“The concert at the Grand Opera House last evening was not as largely attended as on the preceding Sunday, although the attractions were in no wise inferior. Gilmore’s band, the best military organization of the kind we have in this country, played [see above]. The soloists were [see above]. A chorus from the German Opera also appeared in the finales to the third acts of ‘Martha’ and ‘Ernani.’ Miss Brush won considerable applause for her very artistic rendering of the air des Bijoux, from ‘Faust.’ She is a young artist of great promise, and possesses a voice of rare sweetness and tone.”
