NEW YORK, July 23.—There is one thing that fishermen and bathers in the vicinity of New York have yet to encounter nowadays—and that s » whale, The idea sounds preposterous, and although a few years ago there was quite a scare over sharks being reported in nearby waters, the only whales that New Yorkers are likely to see today are those brought here occasionally in cap- tivity. Once Frequent Callers. Yet there was a day when whales were frequent callers at the port of Nt 3 Hudson and East Rivers and to like the fresh water flowing out of the Hudson. Of course that was so long ago that undoubtedly the whales will never return, and bathers need have no fear of playin: the Jonah role. There were five whel>s that went cruising up the Hudson all in the same year, and all became stranded near Yonkers in shallow v.ater when the tide went out. Adriaen van der Donk, the man for whom Yonkers was named, had a farm up there in the early Dutch days.

Actually this much-found soprano acknowledges the efforts in her behalf of four sponsors—Dr. Lucy Langdon Willlams Wilson, Leopold ~Stokowski, Gershwin and the Messrs. Asrons and Freedley. Dr. Wilson was principal of South Philadelphia High School when she heard Lilllan, then 11, gallantly at- tempt the aria from “Der Freischutz” when called upon to contribute to a school entertainment. It and the arla from “Aida” and a few other coloratura larynx-wreckers were what Lillian's 75- cents-an-hour music teacher had taught Dr. Wilson borrowed the young singer and forgot to return her. She took her to Stokowsk!l instead. He heard her, told her to drop the teacher and the arias and study all the foreign lan- ages she could. Two years later he David Bispham gave her first prize at the annual singing competition of the Curtis Institute of Music.
