AIL, Tetrazzini! It was thus, if memory does not play me false, that 1 welconfed the now world famous cantatriee when Mr. Ham- merstein presented her to us at his Manhattan Opera House a decade or 0 ago, Thrice hail to her then on her reappearance,’after an absence of some years, in a concert at the Hippo- drome yesterday afternoon, If her votce lacked something of the pri tine freshness that it held on that not-easy-to-be-forgotten night, there was compensation in the ‘all-round quality with which she has buttressed and embellished it, No such assured lovely colorature singing has been vouchsafed to us for a long time. Among tho crop of worthy young aspirants, most of them Americans, for stellar honors in this field she has no equal in brightness of voice pro- duction, in beauty of sustained tone or in vocal force. In the Mad Scene from Ambroise Thomas’ Hamlet,” in Juies Benedict's variations on the “Carnival of Venice," and, above all, in Mozart's “Vol che sapete,” a rarely eluquent pronouncement, these quali- ties. were established beyond porad- venture. The torrent of applause on her en- trance was kept_up #o long that it unnerved her. Later when Caruso dragged her upon the stage and ran ay, she had recovered her self-pos- session and accepted the plaudits in her own inimitable way, not to over- look the dextrous kicking of her train to avoid tripping over it, Caruso [himself, in a box with Scotti, befo: Mme, Tetrazzini claimed yociferously Mme. ‘etrazzini was assisted by Warren Proctor, tenor; Mayo Wadler, violinist, and Pietro Cimara, an ex- pert acc»mpanist at the plano, Emmy Destinn, another notable singer denied to us because of her semi-internment during the war, made &@ reappearance as soloist with the Cin- cinnati Symphony Orchestra at the Hippodrome last night. She, too, was warmly welcomed and justified the ac- claim. Her upper notes were as ravish- ing as ever, and her voice throughout its whole range was captivating. Like Mme, Tetrazzini, she was at her best in an added number, the “Vissi d'Arte," from “Tosca.” She also sang arias from “La Juive" and “Il Trava- to and some Bohemian songs.

E. Krehbiel, the orchestrations by Leopold Stokowski, were on her list as well as the “Liebestod” (also sung in Baglish), from Wagner's “Tristan and Isolde.” She graced them all by her voice, even though she did not always articulate clearly Mr. Kreh- biel's worthy texts. Mr. Stransky's rogramme for the orchestra included Fehaikovsky's fourth symphony and two nocturnes by Debussy, Mozart's “Jupiter” symphony was Mr. Damrosch’s principal offering at the concert of the Symphony Society in Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon. It was played with much charm and delicate shading, the woodwind choir distinguishing itself in the andante cantabile, Sascha Jacobsen, the vi lintst, was soloist in Lalo's “Sym- phonie Espagnole." He played with warmth, but with something lacking i lasticity and finish. At the So- 4 y's concert in Car i Saturday night Percy ger was the soloist in Griog's piano concerto in A minor, playing his part with buoyant rhythm and with an In- | fectious charm that was irresistible. Mr. Grainger’s overture, “Ove: the Hills and Far Away,” played by the orchestra for the first time, spelle good humor and the exuberance of youth, with no little skill to boot. Beethoven's fifth symphony was the principal orchestral number, Yvette Guilbert, the eminent French iseuse, gave one of her inimitable recitals at Maxine Elliott's Theatre (S tos Fes Vea =n, INSTHE STORM AO ST.

Port authorities here and at Nor- folk, Va., were mystified this morning by an incomplete wirel message picked up by the Naval Communica- tions Office. The message describes & collision at sea, saying that “the steamship Carrilo” struck “the sailing Veasel Elizabeth.” The only steamship by the name of Carrilo known to be in this vicinity is the United Fruit ship of that name, which is in port in New York. And the only known sailing ship by the name of Hlizabeth in these waters is said to be one which reached folk from Copenhagen on Nov. has not sailed again ‘The wireless message apparently came from the steamship, but the message was broken off in so y and nothing more has been Bre authorities are incl to believe that there has been a collision, but > way of guessing the nam hips nor the extent of the damage, or- 25 and 4 alee a Dr. Garvin Quits Raybrook Sanitartam BARANAC LAKE, Dec, 1,—The Tesigpation of Dr, Albert H. Garvin, Superintendent of the State Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis at Ray- brook, was announced to-day. Dr, Garvin has accepted a similar position Than Shooting Trip. A few days ago the Winter Garden Gun Club went duck hunting off Babylon, L. I. Here is an account of the trip, written by Joe Smith, the comedian of the Avon Comedy Four, in the form of a letter to a Jewish friend: 1 ear Sam: Well, after over a week of planning, speaking and getting fixed up for hunting wild ducks, eight from us went—and believe me, Sam, I'm telling you the true, its not 80, easy to hunt ducks, wild ones espe- clally, and when I catched up an in- vitation, understand me, I was happy agreeable to go, Of course you couldn't for an hour guess whom was in the party, so to save time, I'll tell you it was, or at least to say they was some of the principal actors from the Passing Show at the Winter Garden. There was Charley Win- ninger, Jim Barton, John Crone, Ralph Riggs and his pal Bil Pinkham, Charles Dale, Joe Smith and yours humble truly, Well, sir, my friend, I met them after the show Tuesday night, and they all had hunting clothes on, from the bottom up to the top. To me it looked like we were going to a masquerade ball. Well, I was sure laughing from them, and from myself the way we was all look- Ing, but it was very necessary to be 80 like that, as you will find out later. BETTER ACTORS THAN PIN- OCHLE PLAYERS. We made a 1,30 A. M. train for Babylon, L. I. ‘The ride lasted an hour and a half. Winninger, Dale, Pinkham and Crone was playing auc- tion pinochle, Well they are at least better actors, and Barton was telling hunting and fishing stories. Honest, Sam, I never heard such lies in my life, before, and how a fellow like Smith could sit and listen to him so interesting, But I found out after that Smith was figuring out mentally how he could call Barton a lar, with- out hurting his feelings. Well, we ar- rived at Babylon at 3 o'clock and a egliple of machines met ussand drove us to the point of embarkation 90 .o speak. Well we all went aboard a honky dory, A dory is a boat. Well this boat's name was Comfort, and after we went into the cabin things didn't look so comfortable as the name, Maybe they named the boat Comfort because she was at least built solid, ‘The Captain and mat was catching up a nap whe w hopped astern (I'm speaking naviga- ably) and so after fifteen minutes of taking inventory of all our stock, they lifted the anchor and we sailed out to the hunting ground, The weather was not so good but| good for ducks. I heard the Captain say if the wind blows to the south- west then the ducks would fly low. To me all this was as clear as a Chinese laundry ticket. I should worry which way the wind blows as long as the ata Detroit, whe! i will be v0 5 5 Garvin is eraduate ot “xhin | wind blows ducks our way, that's all is necessary. 1 stood on deck and in- Srispy air and some of tho “Hello, old Salt.” Sam, if he said salt pork I' would have been sea sick then and there, so for fear he would speak about pork instead of ducks, I went Into the cabin and lied down and lis- tened to more lies. ‘The drone of the! engine or the lies put me to sleep, or/ maybe it was the shnopps.

Anyhow, he told me that the boat full of ducks was de- coys. Well, they looked so real that I was fooled, Believe me, I'm glad I ain't no duck, else I would be shot years ago, “Well, the way the Captain and the mate was fixing those boats was very interested’ to sce, Then they got in one of the boats and rode away. It was still dark, and in five minutes they was out of sight. Well, after about an hour later the day was breaking, and I was watching, as they say in story books, a new day being ushered in and watching the Captain and his mate preparing the battery. A battery is a landing place for ducks, also immigrants. But, as Kipling would say, that’s an- other battery. Well, to make a long letter ehort, back came the Captain and mate and said to me: “Boys, the ducks will fy to your left. Keep low and don't let them see you.” So we all got in a little fourteen-foot launch boat, by the name of Gyp, and we all stood up and pointed our guns away from each other’s noses, Sam, wo looked like a picture of George Washington crossing the Delaware, only’ the ice was missing, Well, in a little while we got near the battery, and Mr, Riggs and his pal Pinkham got in this battery or square box that had wooden ducks all around it, and when they jayed down you couldn't see them (| don’t mean the ducks). Well, wo left them, and just at twenty min- utes to soven o'clock the ducks start- ed to fly. Believe me, Sam, it was a handsome sight, Pretty soon the ducks, wild ones, wag flying near the battery and landed in between the wooden ducks, and bang-bang, and a couple of more bangs, and flip went four ducks and a nose from a wooden one, The shots were perfect, and the boys im our boat applauded. So Riggs and Pinkham stood up and bowed, and lost six more ducks who just flow over them, RECOVERED NINE OF THIRTY DUCKS SHOT. Well, we were in a hurry fo get to a point where they fixed up what they call a blind, so quick we landed on a flat marsh and right away got busy covering the two little boats with sea. weed, Dale and Winninger got in one| boat, Barton and Smith in another, and they fixed up sort of a trench for Croneand me. Helieve me, it was cold; where we was, but I could see all around me and everything that hap- pened, 1 ‘All of a wudden I heard Winninger say: “Heads down!"
