“IRVING HALL.—Mrs. Mina Geary Fitzpatrick gave a concert at this hall last night, which was respectably attended. [List of performers.] The concert was a thoroughly popular one, and the programme was innocent of anything in the line of classical music, as the expression is used, but nevertheless interesting in its way. At all events it deserved a better house and gave satisfaction to all present, for the applause and encores were enthusiastic if not vociferous.”
