A large andience of music luting peo ple attended tho piano lecital given by Mrs. Will Owen Joneson Tuesday even ing in tho University chapel. In no re spect was tho extreme culture and musical tasta of Mrs. Jones better shown than in the arrangement of tho program, in which tonal effects were most artisti cally contrasted. Threo brilliant num bers were given, tho Toccata and Fugue, Fire charm andTarantelle; the Vest wero poetical, dreamy or tender. Mrs. Jones ba3 power and breadth in her playing, a3 well as extreme delicacy, but the lat ter seems more her especial gift. Her apparent unconsciousness of technical difficulties and sura mastery of tho keys leaves the mind of the listener free to consider not her skill, but her interpre tations, which are always finished art's tic productions. The opening number, the Bach Fugue, was rendered in a broad scholarly man ner; but a f ugus can only bo intelligible to thoso understanding tho principles of its construction; and then excites no emotion but becomes an intellectual treat. The themes with the answering phrases were clearly detined in Mrs. Jones' playing and easily followed. The power of contract made the ex quisite Beethoven "Menuett" following ono of the mo3t enjoyable numbers of tho program; and this, with the group from Chopin, displayed tho clear, beau tiful touch of the player.

() 8 islisisi lull to rest the most uneasy spliit. Tho series ot pieces called 4,In A r cadv," wero charmingly rendered, and also of interest from their novelty acd tho poetic quality inherent in all Nevin 's compositions. America has been slow in forming her own school of musicians, but those now arising, like Nevin, have originality and love of beautiful forms. The music of "A ready"' is a3 quaint as a mediaeval pastoral poem, with tho innocence and careless pleasures of an unthinking age; and all this was heard in Mr?. Jones' interpretation. A lovely meloJie of Paderewski, the beautiful Wagner "Fire Charm,"' and a Moszkowski "Tarantella' finished the program. At i's close Mr-. Jones wa3 warmly recalled, but gave no encores; and many lingered to thank her fcr tho great pleasure of tho evening. Toccata and Fugue Bach-Tausi" Menuett Beethoven. a' Nocturne, op. 13.
