"MAINE" and RED CROSS CONCERT

As a result of the concert tendered by some of the singers of the Maurice Grau Opera Company last evening at the Metropolitan Opera house for the benefit of the American hospital ship "Maine" and the American and British Red Cross Societies about $12,000 was added to the fund. The house was decorated with the American and British national emblems, and the Red Cross flag, interspersed with evergreens and American Beauty roses. The stage was set with the forest scene from 'Falstaff."

The house was crowded almost to its capacity. Meyerbeer's overture "Dinorah" was given by the orchestra and chorus under the direction of Sig. Mancinelli, Sig. Campanari sang Donizetti's "Barcarolle," Mlle. Calv? and Mme. Clementine De Vere were heard in Mendelssohn's "Le Z?phir" and "Jota De Los Tereros," Mme. Nordica, assisted by the chorus, gave Rossini's "Inflammatus," from the "Stabat Mater"' Mme. Emma Eames sang Verdi's aria "Sicilian Vespers," and Mlle. Zelie De Lussan and Sig. Scotti sang the duet "La Ci Darem' from "Don Giovanni." Edouard De Reszke sang Tchaikovsky's "La Serenade de Don Juan." Mme. Suzanne Adams was heard in her husband's composition, "Printemps;" Mme. Eames and M. Plan?on sang the duet "Le Crucifix," by Faure, and Miss Marie Brema sang several old Irish melodies. The entire audience then arose, while Mme. Nordica, assisted by the chorus, first sang "The Star Spangled Banner," followed by "God Save the Queen."
