The Beethoven Quartet Society held its last meeting of the

season on. Monday evening, at the Beethoven Rooms in Harley Street. There was a fine selection of masterpieces, not only of Beethoven but of Haydn and Mozart; the works of Beethoven being now associated, at these meetings, with those of his great predecessors and models (so long as he had models) in this branch of composition. The performers were Joachim, Sainton, Hill, and Rousselot. Since the lamented death of Mr. Alsager, to whose enlightened enthusiasm we owe the formation of this Society, its manage- ment has been committed to the hands of M. Rousselot: he has performed his duties with equal judgment and success; the Society having continued, under his administration, to rise in magnitude and influence.
