WILSON, “Shoemaker for Tender Feet,”” 929 F St. IN MUSICAL, CIRCLES Ta —79 What theGeorgetown Or¢hestra is Prepar- - ing for Its Ci mw > 90 rary An Excellent Program 'Seing Rehears- ed by Director Bakemann—Choral Socicty’s Membership Increases. The forty-eighth concert of the George- town Orchestra, beginning the fifteenth season of that well-known organization, will be given on the evening of Friday, January 4, at Metzerott's Music Hall, and tor several weeks rehearsals have been steadily held under the direction of the efficient conductor, Mr. Herman C. Rake- mann. He selected several new and in- teresting compositions for the orchestra during his absence in Europe last sum- mer, and both the program and the per- formance at the ‘irst concert this winter promise to be better than ever. To the visitor at the weekly rehearsals it is at once apparent that the players have great- ly improved in precision and ensemble, and in the swing of their playing. This is es- pecially noticeable in the violins. The so- loists will be Mr. Jolin Porter Lawrence, who will play with the orchestra Liszt's Hungarian fantasie; and Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, who will sing the atina from Ernani, and Mascheaoni's “For All Eter- nity,” with violin obligato by Mr. Rake- mann, The new “May” overture, by Wight, will be performed for the’ first time in “America, from useript. The beautiful prelude to Bizet’s “Carmen,” the “Loreley" paraphrase, Gillet’s _“Passe- pied,” Lacome’s “Airs de Ballett,” and other fine compositions will form the first program. The second con- cert, later in the season, will have an equally meritoricus program. ‘This orches- tra has been so long established, and has had such a marked educational effect in Washington musica! affairs, that its eon- certs are locked forward to as a regular feature of the winter's entertainments. ‘rhe sale of subscription tickets is now in progress at gevott's, and a large num- ber of seats have already been taken. The membership of the Choral Socicty now numbers 348, and this number will doubtless be still further Increased before the close of the season. It is doubtful if the meinbership will be extended beyond 400, as, with the present stage arrange- ments, it would be difficult to seat com- fortably a greater nu;mber of singers. Im- mediately after the “Messiah” concert, which is set for Friday evening, Decembe 28, the society will begin its’ rehearsals of Gounod’s “The Redemption” and Saint Saens’ “Samson and Delilah,” to be given in March and April next. The emblem adopted by the society, in the form of a pin for the ladies and a button for the gentlemen, is of neat design and is being very generally worn by the members. The honorary members are also entitled to wear the emblem, and a number are doing so. Inquiries are being received by the business department of the society from outlying towns, seeking information as to rates for parties wishing to attend the “Messiah” concert. There were several parties from out of town in attendance at the “Messiah” last year, and it is expected that the number will be even greater this year. Social and musical circles of the city are much interested in the coming of the Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs from Cornell University om the 27th of this month. This is the first appearance of this organization in Washington, and the large number of alumpi are making efforts to insure a hearty weleome to the Cor- nellians. At present there are about forty Washington students at Cornell, all of whom expect to be here during the Christ- mas holidays. There are also nearly one hundred alumni in this city, who are en- thusiastic over this the) first appearance of the glee club. The concert promises to be one of the bright events of the season, and its success as a social function is al- ready assured by a: long list of lady patrons. t Inquiries are being made as to a repeti- tion of Prof. Harry,.Howard’s juvenile opera, “Jack the Giant Killer,” and it is not improbable that itemay be again given for the benefit of a well-known charitable institution. Its success was so pronounced that it could easily draw several audiences fully as large as that which witnessed its recent presentation at Albaugh’s. Mr. Anton Fischer, well known in musical circles here, sails next Tuesday, on the Trave, for Germany. He will spend the holidays with his mother and brother, in Frankfort. His brother, Carlo Fischer, is one of the most promising young pupils at the Conservatory and will play a solo at the Congervatory concert during Christmas week, Mr. Fischer will also visit Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig before returning home, some time in Februar It i understood that the rehearsals of the ¢ Dukes,” ‘The Baronet” and “Pe- three operas by the Harris brothers, ‘already commenced and are progress- . The first named has become to the public by the performances last year, but the last two works have never yet been produced. The music in both is said to be melodious and the book bright and witty.

Huntex, Spidell and W. H. Martin, brought forth great ap- plause. Mrs. George Weber's solo called forth an encore. ‘The entertainment was closed by the “Arion waltz," by the club. On last Friday evening Miss Katie V. Wilson and several of her pupils gave a concert at the opera house in Rockville. The “Cecilian Quartet” was assisted by Mrs. Wm. Wilson, Mrs. Gertrude Bangs- Burnes, Mr. Wm. Wilson and Mr. 4. Fisher. The vocal selections of Miss Katie Wilson, Mrs. Wm. Wilson, Miss Thompson and Miss Nye were well rendered, and the baritone songs by Mr, Fisher and Mr. Wilson showed careful study. The con- tralto song, “The New Kingdom,” by Tours, was effectively sung by Mrs. G. L. Bangs-Burnes. Miss Pillsbury, the first alto of the quartet, being ill, her place was ably filled by Mrs. Burnes, who learn- ed a parts of the quartet at a few hours’ notice. > Prof. Sheldo Juvenile Dance. Prof. Sheldon gave one of his attractive dances Friday evening The children were elegantly attired and rendered their solos, pas de deux and ensembles in most. ar- tistic style. Their ages*ranged from four to fourteen years. There ‘was first danced the “Cinderella Minuet,” hy. number of the courtiers and ladies of the court of Prince Felix, in the fairy spectacular play of “Cinderella, or the Good Fairy and the Little Glass Slipper,” ‘which will be pro- duced later in the season at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House by the professor’s ju- venile class. Next came the fairy ballet, from the same play, after which the fol- lowing fancy dances: La €achucha,by Edna Hurst; Smolenska, by Nellie Bennett; Pas de Danube, by Neilie Hunt; Pas de Zampa, by the tots, Emily Webster and Marie Parks; Cracovienne, , by Miss Evans; L’Ariel, by Nell ampbell; Parisian fling, by the class; skirt dance, by Sarah Rich- ardson and Alice Norris; La Bayadere, by Edna Hurst; Silvaine hornpipe, by_ the class: La Gitana, by Annie Evans; Irish jig, by the class. There was a large at- tendance of the parents and friends of the pupils. ————— Where is the Justification? ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Twice during the past week have the police indulged in shooting at an owl or two that were making war on the sparrows in their roost tree at Willard’s Hotel cor- Thursday night abcut twenty-five shots were fired; yet the owl was untouch- ed. It is beyond the comprehension of most people to understand what Justified such a disturbance of the peace and en- dangering of passers-by or persons in the neighboring windows, who might have been hit ‘with the deflected bullets. The police have enough to do besides hunting the kind of owls that wear feath- ers. Owls are the natural enemies of spar- rows; so the more owls we can get, the better. ca A LATE SPORTING NEWS Good Attendance on the Island. The bad weather had little effect on the attendance at the Alexander Island track Saturday, although the calling in of many of the complimentary badges caused not a few of the regulars to go down in their peckets for admission fees. The track was in any but a good condition, but it was safc and fairly fast. The talent had rather the better of the gentlemen on the stands, as two favorites and a scrongly hacked sec- ond choice secured brackets. The other two races were taken by outsiders. The winners were: Con Lucy, 2 to Finn- water, 2 to 5; Marguerite, 6 to Levina, 7 to 1, and His Grace, 8 to 1. New Orleans Races Begin. The winter meeting at New Orleans open- ed under brilliant auspices Saturday after- noon, The attendance was 4,000. The win- rers were Metropole, Miss Clark, Montre, Melody, Pearline and Darwin Wedswood. Ives Again Wins. Frank C. Ives, in his match at Chicago, defeated Jacob Schaefer by the score of 600 to 2,831. Saturday night's score for Ives was 600 to 456 for Schaefer. This gume, following the one at New York, in which Ives beat Schaefer 3,@#0 to 3,074, settles the premiership of the cue. Fournil Defents Gallagher. Edward Fournil of Paris defeated Thomas Gallagher, the Chicago champion, in the 1,000-point match at New York, which was concluded Saturday night. The game was cushion caroms. Saturday night Fournil ran 200 points to Gallagher's 112, making a total of 1,000 to S48. Fournil played 35 innings; Gal- lagher 34, making an average of 5 5-7 to Gallagher's 3 5-7. The Degradation of Athletics. Speaking on the subject of athletics, the Rev. Madison C. Peters said last night in his prelude: “I am an enthusiast for ath- letics. The gymnasium of today will pre- vent the dyspepsia of tomorrow. But I protest against smashing noses, breaking firgers and kicking souls out of men’s bodies in the name of athletics. ‘The gladi- atorial shows of Rome, the bull-fichts of Spain and our prize-fighters are refinement compared with the foot ball brutality of today.” Exhibition in the ©, A. C. Gym. The exhibition of athletics by the mem- bers of the Columbia Athletic Club Satu day evening was, in many respects, one of the best ever witnessed in Washington. ‘The best local indoor record for high leap had previously been fiv» feet nine inches, and was held by Royce Hough of the C. A. C, Saturday evening, in competition with McElhone, each cleared the bar at five feet ten inches, thereby establishing a new rec- ord, Both men will on Thursday after- rocn, when the club will give a ladies’ day, attempt to again break the record. The program opened with exercises on the German horse by Instructor Crossley. Then Messrs. Sewall, Ross and Allen gave a pretty exhibition on the horizontal bar: A ekillful fencing bout between the club’ fencing master, Prof. Darrilat, and Mr. Stone followed. Then the high leap record was broken by Hough and McEthone. ‘Two clever juniors, Frank Waters and Charlie Griffith, with the instructor, gave a skill- ful exhibition cf acrobatics next, and then came the best wrestling match given in the club iu many a day, with Messrs. Lee and Schafhirt@s the contestants; after a fiv minute struggle the event was declared a draw, reither having secured a fall. Work on the flying rings by Watts, Ross, Hol- brook and Crossley succeeded; then spring- board tumbling by the class, Allen downed Strattcn in each of two wrestling bouts, and the evening's entertainment closed with several clever sparring exhibitions by members ef the club. For the High School Championship. The deciding game for the High School foot ball championship will be played at National Park Wednesday afternoon be- tween the Central and Business teams. There is universal interest among the ju- nior foot ball teams and their members in regard to this city. It is promised that it will be a cleanly played, gentlemanly game. Winners at St. Asaph’s.

The boats of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company were both delayed in arrival and departure at this city. The boat due to leave for Nor- folk on Saturday evening did not leave un- til late Sunday morning, and the boat due here from Norfolk yesterday morning early did not arrive until late in the after- noon. The Potomac, from Baltimore, due early Sunday morning, did not arrive until last night. It was with difficulty that the ferry boats between this city and Wash- ington could make their way during a greater part of the day yesterday. The river was alive with fog horns and other warning signals all nigut Saturday and a large part of Sunday. A Quiet Sunday. Yesterday was a particularly quiet Sun- day in this city. Owing to the gloomy weather prevailing throughout the day there were not many people on the streets and the congregations in the various churches were not as large as usual. In all the churches the resident rectors offi- ciated. In the Protestant Episcopal church- es interesting sermons on the second com- ing of Christ were preached. At Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church last night Dr. D. H. Mann, supreme templar of the In- ternational Supreme Lodge of the World, who is considered one of the most elo- quent lecturers in America, delivered a brilliant temperance lecture. The Good ‘Templar lodges of t city were present in a body, and the church was filled with interested listeners. There were no ar- rests made by the police during the day. Theologien! Seminary. Through the gift of George A. Reinicker of Baltimore a lectureship to be known by his name has been founded at the Epis- copal Theological Seminary, near this city. The course is to consist of eight lectures every session. The lecturers are to be chosen by the faculty and they may be of the clergy or laity, at home or abroad, in or out of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Right Rev. A. M. Randolph, bishop of southern Virginia, is expected to deliver the first of this year’s series in Whittle Hall at the seminary on the after- noon of January 22, 1895. Rev. J, S. Wallace of Alameda, Cal., was ordained at the seminary in 1855, recently giver $2,000 to the institution as an endowment, to be used as an incentive to extemporaneous preaching. The amount is to be invested and the income to be used for the purpose of awarding a prize to the best extemporaneous preacher in the senior class each session. Notes. The collections in the various churches yesterday for the benefit of the Alexandria Infirmary were quite large and a snug sum realized. B. W. Nalls has been appointed store- keeper of the Southern Railway Company in this city.

The December term of the corporation court, Judge J. K. M. Norton presiding, convened this morning. The docket was called and the various cases set for trial. Henry Howard, a Fairfax county farmer, raised quite a good deal of disturbance while in a dranken condition at Ahern's store on Saturday night. He was arrested by Officer Smith. Seme of the female tenants in the old City Hotel building got into a row yes- terday afternoon, but no damage was done.
