A great drill lias bean snid nnd written about the mandolin having been received with open arms by the ‘beit society.* Ah n mutter of fact, there him never toon such n craze as ha° been represented, though n grout ninny houses have been carried away by these reports ami have invested in stocks which are roully dead oti their hands just at present. But the handurriii—woll, n» 1 said, it is the coming musical instrument, in mv opinion. Whit Is the baudurrla? li is something a great deal like the mandolin, anti is essentially of punish origin. Here in the only one we Lave in stock just now,” and nu instrument was handed over for the reporter’s inspection.“As I said, this is the only instrument of the kind we have in stock, and during the summer months we dou’t expect that It will grow in favor or make itB acquaintance to any great extent among the people; but when the pleasure seekers come back to the city from the mountains, lakes and seasides, then look out for a hsiidurrin loom. If the daughter of your iiexl door neighbor takes to the craze you can rest assured that for » time you *ill wish that a concert of cats-wmild tel up in opposition to her efforts-in order to drown the discord; hut when her fair lingers have fairly mustered the intricacies of the bnmlurriu’s mu»j strings, and are equal to the task at evolving ‘all the lulest and moat popular aim uf tlie day,’ iu the language uf the .-ireet fakir, then, indeed, will ‘the night be tilled with music' Tor you. The bnnjo, thtt zither, the guitar, the manduliu ami all other musical instrument which have delighted humanity whenthrummed by skilled hands can’t hold a candle, if L may be allowed to ;ue the free-and-easy language of the wild west, to the bnndurria.“Where is the bundurria most popular iu this country? In tian Francisco it has recently developed as a fashionable fad and lias literally swept society off its feet, it has made such a charming impression. Why, oil© of the San Francisco delegates now in this city attending the national convention informs me that a few weeks ago at a testimonial concert given by tho Bandurria club of that city, comjmaed of the best young men of that pluce, the rendition of the 'Mieere' from ‘Trovatore’ was 00 exquisitely done on Imodurrias and guitars that there was scarcely a dry eye in the audience at the conclusion. The bindurrla,” this gentleman added, “seems to especially lend itself to Spanish compositions, and the addition of the guitar mutes a delightful shadinp, and 11 was with difficulty that the audience was satisfied, even after the players had responded to frequent encores. This particular concert,” lie added, “in which tlio participants were all society people,was further marked by the first public appearance of u Indy formerly of Chicago, whose voice, a sympathetic mezzo-soprano, completely charmed the audience and won repeated encores and showers of Uower*.”Ilib Introduction to Venice.
