The little man that has frequently made three-baggers on the home grounds failed yesterday to help the Washingtons out at two critical stages of the game, and Pitts- burg won, after an exciting finish, by the score of 6 to 5. This man was Selbach. He had already made a pret*y single, but the tension was too grect for so young & Player, and when he struck out in the eighth and ninth innings two men were on bases, and a hit would have won the game. The Senators got thirteen hits to the smoky city lads’ ten, but they had five | errors, while the latter had but one. Ehret pitched a fine game up until the eighth inning, and when two were out Cartwright started the fun with a triple. McGuire followed with a single, and Abbey did likewise. With two on bases Selbach fanned the air. In the ninth inning Rad- ford started the fun after Tebeau had been en easy out. Pitcher Sullivan looked easy to Ehret, but he pushed his weight with the bat and a home run resulted. Then Ward kept up the good work with a single; Hasa- macar was sent to first on balls, and Cart- wright scored Ward with a solid single. McGuire scored “Wild Bili” with a single. With Cartwright on second and McGuire on first Abbey flew out to the infield, and all depended on Seltach. But his eye was | bad and again he fanned the air.and Pitts- burg won the game by the closest of mar- ins. | Considering the fact that Pittsburg is | Playing at home, and their playing abil- ities, the Wasbingtons have done well there, and Mike Sullivan pitched a good | game.

Won yesterday's game from Har- vard;by the score of 2 to 0. Both nines put up, excellent ball, and it was anybody's game till the last man was out. Fully 6.000 spectators were present, including several hundred Yale alumni, headed by two brass bands. Yale scored in the fourth inning on a sin- gle.by Carter, a passed ball and a timely hit .by Stephenson for two bases. Another Fun: was made by Yale in the fifth on a threenoase hit by Greenway and an error by Highlands, who threw wildly to third te catch, Greenway, the latter coming home on the play. The feature of the game was the battery work of Yale. Base Ball Notes. Treasurer Von cer Horst of Baltimore paid a visit to Washington yesterday, and was the guest of President Young. He was accompanied by his two daughters. Manager Irwin ts having the same iIl- luck that Manager Harry Wright had last year, and he does not have his team as high as Wright had it. Pitcher John Taylor of the Philadelphia eludy who was overcome by the heat last Saturday, was sufficiently recovered to go home yesterday afternoon. Treasurer Von der Horst yesterday re- ceived a telegram from President Von der Ahe asking about the Gleason deal. The reply was that Gleason's brother had tel- egraphed from Camden, N. J., that his brother was at Atlantic City. Treasurer Von der Horst will not give up until Glea- son’ reports. Brooklyn's game at Cleveland yesterday was stopped by rain at the end of the sec. ond inning. Cleveland had made six runs and Brooklyn but one. Breitenstein has expressed a willingness to pitch regularly alternating games for St. Louts. LOCAL FIGHTERS AT BALTIMORE. Boxing Tournament Given by the Pastime Athletic Association. A boxing tournament, under the auspices of the Pastime Athletic Association of this city, began last night at the Monumental Theater, Baltimore. Last evening’s show wound up with an exciting incident. All the bouts but the last were between colored men, the final contest being between Jack Dougherty of Ohio and Sol. English of Baltimore. The fight was declared in Dougherty’s favor, but English addressed the audience, declaring that his opponent was unfair. It was understood, he said, | that the bout was to be a friendly one, but he claimed Dougherty purposely worsted him. The audience took sides with En- glish. Manager Cartwright of the Pastime As- sociation endeavored to make a statement, but he was hissed from the stage. ‘Ihe Police, anticipating trouble, called English of the stage, and the curtain was rung down. The first bout was between George Banks and Alexander Brown, both colored, of Washington. They were of the 115-pound class. It was a good set-to, and was de- clared a draw. The second bout, of the 117- pound class, was between Chas. W: ton and Irving Crosby, colored, both ington men. Washington won. Harry Howard, middleweight, of the Pastime As- | Sociation, and Richard Philips, heavy- | Weight, of the same association, next faced each other. The contest was declared a | draw. Bill Collins and Jack Robinson, of | the 115-pound class, were the next contest- | ants, Collins winning. Robinson was | knocked out In the second round. Paul | Johnson, “The Kangaroo,” of Baltimore, | won the next bout with George Brown, who gave up in the second round. The’ next fight was between Joe Gans and Buck | Wilkie, the former winning. | Jack Jenkins then had a bout with Bob Reed. Reed was knocked down five times | in the second round, and Jenkins was de- | clared the winner. | James E. Hoadley, president of the Pas- time Athletic Association, was referee. HARVARD ys. YALE. The University Boat Race Will Be Rowed Tomorrow Evenin: | The race between the university crews | representing Yale and Harvard | rowed on the Thames river from a point will be just above the headquarters of the Harvard crew to the big bridge which spans the river a short distance above the city of New London, tomorrow evening, at 6:45 o'clock. This time was settled upon yesterday by the representatives of both crews in con- ference, and Herman Oelrich of New York is the referee agreed upon by the same gentiemen. Alfred Cowles of Chicago will be the Yale judge, and George Adee will be the Yale timekeeper. For Harvard, a gen- tleman has been asked to serve as referee, and his answer had not been received early last evening, but, in case he refuses to ac- cept the office, another man will be chosen tomorrow evening. Nelson Perkins or Coach Keyes will take the time for the Harvard men. JOHNSON IN 1.56. The Flyer Makes n New Flying Start Mile Record. Before a crowd of about 500 invited guests John 8. Johnson, the flying cyclist, rode a mile from a flying start, at Waltham, Mass., yesterday afternoon, in 1 minute 56 seconds, the fastest time on record. The day was perfect for the effort to lower the record, and Johnson was in prime condition. Had his pacemakers, however, been equal to the emergency, it is believed that he would have done the mile in at least a second better time. The first part of the race Johnson was by the Murphy brothers in tandem. ie made the quarter in 28 2-5 seconds. This is nearly four seconds slower than his own record for a quarter. On the far turn Johnson was taken up by Cutter and Cal- laghan for the ride home. It was a bad pick-up. When they came into the stretch Johnson fc ahead and from this tine gained a under the wire fully fifteen yards ahead of his pacemakers. The time for the half and three-quarters by some oversight was not taken. The record, Lgl to yesterday, was 1.56 4-5, made by ‘indie at Springfield, October 11, 1893. This performance, however, was in private and was never given as an authoritative record. THE TURF. The track at Alexander Island yesterday was heavy.

Inauguration of the Strike at Chicago Last Night. ‘The threatened strike to enforce the boy- cott of Puliman cars was inaugurated at ¥ o'clock last night, at Chicago, when the American Hallway Union ordered the! illinois Central men out. The switchmen were the first to obey and quickly walked out, they tying up the suburban, as well as express train service. The ¥ o'clock train | for St. Louls was allowed to pull out, as it) was made up in the morning before the| boycott went into effect; but that train, the| men asserted, was the last that would be| allowed to leave until the Pullman strike is settled. ‘I'he union men were quiet and orderly, but apparently determined to a man} to maintain the boycott. The strike, it was | asserted by an officer, would extend to five cther roads, the Chicago, St. Paul and Kan- sas City, Wisconsin Central, Northern Pa- cific, Southern Pacitic and the Santa Fe. ‘Two of the trains of the Illinois Central | were made up at the depot, south of the| city, and were run out by a Central em-| ploye, who, under police protection, manipu- lated the switches. A crowd of 2,WW0 strikers | and their friends gathered about the station | and an extra detail of police was called to protect the switchman. No attempt wa made to run suburban trains, and hundred: of suburbanites were compelled to resort to street cars and cabs to reach their homes. | A large meeting was held last night, at which {t was decided that the Switchmen, | Car Inspectors and Brakemen's Union| should announce to their employers today that no more Pullman cars would be han-| dled until the boycott is declared off. The| Central strikers’ order is not to interfere | with mail trains, but confine their attention to passenger and freight service. Michigan Central and Lake Shore trains were allowed to pass Grand Crossing, but | none carried Pullman cars. The crowd at | Grand Crossing became violent in its threats against the man who raised the blockade and @ large additional force of policemen was called to quell the threatened riot. As one of the trains pulled out a strfker dashed past the police and threw himself in front of the engine. The train was brought to a standstill, and the man went back to the crowd amid deafening cheers. ‘THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. REPUBLICANS AT DENVER President Tracy Addresses the National League. His Arraignment of the Democracy— Senator Camero: Attitude on Silver Stated in a Letter. In the Republican National League con- vention at Denver yesterday, after the ad- dress of Mr. Goudy, president of the Re- Publican League of Colorado, a brand new campaign song was sung with fine effect by the Nebraska Glee Club, and President William H. Tracy delivered his annual ud- dress. He said: “Gentlemen of the convention: The Na- tional Republican League, representing, as it does, the activity and youth ofthe repub- lican party, ever seeking new fields and new associations, turns for its annual meet- ing to the young and vigorous west, the child of the Union. “As the volunteer army of the republican party we encamp here on the slopes of the Rocky mountains, hoping to draw new in- spirations from the noble grandeur of their peaks, and renewed life from the invigorat- ing air of their valleys. “To insure victory we must prepare to meet organization with organization. It is through the 10,000 clubs which form the National Republican League that this or- ganization can best be carried on. The league has no desire to assume control of party machinery, or attempt in any way to interefere with any regular committee in- trusted with campaign management. It seeks, however, through its clubs, to make more popular to all citizens that interest in politics which is so necessary to insure good government and to bring closer to the citizens the opportunity to participate in political affairs, and assume the responsi- bility, the labor and the glory of political service and success. “As the National Republican League is the volunteer army of the republican party, so may these annual conventions become the clearing house of the party, open to new thoughts and ideas. Some good can- not fail to come out of such discussions, and, in the end, redound to the benefit of the nation.” Regarding the work accomplished by the democratic party since its accession to power, the speaker said: “The possible passage of the Wilson bill is all the democratic party has to show for its year and a half of administration. , What an ignoble end to all the glowing prophecies of democratic leaders! “For thirty years they have been asking the American people to intrust them with the affairs of government. For thirty ye: they have been holding out golden promi of reforms in legislation, which were to be the foundation of wealth and happiness for all. During all these years, through the! glittering generalities expounded in their platforms, they have been drawing to themselves voters from the ranks of the peopie, and vast numbers of young men of | the country, under the influence of free) trade college professors, those dreamers and visionaries who would bridge the «pace | of centuries with their beautiful theories | of commerce, have been led to support the democratic ticket. These young men have learned the needed lesson of the practical | effect of false theories. The Wubble has/ burst, and a just indignation of the people | at the unfulfilled promises of the democratic platforms will soon drite the democratic | party from power. “The republican party stands today,as it) has always stood,for those principles which | develop and promote American industries and at the same time offer protection to} American labor. There should be no argu- ment necessary to demonstrate to the American people that so jong as tneir farms and factories are taxed to assist In caring for the expenses of government, just so long must the foreign farmer and manu- facturer pay a tax on the products which he brings into this country. “There are other questions than the tariff, however, which will need the attention of the republican party. Equally important with it for the welfare of our country is the consideration of the future of our na- tional currency. There has been much mis- representation as to the attitude of the republican party on this question. The re- publican party is not for gold alone, but for both gold and silver. They are for the maintenance of the parity of gold and| silver money, and are in favor of such leg- islation as will keep the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether of gold or silver, at all times equal. The ques- tion as to how this can be best brought about is the matter at issue. Silver is to- day, and always hi been, the money of the people, and its future can be safely in-| trusted to the protecting care of the re- publican party. “There are other questions which should have the consideration of our party. One, the reclamation of our arid lands through irrigation; the other, the re-establishment of our merchant marine. “St is the consideration of such questions as these which holds the attention of the statesmen of today. It is such principies that you are to inherit, and for which you are responsible, and they need only intel- lgent consideration to carry them on to a Proper solution. “The leaders who have so long and s0 successfully fought the battle of the re- Publican party must soon give place to younger men; let us prepare to assume the responsibilities of leadership while we may yet have their counsel and advice.” Carnot’s Ansa Before adjournment a motion was adopted that the president and secretary be author- ized to prepare and transmit to Mme. Car- not and the republic of France the sense of the league on the assassination of President Carnot. The motion was carried without a dissenting vote. A resolution was adopted that the chair- man of each delegation prepare a list of names for each of the committees, and a mass meeting was held last night, at which addresses were made by Gen. D. H. Hast- ings of Pennsylvania, John M. Thurston, A. B. Cummings of Georgia, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Iowa, Senator Fred F. Dubois of Idaho and Gen. Cyrus Bussy of New York. The venerable Henry 8. Blackwell of Massachusetts offered this resolution, which was sent to the committee: “We again recommend to the favorable consideration of the republican clubs of the United States as a matter of education the question of granting to the women of the state and nation the rignt to vote at all elections on the same terms and conditiors as male citizens. We congratulate the w men of Colorado and Wyoming on their possession of the elective franchise, and we cordially invite their co-operation in res- cuing the country from democratic and populist misrule.”” Senator Cameron's Lett: A letter was read from Senator Cameron to Secretary A. B. Humphrey, in response to an invitation to be present at the con- vention. Senator Cameron, after dweliing on the troubled condition of Europe and America, says: “Everyone admits that the world stands on the edge of revolution—social and po- litical; but everyone shrinks from it. To those of us who have had chiefly in mind the struggle between silver and gold, that is the question which, for the moment, presses hardest. The single gold standord seems to us to be working ruin with vio- lence that nothing can stand. If its influ- ence Is to continue for the future at the rate of its action during the twenty years since the gold standard took possession of the world, some generation, not very re- mote, will see in the broad continent of America only a half a dozen overgrown citles keeping guard over a mass of cap- ital, and lending it out to a population of dependent laborers on the mortgage of their growing crops and unfinished handi- work. Such sights have been common enough in the world’s history; but against it we all rebel. “At least we can be sure that no one js deliberately conspiring against our safety. Even on the burning ground of silver and gold we agree in principle. No party and no party leader has ever approved of the single gold standard. Not one American in a@ hundred believes in it. We are more uranimous in hostility to it than we are on any other question in politics. A vast ma- jority in all parties agree that the singie gold standard has been, is, and will be a national disaster of the worst kind. Nine- tenths of mankind are hostile fo the single gold standard. Our 70,000,000 people are unanimous against it. Most of the great European nations and their governments dislike it. South America rejects it. The whole of Asia knows only silver, and India, which contains five-sixths of all the sub- jects of the British crown, is as hostile to it as ourselves. it the bankers of London have said that we must submit, and we have submitted. England and the Gold Standard. “So strange a spectacle has never been seen in our history. England holds us to the single gold standard, by the force of her capital alone, more despotically than she could hold us to her empire in 1776. The most instructive point of all is that our great majority consists of the interests in the world which have been from time im- memorial reckoned as the safest and most conservative. “The whole agricultural class; the whole class or classes of small proprietors; the farmers that make the bulk and sinew of our race; the artisan whose interests are bound up in the success of our manufac- tures; all these join hands with what is left of thefr old enemies, the landed aris- tocracy of Europe, to protest against a revolution made for the benefit of money lenders alone. The whole conservative force of the world protests against so vio- lent and despotic a change. We want real money—coin—carrying intrinsic value, yet if England succeeds in her obstinate effort to destroy the value of silver for coinage, nothing can save us from paper. re- publican party must either fix the single standard on the nation, or reject it. This time we can no longer escape the issue, and whatever we do must be done openly. “You have only to adopt a platform of four words, and to take your stand on it firmly, courageously, with honest deter- mination to be true to it. The party has always maintained the principle of a high tariff. You, whose deepest and best inter- ests depend upon its success, have alone the Power to add free silver.” Citize: Who Protest. Against Aban- doning the Pumps. The closing of wells and pumps of the city on account of the adverse reports made by @ committee of the Medical Society and other authorities, attributing to these pumps a large part of the responsibility for the large death rate from typhoid fever, has called out vigorous protests from citizens, who defend the pumps and object to their removal because they afford water and comfort to those who are deprived of the conveniences of Potomac water. “If, on proper thorough investigation by competent authorities,” writes F. G. A., one of the protesting citizens, to The Star, “tt is proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the water of the public wells is really contaminated by the sewers, then the right course to pursue, I take it, would be to call in the sewer doctors to repair and restore to health, strength and active service these same sickly sewers, so that they perform their natural functions of carrying away their filth thoroughly and effectively, but not to charge the pure water, as it comes direct from nature’s laboratory, with being the cause of sickness, for it is not the truth. It is the height of wick- edness and the lowest depth of super-refined human cruelty to deprive the poor, especial- ly during this hot weather, of pure, free, cool drinking water. The poor cannot afford to buy ice all the time, and even if they could, ice water, especially if made from ace river, is unfit for human nk. “What is the matter with the W. C. T.U.? It almost seems as if that august body of water and five o'clock tea drinkers were backing up the liquor dealers and beer brewers by keeping silence on the public pump question. The thirsty—and, oh, how thirsty we are this weather—must have drink. And the question ts will the au- thorities leave us our free, pure, cool drink- | ing water to slake our thirsts with or will they drive us one and all into the saloons for drink? “I beseech the authorities to open again all the public wells and springs, thoroughly cleanse and repair them, sink new ones (and artesian weils at that) and cut off the source of contamination by repairing de- fective sewers. Then the poor will rise up and bless them one and all.” Another citizen, who says he has the tes- timony of no less than seven medical men that the diseases referred to are not to be attributed to the pumps, but to Potomac Water, Writes: “The whole secret of the impurities founé in spring water from the pumps is that the pumps have never been attended to nor the wells cleaned out. After having been in the ground for many years, probably twen- ty-five or fifty years, the pumps rot, the wells become foul and dirty, and the stocks below rotten. When analyzing the water, of course impurities are found tn it. Had the pumps been taken up, the wells cleaned out and new stocks put on and the pumps then replaced, there would not be found any impurities or contaminaiion of the spring water from the pumps. In The Evening Star of August 17, 1893, a | certain learned professor, in a published re- port on the water question, says: “It ts Enposstble to fix standards of purity beyond which, in amount, the presence of any sub- stance shall condemn any water. For every locality stantards of purity must be estab- lished by a study of the waters from that locality, and in analysis such standard must be taken into consideration in connection with a study of the surroundings or source of the water, ratural drainage, levels, proximity of priv- fes, sewers and the like, previous or old contamination of the soil,” ete. Now, as to the surroundings and source of the Potomac water, it is known that it is a dumping place for several towns situat- ed further up and along the banks of the Potomac, Harper's Ferry, Cumberland, Point of Rocks and several others. It is a receptacle not only for that sort of im- purities, but also for the surface water from the barks of the Potomac, and the wash- ings from the tanneries. Some years ago, having drawn a glass of Potomac water for a drink, I discovered in it a thing hav- ing the movements and contortions of a stake of a dark color, and about an inch and a half in length. Tt was a young water snake. Certain members of the medical profession have pronounced the muddy Po- tcmac water as not unhealthy or dangerous. Such assertions have been made in direct contradiction of the known truth that it produces kidney and liver affections, and the disease known as gravel, or stone for- the interpretation of an | mation in the human system. DR. REYBURN’S PLAN. To Ran a Coil of Pipe Through the Wells, Dr. Robert Reyburn appeared before the Commisisoners this morning and presented an idea which, if followed, will, he thinks, solve the well problem. He commenced by stating that the wells should be closed, but not filled. The great argument had been that the poorer classes would be compelled to use warm Potomac water when the wells were closed and would, consequently, suf- fer. His plan was to take a coil of pipe, say 200 feet long, and connect it with the Po- tomac water hydrant and the well. The coil of pipe would be in the well, and the water, coursing through it, would be kept constantly cool. The plan had been tried in Baltimore, he said, and was successful. See aay Improving the Harbors. The Senate committee on commerce is considering appropriations for the improve- ment of New York harbor. There is a pros- pect that the provisions of the House bill will be so changed as to provide for the in- auguration of important improvements in Gowanus bay and Bay Ridge channels and that a survey of the tributary channels will be authorized. The plans of the advocates of this improvement contemplate the deep- ening of these channels to twenty-six feet for a width of 1,000 feet, the present width being 400 feet. It is estimated that these improvements will cost about $400,000 in the aggregate, but It is not contemplated that all the improvements shall be made in one year. The appropriation will, therefore, pe made continuous. The committee has also virtually decided upon increases in the ap- propriations for the Ranton and Passaic rivers. An increase was also decided upon for Norfolk harbor, without agreeing upon the amount. The same is true of Cumber- land sound, Ga., and of Key West, Berna- dino and Charlotte harbors and Apallachi- cola river th Florida and Delaware river in Pennsylvania. The provision of the House bill regarding the improvement of the Ten- nessee river will be 8o altered as to desig- nate the uses to which the $100,000 appropri- ated for that stream shall be put. a New Guntemalan Seaport. ‘The bureau of the American republics has advices that the new port of Barrios, on the Atlantic coast of Guatemala, has been de- cla: g open for traffic.

All registered mail, how- ever, specially addressed via Tacama,Wash., is excepted from this mail. IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. “T cannot conceive how any one who has the interests of this beautiful city at heart can feel unconcerned over the possibility of seeing overhead trolley street car lines introduced here,” said J. Edward Willis of Brooklyn at the Riggs House this morning. “If the people here only knew what a real Incubus such a system becomes when it is fastened on a community they would rise up en masse and show Congress such an overwhelming sentiment against it that even the national legislature would be com- pelled to take proper notice of it. I know that @ great many persons imagine that the overhead trolley can be made comparatively safe by the adoption of ordinances and regulations for the government of the cor- ae owning the line, but in my city it has been proven that municipal laws “One of the most bitter contests being waged in the constitutional convention at Albany,” said Philip E. Hengerer of Buf- falo at the Ebbitt yesterday, “is that against the proposed amendment which would prohibit the appropriation cf public money for the support of charitable ineti- | tutions that are: managed by religious de- nominations. The amendment is only another straw to show which way the wind of public sentiment is blowing as regards the question of the church and atate. There is a strong feeling already, and it is grow- ore vigorous every day, so the friends of the suggested reform claim, that sec- tarian institutions of an eleemosynary cher- acter should not be assisted out of the pub- lic taxes. They assett that in almost every community there are two or three institu- tions doing work which might be done by one if religious prejudices were >emoved. lt has often struck me as singular that it is considefed necessary to send @ pauper who meets’ with an accident to @ hospital conducted by persons of his own religious faith. I never could see the connection be- tween a creed and the cutting off of a leg. I don’t think religion should be recogaized in tals and asylums any more than in the public @chools; at least not in those which recelve support from the state di- rect, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that amendment adopted at Albany in spite of the fight against it.” “A strange thing happened to me when I was trout fishing last year up in northern New York,” said Andrew Bishop of Bridge- port, Conn., at the Arlington this morn- ing. “The fish were very wary, as the stream was narrow and the pools were but lightly bordered with bushes, or caver of any kind) Consequently when I would reach a promising-looking spot, 1 would get as far from the bank as possible, and at the same time be able to drop my fly over in the water. I hed followed this plan with poor success,getting only one or two strikes in as many hours, when suddenly my line “A man named Robert Pikey, but who was better known in criminal annals as ‘Fiddler Bob,’ died out in San Quentin Prison, California, three or four weeks ago,” said Henry Robinson of the secret service at Willard’s this morning. “He was sent up from San Francisco for five years in 1891 for counterfeiting. He was quite a char- acter on the slope, after the war, especial- ly in the mining districts, where he used to play the violin in the dance halls and saloons. He had been a soldier in the war and was Vy my in the Shenandoah cam- money accumulated so that over is waiting for his heirs if they can ever be found. ‘Fiddler Bob’ was not the only convict who drew «= pension by Several years ago pretty nearly every peni- tentiary in the country contained a Jot of who were regularly on Uncle veterans, | Sam's gratitude pay roll, and I remember whose real & fellow name was Lowndes, who had his pension allowed while he was serving a term in Joliet for . He had lost a leg early in the war, but never applied for @ pension until the law was giv disabled soldiers a pension k to the they were injured. Lown- des applied for one just before he got into trouble by breaking into a clothing store one cold night when he was drunk, in order to get an overcoat. The pension was al- jowed and when he was released from Joliet there was a bundle of long green amounting to over seventy-five hundred dollars await- ing him. The fact is that many pensioners who have been sent up for long terms have been glad of it when they finally got out, because their money had accumulated in the hands of the prison authorities so that they found themselves the possessors of pretty large sums.” —_——_— AN ENJOYABLE MUSICALE. The Pupils of Mr. Geo. W. Lawrence Interpret am Attractive Program. The seventh musicale by Mr. George W. Lawrence and pupils, assisted by Daisy Louise Fox, pianist, was given last night at Universalist Church. It was a very pleasant affair and was enjoyed by a large audience of friends, with a fair sprinkling of those who attended exclusively for the sake of the music. There was an absence of stiff formality about this musicale which added to the charm of the many excellent numbers. were liberally bestowed upon the entertainers and several encores were demanded and responded to. The pro- gram opened with Spofforth's chorus, “Hail, Smiling Morn,” which went with spirit and commendable grace. Messrs. Lawrence and R. E. McWhitney rendered Campana’ “Tel Rammenti,” and Daisy Louise Fox played the spinning song from the Flying Dutchman. Mr. Howard Boyden sang the “Warrior's Song,” by Ryder, in good form. Miss Agnes Toomey told the story of “The Lover and the Bird,” in song, as written by Guglicimo, and the Elmore sisters earned @ recall by singing Bargiel’s “Springtide. ” from Faust, by Miss Blanche Fifield, concluded part one of the program.
