“Mr. John P. Morgan’s Euterpe Society [is?] relieving its more serious labors by a series of [music?] concerts at Association Hall, where, with some choruses, and popular selections for the orchestra, and a little miscellaneous music, it is replacing the miscellaneous entertainments which have been given at that place every Saturday during the season. The choruses are almost invariably excellent, and the orchestra, to which Mr. Anthony Reiff has been [illegible] as first violin and occasional leader, is fast retrieving [the?] discredit of its past performances. Last Saturday [they?] played some Strauss waltzes remarkably well. A. Richter made his appearance as a pianist, [illegible] ‘Polonaise Brillante’ of his own. It is a weak composition, and he is only an indifferent performer.”
