INTEREST GROWING IN CONGERT CDURSE Givic Music Association Hears Report oa Subecriptions Optimism was coupled with the | impetus of achievement when work- «rs in the Civic Music association movement met at the home of Judge W. C. Hungerford, its president, last night and heard reports of subscrip- tions te the course of concerts being sponsered by the association. It was & large gathering which had ceme to review the progress of the movement to date and partake in the discussion of details for the udvancement of the cause. A. G. Kimball, who' President Hungerford dctlared, was the business head of the organization, presided. The alm of the association has leen to obtain 1,000 remberships. Bo far considerably more than half that number are in sight. There will also be sustaining memberships. Mr. Kimball made it plain that at no time in the city's history had the wunie loving public been. offered ~such high class concerts by merely Lecoming members of the Civic Music association, It was announc- ed that the last date for member- <hip applications is November 1. Headquarters of the Civic Music as. soclation is at the Chamber of Com- merce, where Ralph H. Benson, sec- retary, has charge of the rolls. ‘Comcerts The three concerts coftracted for were announced as follo Nov. 11—Nanette Guilford, so- prane with the Metropolitan Opera oinpany and one of that organiza- lion's leading and best.liked stars, On the-same program will be Ru- Jdolph Ganz, internationally known planist and until recently conductor of the 8t. Louis S8ymphony orches. Wi conductor of the orches- t Swiss planist continued making_ limited concert tours but this year is devoting all his time to concertising. January 15 — Carmella Ponselle, mezso soprano with the Metropoli- lan Opera company, who with her sister Rosa, attained the heights of ardom. The Meriden girl is a great favorite in this city and there in no doubt that her appearance here will be a highly popular event among members of the association. On the same program will be Max tosen, internationally known violin- ist. This master of the queen of in- s.ruments has attained great prom- inence in recent years and is gen- erally regarded as a fast climber in Both these toloists, of course, will have their own brilliant accompanists. The third concert will be given the Sunday before Easter and is being regarded as sure to be in the nature of a erowning achievement for the lirst year of the association. It will consist of a presentation by the New Dirital Choral wmoclety of Carl Ilusch’s great oratorio, “King Olaf,” which was one of the most success- ful presentations given by this or- ganization years' ago. This revival will be supported by a large orches- tra and four prominent soloists. A Limited to Members Attendance at the association's concerts, it was stressed last night, is possible through membership in the organization only. Those desir- ing to hear these concerts must be members, and §t was emphasized thut between now and November 1 is the last opportunity to enter the rolls of memberships. Tickets can be secured in no other way, as this is the fundamental basis of organiza- tion, enabling the organization to operate along the successful lines of musical organizations which have been so0 successful in acores of other cities. “The last lap of the membership drive is in progress,” Mr. Kimball stated, “and it is our duty to ad- vise the public to act before it is 100 late. In associations such as this the first year is always the most difticult; the plan is new in the community and the public must be shown that it works. The second year, following a season of unquali- fled success, always results in the public being anxious to join.” After the business of the associa- tion was completed last night a pro- gram of music was provided by the following: Theron W. Hart and ‘Walter Arbour, piano solos; John Lindsay, baritone solos; Ruth Goodrich Horton, soprano solos; Jane Sartoris Tuttle, contralto solos; Philip C. Magnuson, temor wolos; nd these vocalists in an ensemble number. BALDWIN W Woodbridge, Oct. 11 (P—Nollow- | ing the republican caucus for repr sentative here 'ast night, at which Harry E.

BOTH AUTO DRIVERS| BLANED FOR CRASH Judge Rebukes Both Operators/ Tor Intersecting Collision A collision between cars driven by | Courtland 8ears, aged 25, of 345 Trumbull street, Hartford, and Vin- cento Suppino, aged 29, of 282 Clin- ton street, this city, at the intersec- tion of High and Broad streets about 2 o'clock Monday afternoon resulted in a discharge in Suppino’s case on the charge of reckless driving and a suspension of judgment in the case of Sears, who was charged with failure to have his registration in his possession in police court today. Sears produced his certificate of registration and explained that he had left it at home unintentionally. He was driving north on High |street and saw mo tratfic on Broud of the body, the plaintift Wa OblIg- | gireet ag he started to cross the in- tersection. He shNed into second gear and proceeded at the approxi- mate rate of 10 miles an hour and was about half way across when Suppino’s car going west on Broad street, hove in sight. Realizing that he could not clear the intersection in second gear in time to avoid & collision. Sears pull- cd to the left and Suppino's car sideswiped his car, he said. He esti- mated that Suppino's car was going at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Suppino who was represented by Attorney Angela Sacara, blamed Scars for the collision and disputed his estimate of the speed of the cars. Judge Saxe said he believed Sears had not told the entire story, for it would have been lmpossible for the accident to happen had Sears stopped as he approached the inter- section, sounded the horn and pro- ceeded in second gear as he claimed ta have done. “It is one of these in- tersecting street accidents for which both parties are equally to blame,” he said. Motorcycle officer made the arrest.
