“The unpleasant weather yesterday had, of course, its effect on the attendance at the second Kellogg concert last evening. Nevertheless there were sufficient of the lieges in number and style to show that the young prima donna’s return is the event of the season. The programme last night was (so far as concerned Miss Kellogg) nearly the same as on Monday. The only novelty was the cavatina from ‘Lucia,’ [sic] ‘O, Luce di guest anima,’ which was sung brilliantly and encored. Miss Kellogg substituted a setting of ‘Beware!’ accompanying herself on the piano forte. Both pieces were given with the ease and spirit which the lady can so readily command. Miss Alide Topp played ‘La Campanella,’ by Liszt, and the two rhapsodies by the same composer which she gave on Monday. We prefer not to speak of the other artists. Signor Susini’s place in ‘Faust’ was filled by Signor Coletti.”

Well attended despite the weather.
