heat. Time 2:25; 1926 2:271151.
The second race was the 2:20 class, and ex-
cited much interest. .Goldsmith's Driver was
the pet favorite, selling at $ll5 to $50 for
Bonesetter and $25 for the field. Odds were
also given on Driver after Bonesetter had won
the first heat. In the first heat Bonesetter got
the best of the start and won easily on account
of q bad break made by Driver at the eighth
pole. In the second heat the start was. very
nearly even, and it was a neck and neck race
almost the entire circuit of the track, but to-
ward the close Bonesetter came to the front
and won by two lengths. The third was a
repetition of the second heat but Bonesetter
won by four lengths.

greeted Secretary Sherman tonight at City

he might have declined the urgent invitation
Of our Junior senator to address them. MIR.

Mr.. j. =. Doughten Of No. 4l0 Market
street, one Of our most wide awake and
enterprising business men, is having his
elegant store greatly improved by the
addition of one of the most beautiful
and costly ceilings ever seen In this city.
The contractors tor the work are M essrs
Ball aud A uderson, paper hangers, ana
Henry Guerin and VIM. IL. Maystin are
dol ng the work. Mr.. Guerin Is the de-
siguer of the plan on which the work If
done. 70 convey even faint idea OF the
beautiful appearance of the design is i'm
20 NJ BILE, and it IL not OuIy handsome
but unique in arrangement and original
in ,laip. 1t is composed of starting and
emb. sstd fieeced papers and inlays blue
of blue and maroon, and borders and
binders of golc, blue and solid ntre
of EN- bossed gold. The ceiling consists
of four large panels, each OF which, are
arranged with great attention TO har-
mony and variety. and combine togeth-
er in the oriental style.
AS mentioned before, the work is very
costly, and is, beyondla doubt, the most
expensive ever done in this city. Inc
goods are the most costly known to the
papering art, and the work will equal,
if NOT surpass, any similar job to ne
found in Philadelphia. The class OF
work that Messrs. Guerin and Maystln
and doing is even more expensive than
frescoeiny, and is much more desirable
for rich and appropriate colors. The
work will not be completed until some
lime next week, but two panels will be
finished this evening.

Il SOciUk E'ceUf.

One of those pleasant and social events
which takes place in this city during tue
winter months occurred last nisht, the
occasion being the celebration of the
birthday of Mrs. T. b. Merritt. The
affair was managed by Mrs. X. 5. Kirby,
milliner, No. 202 King street.
Early in the evening number Of
ladies' and gentlemen assembled at the
C ,stumes, and shortly after So'clock pro
ceeded in body to the European Hotel.
and marched uuannOunced into the din
Ing room, which was in few minutes
cleared of all unnecessary furniture.
The affair was complete surprise to
Mrs. Merritt, but she soon look in the
situation and busted herself with max.
ing her masked friends feel at home.
After the room had been cleared, dane
ing was commenced, and continued until
near IL o'clock, when those present un-
masked, aid a short intermssion took
place. When the maskers unmasked,
there were of course a great many mutual
surprises. After the interm:ssion dane
ing was resumed and continued until
nearly ! o'clock, when the surprisers
were invited into an adjoining room
where they were surprised by SEEING a
table laden with that which satisfies the
cravings of the hungry. Mrs. Merritt
after the guests had arrived, determined
to surprise them, and she at once ordered
a supper to be prepared for them. The
supper was one of the finest that has
been prepared in this city for some time
the bill of fare consisting ofroast turkey,
chicken, wild duck, oysters, terrapin,
lobster and chicken salads, and in fact
all conceivable edibles. 1t is unneces,
sary to say that the merry maskers dle
| full Justice to the handsome set out. AT
ter all had partaken Of the hospitality
of the hostess, dancing was again re
slmed and continued until the wee sma
hours. The dressing of many of the la
dies was superb, but il would be unJus
to particularize. The event was very
pleasant one and the company tendere'
their thanks for the nights enjoyment tt

JOseTy.

Never before have our lovers of music
beer presented with the opportunity OF
hearing what will really be the finest
performance on the p ano that has ever
taken place in this city, the occasion be-
ing the appearance of Josefiy, who is
acknowledged to be the greatest pianist
in the country, by all the leading papers
of both hemispheres. The Ne" YORK
Sun says:
sit does not seem possible that the e
can be divided opinion as to his great
merit, or any doubt that he will com
mand here the attention and admiration
of all who are interested in pianoforte
playing.
"His personality is conspicuous in
Bach as in Liszt The chef character
istlc of his playing is exquisite flush.
In this direction he is revelation and
a wonder. Other men have fought their
way into public esteem and commanded
admiration by their prodigies of strength,
by their power and endurance and fre'
Joseffy asonishes likewise, but it is
through his repose. He has, to be sure
| the iron hand, bat it is always gloved
with velvet.
"Such extraordinary lightn IS and
delicacy of touch, such perfect sharpness
o. outline and yet such beauty OF detail
we have not before known. BY report
Henselt, Dreyschock, John Field, aht
Chopin, among European pianists, have
been accredited with this style of play
ing. To certain extent, and in the In
pretation OF his own compositions, Cots
chalk had l.. "But Joseffy seems 10 b
the highest expression of art in that di
rection. His grace is as natural and
spont aneous as that of convolvulus
His perfection of technique is so grea
that it does not even suggest the dill
culties of the pieces that he plays, o
which C .rtaiuly no works can contain
more than Bach's chromatic fugue OF
Liszt's concerto.
"Joseffy is also, as far as notes go,
fautless player. The titanic Rubinstel,
in his bursts of vehemence and strength
struck many false notes, and was care
less whether he did or not, so that h
!, exp essed his purpose. But Joseffy Is {
another school, ard though he by II
, means lacks either fire or strength, W
believe that it will be through the oppt
, site qualities that he will make his che
effects. If an apostle were needed
convince the pianists OF this day an
generation OF the beauty OF repose an
The worth of perfect finish, that apostl
! has been found in Josetfy."

Miss Nelson.

Mr.. George X. Goodwin, of the Wal
nut Street Theatre, Philade 'phia, begs to
announce to the citizens of Wilmington
that he has arranged with Mr.. Max
Strakosch for one farewell programme OF
Miss Nelson, England's greatest actress
and the foremost representative OF
Shakespearian heronies on Monday
evening Nov. 10th. Miss Nelson will
appear in Shakespeare's dainty comedy
OF "Twelfth Night" which will be given
with the same company that are now
playing to crowded houses at Walnut
Street Theatre, Phi a. The sale of seats is
now ready At g. F. Thomas u Co.'s
bookstore, at the usual prices. AS this
will be the only chance the Wilmington
people will ever have of seeing this great
artist it would be well for all to procure
their seats at once. The following is
from the Philadelphia Inquirer, with
reference to Miss Nelson's celebrated
character of Viola:
''Last night Miss Nelson appeared in
the character of "Viola," in Shakespeare s
exquisite comedy of T,ce!tth Night. The
impression this great artist created on
this occasion, before one of the largest
and most cultured audiences ever assem-
bied in this theatre was not as favorable
as that of her original appearance, in the
part. 1t was still full OF most delicate
and fibrous beauty, sentient with the
very spirit of elevated and refined COM
edy.
There is wondrous range of sweet
sounds in her voice, and last night
while in "Viola's" merry, baEtering
moods, she sometimes failed to react
the mark she aimed at, and seemed as Il
her wit Knocked her own physical o
mental suffering, yet in the more earn
est or pathetic portions of the play sh'
rose to great heights of excellence ant
commanded universal applause.
One of the surprises of the evenin!
was the "Malvolio" of Mr.. Compton.
was such one as our stage has not wit
messed since William Wheatley or Pete
ltichiugs played the part. Mr.. Comp
toms "Malvolio" was a scholarly pre-
sentation of the character, worked GU
with rare skill and conscientious fidelity
"Malvolio" has, during late years, beel
played toa often by clowns as clown-
mist AXE that the fine intelligence of MI
Compton avoided.

certificate aud the young lady went to

to his boarding house. They thought
no more about the matter until short
