.Coals 70 Newcastle, :,

Importing vegetables from Europe seems
like sending Goals to Newcastle" but the
United States has done considerable of the
business since January 1st. 1t has been esti-
mated that at least 10000 bushels of potatoes
have been imported at this port, for the most
part from Scotland, while in New York about
1900, 900 bushels have been received. These
potatoes cost % cents bushel abroad but sold
here at an average of 20 cents. At 15cents a
bushel the revenue to the government from
those imported at Portland, must have been
$4,000. And yet potatoes have been but one
article of agricultural products received from
abroad. German pea-beans have bsen inn
ported owing the cost of American. OF course
these imports weredue to failures in our own
crops last year, but they seem singular for all

disclosed in the play that he wrote as follows:
ssThe leading character is to my limited ex-
perience purely original, and SO wonderfully
we'll done that have found myself wondering
whether you have not got hold of genuine
Yale scholar with turn for the stage. There
are touches in his acting that | have never
seen surpassed. In the first act he is really
wonderful!-so dry and yet SO juicy. Permit
me to thank you for the absolute cleanness and
innocency of the play. shall always remem-

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
EMMANUEL

| EmmANbELs
The Haydns gave splendid performance OF
DIR. Joseph Parry's Emmanuel" to its friends
and associate members at Union Hall last
/ evening.
This oratorio was presented to the Haydn
Association by VIM. e. Gould, Esq, last fall i,
since which time the society has been rehears-
ing it, The work was imported expressly Tor
| the association-the author holding the posi-
ton of professor of music at the University
College of Wales-and is a new production.
| With the exception of the double chorus
near the end of the oratorio, the
entire work was given 1t is doubtful, NOT
withstanding the fine concerts given in the
past, if the Haydns have ever shown sucn
| wonderful choral shading and phrasing as that
| of last evening. The solos for the most part
| are rather devoid of interest and possess no
| striking features, the grandeur of the work APP
pearing in its choruses.
The oratorio opens with soprano solo,
Emmanuel Jehovah in the fesb," followed
Immediately by the male chorus, "This was
the grand refrain of ancient song" which is
again followed by the great chorus, Shout for
joy, We heavens which calls forth the full
powers OF the society. 1t would be difficult 70
partioularize the rendition of either OF inc
chorus NUMBER. The work abounds in synco-
patton which renders it all the more severe,
but the performance last evening showed how
we'll the society had learned to conquer all dill
fculties under the conscientious discipline Oh
Mr.. Ketzschmar. The force and precision OF
attack in many of the syncopated passages
were at times almost startling Nothing can
be more wild than the chorus, Mature trem-
bled,'' with the following number, "Jehoyah's
ire was kinded, as well as the scene before
Pontius PLATE where the people cry for the re-
lease of Barabbas A very beautiful number
for chorus is the "Alasl has man transgressed,"
as is also the double chorus, I'VE magnify and
glorify Thy name,' while the number, "Ten
thousand shining worlds display" for quar-
tette and chnrna fnoiy give. The oratc-
rio also contains several beautiful choral NUM-
bers.
The soprano solos were sustained by Miss
Nettie Milliken in her usually careful and art
istic manner, while the contralto solos by Mrs.
Morrison were rendered with dignity and
strength. The tenor role was taken by Mr..
Win Stockbridge, in place Of Mr.. Pennell
who was suffering from a severe cold. Mr..
Stockbridge's singing is always characterized
by correct method and painstaking effort, and
his numbers were delivered smoothly and art
istically. Mr.. Mcclellan of Bath sang the BARI
tone portion of the work carefully and dra-
matically.
Mr. Kotzschmar conducted with his accus-
toned earnestness and magnetic influence,
Miss Jordan performed her trying duties as
accompanist faithfully and skilfully. We
must join the Haydns in their wish that they
may soon have better hall and one that will
permit their excellent performances to do
themselves and the music greater justice.
