THn CONCERTS of Theodore Thomas orches-
ira will end with that of to- night. The attempt
TO criticise their rendering of the programme
OF last night would be as Intellectual as Il would
be TO point out defects in the works or the great
masters which they rendered. The audience
received the more classic works with As muc,l
tnthusasm as could be expected; many having
little appreciation for the higher or der Of music

rSiCC'Cu ny anu the tastes OF all
are suited. The programme of this evening we
consider the gem Of the'series.

riders and drivers must give way for pedestrians
does not seem to apply in this city. If you are
on loot and zee vehicle or horse approaching
run for your life, If you can't run stand sill and
be run over. About IL O'Clock yesterday an old
man named Daniel Barrett was run over by a
tHo-horse buggy driven by a man named John
