PROFESSOR MERCK'S CONCERT.
ཡ་ The attendance at the concert given by Professor Merck at the Theatre Royal on Satur day night, does not speak well for the musical appreciativeness at Höngkongs. Those who did attend, however, had a rare irent. The pro- gramme was selected with excellent teste and -fforded the protestor full scope for the display of his mastery over the collo. The instrument Itself is a homely looking affair, bar in the hands of an artist like Merck is capable of a wealth of feeling and expression that fi sur. „prising, and its richness of tone is remarkable. *The first item was an adagio and allegro (V. Herbert) in which Mr. G. P. Lammart accom. panted the professor in effident manner. The selection wis played admirably and það * beauty ception. Mrs. Jewell then contributed two songs, Bisch
