THE SACRED Music SocIETY.-The Oratorio Of
''The Messiah was, we believe, never so well
performed in this City. as by this Society on Mon
day evening. Indeed every preparation had been
made 10 ensure performance OF the first excel
lence in all respects. The chorus consisted Of
about tiro hundred and fty voices and the instru-
mental department OF about forty members. In ad-
dion ie this, the solo parts were contidedto Mad
anne Pico, Miss Nor,hal, and Messrs. Jones,
B.oush and Never The effect OF such powerful
chorus, aided by the Instrumentation, was sublime.
We have not space for crl,iqus on the perform
ance, but we must say tha! it will long be remcm-
bered BY those who heard IT, era In the hsto-
nv of the Sacred Music Society. Madame
PIco surprised all by the purity OF her pro-
nunciaiion OF the English words Of her part.
Her soprano was a powerful auxiliary 10 the
pleasure of the evening. Miss Northali pleased
us more than on any previous occasion. She gave
her music with much feeling, expression and good
taste She is most promising girl, but she must
omit in future TO bea. time with her finger while
singing MessrS Jones and Broush sang their nu-
sic respectfully, but there ere hall dozen members
of the Society who could have done as well. Mr..
Meyer has voice as flexible as a puInp-handle and
as musical as tsi-ho,n. His Opera practice has
net improved ii.


$500 or 5000 persons, and the Golfers Of The Society
viii probably receive some benefit, which has not
Of late been the case.
