“On entering Steinway Hall last night and inquiring from a Hibernian friend how the house stood, we were politely informed that it was ‘immense, considerin’ the horse disease.’ The two artists, who have produced such a beneficial effect on music in this city, played some of their very best selections. The fatigue consequent on travelling which was perceptible in their playing on Thursday night disappeared last evening. Rubinstein played a number of his best pieces, and Wieniawski distinguished himself again in some of those delightful violin selections which have placed him above all other artists who have visited this country. Mlles. Liebhart and Ormeny both sung some very pretty songs.”
