . .to save them- plcco of cake to dream .upon , to jir.ss thorn a flower , to save the combing * from the bride's ' hair fg put into locket * , to cut > button from ( b ? groom's shirt or pnntp , nnd wouldn t ho have the dlslinguished couple wnlo in their albums just buforo they went down stairsT Couldn't hb iJpssiblj hide them away somewhereV. Afrd how ho was petted by the no yspAprtr menl Major Donsmoro is a si foot Vormontcr and weighs about 235iipounds , but ho can crawl through the smallest hole and dis appear whore the newspaper man can t follow In a way to cjotivrnrtml the highest approval of his chief. 'In fact , ho hasn't his canal in thls'ttrt. ' ' Ho Is gentle and persuasive of speech nnd manner , oblig ing nnd gentlemanly to all , and yet can do more sleek , slippery dodging than any other olliclal about Uio'ivhlle houso. And his iiowors were t.txcd to the utmost on the day of the wedding. The major was gnncral-in-commancl on the day and night of the wedding , and well ho mar- .shallcd his forces. Captain Klnnio Is another very at tractive ollleial , quito mill to Major Dons moro in personal appearance , being slender and dolicnto m physique , nnd pronounced very fascinating to ladies xwho like moon-o'u-lako buauty Ho is a relative of the private secretary and therefore nn object of attack , thinking ho is a little closer to the throne , lint you might as well try tb pump water out of the sandy desert as to try to pump news 'out of that ofllolal. Ho stands ns Immov able as the Washington monument , but tbo difference between him and the namo- .sake of that monument is , ho can toll a ho ; nnd did toll several of thorn on the president's ' wedding day. Hut he'll bo forgiven , as everyone clso will for all that , ' vns a little off on that great day. O , but i wo. are glnd the president Is married and that there will bo nn end to all the fulsome ( no pun intended ) talk about the matter. At the present writing ho is rating at Door park.

Tlio crowd has nt length fully accepted as true- the reports which have been current lately , that there Is no longer any syndicate under wheat Pub lic and private cables wcro blue , nnd prices on the other side wore quoted as being lower. The cleatancos of wheat from Now York to-day nro comprehended In thu Woid "none , " aim exporting bouses In that city telegraph their correspondents hoio that the largo clearances from that part ore about over , with absolutely no new business In sight. The receipt * at primary western points are quite liberal , and although the back country Ls admittedly bnio of supplies , grain continues to como forward abundantly from somowheia It secmod as though nl- niostevery man who had any wheat Bt''d ' It out to-dny.

At any rate , nearly every ono was sui prised that the receipts to-d.iy weio as light ns they wore. Salesmen asked higher rates , but there was not much "snap" to the market , as buyers wcro very unwilling to pay the prices.
