It is an annual event that brings joy to thousands of music lovers. New York offers few experiences more enjoy- able than a moonlit evening in the comparativ coolness and comfort of this beautiful open-air auditorium, with excellent musical entertainment to help drive away the cares and discomforts of the day This ssion of good music see have become a fixture 1s to The contributing patrons see a return from their practical philanthropy in meeting the deficit. This return is best illus- trated by the announcement that “popular” music has been barred from this summer's pro- grammes. A more competent orchestral organ- ization has been recruited and only music that has stood the test will be played The Stadium Concerts are serving their pur- pose in educating music lovers to discriminate in their choice of entertainment. When the Stadium concerts were started the demand for all classical programmes would not have war- ranted their production. Now the management believes that the time has come when such a pro- gramme will please the hearers. Popular taste in music has been improved. The concert audi- ences have been educated New York is becoming more and more a musi- cal centre The Stadium Concerts are playing a conspicuous part in the development. FERRY RESERVATIONS. HE July Fourth jam at the Hudson River ferries resulted in interminable waits for motorists. At some ferries it took four hours to cross Similar conditions, if in less acute form, pre- vail every pleasant Saturday and Sunday, The custom results in a waste of time that might be more pleasantly and profitably employed. The ferry customers waiting their turns recall the Saturday night line-up at a rural barber shop, Wouldn't it be better” for the ferry companies to follow the lead of some of the more progres- sive barber shops in the cities, the proprietors of w re ed that waiting resulted loss of patronage? Some barbers make appointments for customers, not to the full capacity of the shop, but for enough to occupy a half or two- thirds of the barbers Why not a similar system for ferries? Sup- pose a motorist wants to leave the city at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. To cross at that time fre may need to get in line at 8 o'clock. How much better for him to call at the ferry the day before and engage passage at 10 and have a com- fortable morning.

But I believe that the memorial should be 1 entirely separate from any utilitarian purpose, such as swimming pools and playgrounds.

He became a sallor in tho merchant marine, and settled in Virginia shortly before the Revolu- tionary War. Ie volunteered his services in the interest of American independence, was appointed First Lieutenant, and made a number of successful cruises. In 1777 he sailed to France, where he established his headquarters at Brest, and con ducted a remarkable. expedition to the British coast in his ship, the Ranger. He took several prizes in St. George's Channel in 1778, cap- he ete pet ‘The Nations | Their Music By AUGUSTUS PERRY | Copyright, 1 (New York Evening World) by Publishing Co, FRANCE In France during the Renaissance there appeared musicians and poeta who were called troubadours and trouveres, These men, who may be described as minstrel knights, became famous for their musical and poeti abilities, 7) Their art was probably developed during the crusades, as many of the old folk-songs show Oriental influ- ences. The troubadours came from Southern France and the trouveres from the North. The former were usually of noble birth and counted among their numbers William, Court of Poitiers, and Richard the Hearted, of England. Adam de la Halle (1240-1287), who was called “The Hunchback of Ar- ras,"’ was the most renowned of the troubadours. He wrote “Robin and Marion,” which was the first comio opera. After the decline of the wandering minstrels France jost some of her musical prestige; but the develop- ment of opera in the seventeenth century enabled her once more to take the lead. A pioneer In the op eratic field was Jean Baptiste Lully (1683-1687), whose court ballets and operas gained much popularity. The ballets contained many dances. Among them were the stately minuet, the dignified sarabande and the live ly gigue, all in triple rhythm In even rhythm were the refined gavotte and the rollicking bourree. These dances and others were favorites . the nobility * The folk-songs derive acter from the various provinces. Ih Southern France the melodies are distinguished by their gayety and po etic sentiment. Burgundy is famour for its Noels (Christmas carols) ani its drinking songs. In Normandy the songs are about the everyday events of life. Many beautiful May-time airs come from Champagne and Lory raine, The only popular songs @ Paris and the other large cities are tunes from the conic operas, whereas in the country the real folk-songs etill exist. From the time of Lully, France for a lengthy period led the world in opera, Among the early composers in this form were Jean Philippe Rameau (1688-1764) and Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842), whose opera “Les Deux Journees’’ (The Two Days) is still played in ance, A famous school of violin playing was founded in Paris at the end of the eighteenth century by Rode, Baillot and Kreutzer Beethoven dedicated his “Kreutzer Sonata” to their char- the latter violinist. The first great- French orchestral master was Hector Berlioz (1803- 1869). To him belongs the honor of veing the founder of the modern pro gramme school. His best known com- positions are “The Fantastic Sym phony,” the symphony “Harold i Italy" and the wonderful cantata “The Damnation of Faust.” Charles Francois Gounod (1818- 1898) is best known for his master- piece, the opera “Faust.” A genius who met with an untimely deat was Georges Bizet (1838-1875), who: “Carmen” and the “Arlesienne” music are perennial delights. Pre-eminent among recent operatic composers of La Belle France w: Jules Massenct (1842-1912). Nota’ among his many creations ate “Manon,” “Thais” and “The Juggler of Notre-Dame.” The modern musical trend was first taken up by Cesar Franck (1822-1890) This distinguished musician lived a saintly and secluded life at Paris, devoting his time to teaching and composing. Most imposing of his works are the oratorio “The Beati- tudes"? and the noble D minor sym- phony. Among the recent composers Claude Debussy (1862-1907) was fa- mous for his radical tendencles and wrote the much-discussed opera “Pelleas et Melisande.” The recent death of Camille Saint-Saens (1885 1921) deprived France of one of her finest musicians. -_ WHERE DID YOU GET THAT WORD? 184,.—ZEST. Curlous is the origin of the ccm- monly used word zest, It travelled into the English language, as so many other words have travelled, by way of France. The old French word “zest’’ (med ern “zeste”) meant a piece of the skin of a citron or lemon. As the Englisity used pleces of citron or lemon for flavoring, they applied the Freneh word to the substance that gives the flavoring, or zest obsolete use of the word was to designate the plece of citrous fruit- skin that was put into a drink. Thus arose the use of the word to designate anything that gives relish or enjoyment to life, Strictly speak- ing, the word is Incompatible with the Highteenth Amendment, and is in danger of being outlawed by the Vol- stead act tured the British vessel Drake, and with his own vessel made a daring cruise along the eastern shore.
