PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

There was very large audience at the Academy
OF Music last night at the second concert OF the
thirty y-second season OF the philharmonic Society
The orchestral part OF the programme was in.
terestng, consisting OF the italian" sym. hony in
major. opus 90, by Mendelssohn, written during
his visit to Rome, and only equalled by his
"Scotch" symphony; the delightful overture to
.Leonora," No. 9, in major by Beethoven, the
best of the four overtures written for "Fideio;"
and Rublnstens first symphony in major. Mrs.
Gulager, a soprano, sung the prayer from "Der
Freschutz' and q cavatina from "Beatrice d
Tendan The orchestra, under the able direction
OF Herr Bergman, gave point and effect to the
glorious works OF Mendelssohn and Beethoven,
with the exception OF some blunders
is patchy and unsatisfactory. Independent OF
many striking points OF resemblance 10 the works
OF other composers winch are SO aoundantiy scat
splratlon ana unity OF idea. Tnere Is nothing In
II TO conflict with the strlctcst opinions OF mu-
slcian, as lar as Instrumentation Is concerned. Un
the contrary, many remarkable effects may be
found In IT, But 1t leaves the impression only OF
clever music making without tne atpmas apatus,
very tiresome. The composer takes hold OF sub
ject and worries IL until there IS nothing left OF it,
and every one Is glad when Its successor is brought
forward.
Tue society as usual, showed want Of jadg-
ment Mes da,aper IN e may nelsc"oa GOOD s0psr pa
lor singer, but she is not at all
up 10 what one would call the
true Philharmonic standard. The magnificent
music OF Weber fell without effect, and the norld
measures OF Bellini, entirely unworthy OF con-
cert oi such pretensions, were mechanically de-
hvered The radical defect OF the Philharmonic
society In their concerts is Rip Van Wlnkleism.
Their orchestral selections are generally far be-
hind those or Mr., Theodore Thomas, and their
soloists rank very low in the domain OF art. An
entire page OF the printed programme Is taken up
with lot OF unpronounceabe names, a llst OF the
orchestra as II tne New York puDlic cared straw
to know who PLAYED the claronet, tompani or
trombone. The blood Is sluggish III tue veins OF
the directors else we would have more vigorous
management IN society oil such pretenslons.

Charles w. Moore.

Charles w. Moore, distinguished member OF the
Masonic order in America, died on Friday, at West
Concord, Mass, from the effects OF an attack OF
pneumonia. Mr.. Moore was born III Boston, March
2s 1901. He was proposed for the degrees in Mas
sachusetts Lodge In February 1922, and intended
have been initiated in that lodge on the evening OF
his twenty n st birthday. He was, however. called
TO the state of Maine, and was Initiated, on the
recommendation OF Massachusetts Lodge or their
committee, IN kennebec Lodge in April or May lol-
loving. In October, lS22, lie was admitted men,
ber oI ST. Anthonyis Lodge Boston, and In the fol-
loving month was placed IN office He was elected
Master oil that lodge III 1888, but having, in 1884,
been elected Recording Grand secretary of the
Grand Lodge, he was under the necessity
OF resgnng the Office OF Master-the two being
Incompatible. He was, however, the same evening
elected secretary OF st. Andrews Lodge, which
place he held for 10 years, when he resigned. Tne
thirty third degree oil the scotch Kite was con-
Ierred upon HIM III 1s4S, and he was the Grand
Secretary General OF the Sut RENE Council Thirty
third for the Northern jurisdiction OF the United
states. He has also occupied various offices in the
G. g. Encampment Of tue United states. Wnen he
was elected Recording Grand secretary OF the
Grand Lodge in 1884 II was the moment when the
anti Masonic excitement was raging with It's great
est violence In Massachusetts, and his first official
act was to attest the memorial written by hm
surrendering to the Legislature the Act OF Incor-
poratlon Oh the Grand Lodge. TINS act OF surrcn-
der originated with him. He had obtained a very

AFTER SICKLEs, WHo?-The Indianapolis
Journal (Senator Morton's organ) states that
ex-Congressman Samuel Shellabarger, of Ohio,
will be appointed Minister to Spain in case of
the resignation of General Sickles. On the
other hand, the Chicago Times AYERS that
Governor Washburn. defeated candidate for
Governor of Wisconsin at the late election,
will be the lucky man. According to these
arrangements it would seem that our Western
contemporaries think the administration really

Taking the acting as a whole the piece was ad-
mirably presented but there was not that even
ness or merit we have so often remarked at this
theatre Mr. Writings Max Harkaway, for ill.,
stance, was too much the Earl Dashington for the
and Miss Minnie Conways Grace was exceedingly
sprltless- She reads her lines as If all the words
were of equaIlengtn and she was required to recte
a fixed number in minute. Her voice. too, has a
rotund hoowness winch shows how much 1t
trast to her Grace Harkaway was Miss
Fanny Davenports Lady Gay spanker. Miss
Davenporps acting in the part Is admirable
so admirable indeed as to make IL one OF the best
representations OF the part seen on the stage In
number OF years. TO abundance OF that enjoy
nient OF country life, for which we have better
name than animal spirits she added a refinement
OF uanner which lifted the part above that OF
OF the part was preserved. but It's extrayagances
and eXdggeratlons were so toned as to blend hap
ply with occasions ana surroundings. Miss Dayen-
ports Lady Gay Is not IN re gushing impossible
enjoys all the absurdtles as well as the sturdier
pleasures OF lie. 1t Is difficult i'll such a
part to tread the exact line between a
keen enjoyment of what Is regarded as mere
form OF Lazy Gay Spanker. In touching that line,
but not going beyond it, Miss Davenport shows her
excellent dramatic training. Mr.. Charles Fishers
sir Harcourt COurtly, Mr.. George Ciarke's Charles
Courtly, and Mr.. d. H. Harkins' Dazzle were all
good performances but we missed some OF the
unctnous humor which might nave been Infused
into them. MI. Frank Hardenberg as NEEDLE, gave
an excellent rendering OF difficult part and
showed the artist to be among the best character
actors on the New York stage. The piece Will be
repeated on Monday evening, and on Tuesday
evening there Is to be another performance Of
sold Heads and Young Hearts.n
