sons and families in this city,, who cannot con-
scienousy visit the theatre, an opportunity to hear
him. We observe that on this evening, also, the
new candidate for public favor, Vieux Temps, gives
a concert at Washington Hail. At first sight, 1t
might appear unfortunate that these artists should
have selected the night for their concerts, and
out of this accdent-for purely accidental it has
been-the Courier dies Etats Unis and the little
clique of which il is the organ, has been endeavor
ing TO create a flame OF resentment against Ole
Bull, and to create prejudice, out Of which II
hopes TO crowd Washington Hail. This is a mise
rable trick, and unworthy of moments attention
by any one who has true love for music or the art
We have no doubt that the passion for music In
this city is great, that both the Tabernacle and
Washington Hall will be overlooked But, indeed
the attempt TO excite any feeling against Ole Bull
| for giving concert tonight, is very petty.
notice Of his concert for Thursday night was pub
lished in this paper about week ago, and the
Courier g. Enquirer, and one two other papers,
attributed that announcement to Ole Bull But this
is a mistake. We made that announcement with
out any knowledge of its inaccuracy, and, indeed
didnot name positively the day, but merely stated
that we supposed he would give concert on
Thursday.
Vieux Temps comes here with very exalted re-
putation. If he sustains it, no doubt he will be
very warmly received and supported And surely
it is not necessary in admring him and giving him
the highest place his merits deserve, to relnquish
our regard and esteem for Ole Bull The world is
wide enough for both, and this country Is large
enough for both to reign as despotcally as their
genius authorizes, 1t being awarded on all hands
that Mr.. Artot occupies different position fron.
both Indeed, we believe that the principal
sufferer will be poor Mr. Macready at the Park.

We are startled somewhat at the following an
nouncement, which was handed to us late last eve

Postp0nement of Mr.. Ole Bulls Concert.
CARD.
To THE PUBIIc.-On my return from Philadel-
pha, have learned, with regret, that some unplea
SAINT Il cling has been excited in consequence OF my
having announced Concert at the TABERNACLE,
on Monday Evening, the llth inst. MIR Vieux
Temps, my brother Artist, (whom | have rot the
honor of knowing personality has announced
had engaged the room for this epcnimg before MI
Vieux Temps had arrived in this city, but | mos;
cheertuly yield the evening to him, and trust he
has a sc eraV
beg my friends to excuse the postponement OF my
Concert to Wednesday evening, in consequence Of
this when shall have the pleasure of appearing
before them and again on Monday evening, the
18th inst, in farewell Concert. take this OPP
portunty to express my warmest gratitude for the
great kindness have received from the citizens Of
| New York. OLE BULL.
AsToR HOUSE, Dec 10, 1913.
This is admirable. Ole Bull gives up the
night and the violin to Vieuxemps without word
Yesterday he arrived here at 3 o'clock from Phila-
delphia and soon as he learned the situation Of
things, he at determined to postpone his con-
cert Sc will give Mr.. Vieuxtemps fair feld-vy
not we are all brudders." There will, therefore,
be terrible rush tonight to Washington Hall
and a more terrible one on Wednesday night at the
| Tabernacle.
We understand also, that on Saturday night, in
philadelphia, the great violiuist received with
even greater astonishment than ever. He was call
ed out seven times, besides making little afiec-
tionate speech. Before the last time he asked one
of the musicians" Ave you got de note of de Hail
Columbia % sob yes'-"I neverc saw him
can you show de note of him moment % He
was shown the music. He looked at the notes
| few seconds-his eyes sparkled-he seized his vio-
lin-he glided on the stage-he put his instrument
to his ear-then flew of in splendid fantasia, clos
ing with the air of Hail Columbia, in a style of
beauty, sublimity and pathos, that made the whole
house rise up in fit of excitement and applause
So Philadelphia is mad too, and no mistake.
OUR SHIP News REronrs-CouRrEsY OF Car
rAINs.-Our ship news collector, in the pursuit of
marine intelligence, yesterday morning, boarded
the ship Mary Frances, from Mobile. She is COM
manded by Captain Hubbard and is one of the
regular line Of Mobile packets, for which Messrs
Post " Phillips are agents. Our collector, on re
guessing the report Of the ship-whence she sailed
the length Of her passage-her cargo, &C., was
informed by the Captain that he did not like the
New York Herald, nor Mr. Bennett, and would
not, therefore, give any information and we
are unable, for these weghty reasons, to give the
| report of that ship TO numerous readers this
morning
| We look upon this refusal on the part of the Cap
! tain of the Mary Frances as the height of impu
ience and impertinence. What right has he to re
fuse to give this any other paper report of this
ship7 Is he her only owner, and being in the pos
session of small ship, is he to refuse the public,
upon whom he is dependant for his cargoes, such
information as they want and have a right to de-
mand We do not believe that such conduct as has
been displayed by this Captain, will be countenanced
for one moment, by the agents and owners of this
| ship We believe that, merchants, they
know too well the Of correct ship news report
to permit Captain of theirs to behave as disgrace
fully as this Captain has done. We therefore, in the
name of the mercantile public, call upon them 10
examine into this matter and punish this blockhesd
for his ignorance and impertinence.
1t is now ten years since we established the He
rald and we do not recollecr of ever before having
been refused any ship by any of the thousands
ofcaptains who have entered this harbor during that
time. We have spent over thirty thousand dollars
in our department in those ten years, in order
to give the earliest intelligence to the world, and,
therefore, think that we have right to expect re-
ciprocity from the mercantile marine of this and
all other nations. Our ship news reports are the
most correct of any published in this country, and
our ship news collectors are ever genemanly and
polite to captains Of vessels, from cock boat to
i Limo ac., And In oil
