IN MUSICAL CIRCLES The Choral Society Working on Saint Saens’ “Samson and Delilah.” This Will Be Given in Allen’s Grand Opera Housc—Interest in Banjo and Mandolin Music, The next concert of the Choral Society will be given at Allen’s Grand Opera House the last of this month. The oratorio to be presented will be Saint Saens’ “Samson and Delilah,” which has exgited the great- est interest wherever it has been sung. The society hoped to give this oratorio last Season, but was unable to secure an ade- qvate orchestra at the date fixed for the performance. This Is one of the greatest compositions of modern times, and requires an orchestra not only of unusual size, but ccntaining many unusual instruments. It vas presented last year in New York by the Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau Company, both as an opera, with all the accompaniments of scenery, properties and costumes, and also #8 an oratorio, on a Sunday night, where the nobleness of the work stood out in all its grandeur, without any adventitious aid. At these formances the resources of the splendid orchestra, under Manchinelli, were rod ge and the ene Posies, feel hai ut proper orchestral accompani- zoent “Samson and Delilah” would be a failure. r The vocal part of the work will be in competent hands, for the society has had considerable practice both last season and ‘this upon the choruses, and these may be expected to be rendered in a perfect man- ner. Many of these choruses are of great beauty as to treatment, and afford oppor- tunity for the society to show the careful training it has received under its musical director, Dr. H. C. Sherman. A large body of singers is needed for the proper inter- pretation of this work, and at a meeting of ara ee of the Cnoral So- ety ursday evening, it was cided to admit to membership in the so- ciety a limited number of capable voices without charging them the usual admis- sion fee on Monday evening next at the Typographical Hall, where the rehearsals take place; singers whose abilities are not known to the examining committee will be examined as to quality of voice and read- ing ability. The approaching performance of the great sacred opera of “Samson and Delilah” is exciting considerable interest among musicians here, and the ranks of the Choral Society will most likely be filled up next Monday evening. The Damrosch Club of thirty male voices has, it is under- stood, been invited to sing with the society, and it is probable will In the old days the players of the banjo and mandolin were considered to be pick- ers rather than real musicians. The possi- bilities of these instruments were unknown. It was considered that they were all very well to furnish brief amusement, but the idea of getting artistic music out of these instruments was not thought of. Now, however, both banjo and mandolin ere played by men who are as artistic in their musical sense as those who affect more ambitious instruments. Neither of them is @ perfect instrument, and each needs @ background of accompaniment to bring out perfect harmony, but with that aid elther banjo or mandolin is an artistic solo in- strument. The playing of the banjo by Mr. Farland recently opened the eyes of many who thought they were good players upon that instrument as to what could be done with it by an artist. There are many good players on these in- struments in Washington, both singly and in clubs. The best team is undoubtedly that of Cullen and Collins, who both play the banjo, and have Mr. McEnany as a piano accompanist. They play a high grade of music, having arranged many operatic gems and the works of some of the most eminent composers for their own use. The best club is perhaps the Madrids, who play a class of selections equal to any orchestra. The interest in these instruments, both for individual and club use, is increasing with each year, and when it is considered that Chopin’s Nocturnes, Liszt’s Polonaises, the works even of Schubert, Schumann and Wagner, besides arrangements from every classical and comic opera, are now played by such clubs the reason for it is manifest. Prof. Geo. W. Lawrence has secured the National Rifles Armory Hall and will pro- duce the opera Pinafore with his pupils on Thursday and Friday evenings, February 27 and 28. The cast and chorus, which has been selected by Prof. Lawrence with great care, will number about forty-five voices. The Washington String Orchestra is dili- gently rehearsing for its next concert under the direction of its conductor, Mr. Ernest Lent. The program will be one of varied character and the soloists will be Riverie, the great violinist; Aime Lachume and Mrs. Ernest Lent, pianists. Great interest is manifested in the appearance here of Ri- verde, who kas created the most favorable impression in every city in which he has -piayed, and it is expected that the seats will be rapidly taken. Mr. Anton Gloetzner is bringing the Georgetown Orchestra through its rehear- sals in excellent form. Many of the old members, who have been rather irregular in their attendance, are now among the most earnest of the regulars, and the inter- est in their work increases with each re- hearsal. Those who have heard the orches- = recently say it never played in better ‘orm An organ recital wili be given at the New Church, corner of 16th and Corcoran streets, next Friday evening, January 10, the occa- sion being the opening of a new organ built by Hook & Hastings of Boston. Mr. Fred- erick Maxson of Philadelphia will give the recital, assisted by local talent, to be an- nounced later. Mrs. Ralph P. Barnard will sing tomor- Tow morning at the New Church, corner 18th and Corcoran streets, “The King of Love My Shepherd Is,” by Gounod. STOPPING A SHIP, Time and Distance It Takes to Arrest a Vessel’s Motion. From Youths’ Companion. The motion of e steamship on the At- lantic, when the sea is calm, is so smooth and steady that the passenger hardly real- izes the tremendous momentum of the yes- sel under his feet. After the engines have been slowed down there is a startling reve- lation of the energy of motion. This en- ergy can also be accurately calculated with the aid of mathematical formulas, and the time and distance within which the motion can be totally arrested, and the ship be brought to a stand, may be ascertained in a similar manner. This calculation has re- — been made for several well-known ships. To stop the Etruria, whose “‘displace- ment” is 9,680 tons, horse-power 14,321, and speed 20.18 knots an hour, two minutes and fcrty-seven seconds are required, and ¢ur- ing the progress of stopping, the ship will forge ahead 2,464 feet, which is only 176 feet less than half a mile. The United States cruiser Columbia, with a displace- ment of 7,350 tons, 17,991 horse-power and a speed of 228 knots, can be stopped in two minutes and fifteen seconds, and with- in a space of 2,147 feet. The little flyer Cushing, also of the United States navy, whose displacement is only 105 tons, and horse-power 1,754, while its speed is 22.48 knots, can be stopped within a distance of 301 feet in 18.4 seconds. In each case the |. versel is supposed to be going at full speed and the stoppage is produced by reversing the action of the propelling machinery. ——— _ +e+-____ Medical Students in Revolt. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Medical students were on the strike both at Athens and Moscow last week, the Athen- ians, because five ladies had been admitted into the Attic University, but the Mos- covites, because they are dissatisfied with, the Russian government. In the Acropolis city the students were divided, the Eternal Womanly coming between them. Some cried out to accept the necessary evil, and some raised a discord of dissent. Matters ceme to a crisis in the chemical laboratory when two students—one from Arcadia (strange context) and the other from Asia Minor—iiscussed the matter with one re- volver between them, and Asia Minor was carried off tO the hospital on a stretcher. In Moscow the university youth has been boycotting Prof. Sacharin, the famous doc~ tor of the late czar, their grievance against him being that he is court physician. They refused to attend his lectures, but Sacharin calmly remarked: “They need me, I don't reed them,” and proposed to give his lec- tures in an empty room. Four came to the first conference, six to the second; at seven the number stood fast. And those who came were the poorest.
