Rarker,s MusieaIe.

Barker & Co. B musicale at room 15 Insur-
 ance building last evening proved, notwith-
 standing the rain, very successful affair,
 not only in attendance, a large number be- ing present, but in the excellent manner in
 which the fine and varied programme was given.
 We would especially mention Mir. George E. Eaeer's remarkable rendering of that diff ficult arrangement of Leopold de Meyers, the
 s'Tableaux Characteristiques," and Gold beck's Dreaming by the Brook, |" each re- ouiring the most perfect execution. Miss Alice Fechter added greatly to the enjoyment of all present and sang first the song Star of Love, with violin obligato by Mr. W. E. Haesche, and then the Ave Maria by-Luz- zi in an artistic and finished manner, both showing her full rich and pure soprano voice | to advantage Did space permit we should like to write more fully about all, but will simply state that Miss Kirschmer rendered her selection in her usual happy manner and good voice. The solo of Mir. Charles Mann. the Poet and Peasant overture for two pianos, the piano duet by Miss Si- monds and Mr. Bolles, and the exquisite playing of Chopin's nocturne by Miss Long, all deserve special mention. The mando- line solo and guitar duet by Messrs J. H. Williams and Walter D. Gruett, of Hartford, received hearty encore and put the audi ence in the best of humor. We hope Messrs. Barker 6 Go. will repeat this most pleasing musicale.

TROUBLE AMONG THE APPLE RAIsERs.


 A man from New York city has been here for about two weeks contracting for winter apples for shipment, as he says, to England. He gives out that he wants ten thousand bushels. He advances from five dollars to ten, according to given purchase. His pro posal was to furnish barrels, send a packer and give seventy-fve cents barrel for the apples. The seller was also to take from the station the empty barrels and return them filled to the station. This week he has called here for hun dreds of barrels of apples to be placed for shipment at our station. To the great sur prise of every apple seller the contractor sends on a boss packer and boss "barrel- header, and claims that the apple seller must pay these bosses, paying them large day wages. The apple sellers feel that they have been imposed on in this regard. What they say constitutes good sized chorus of wicked utteranees. Counting the whole cost of landing their apples at the station, the sellers are row thinking that they will be fortunate if they realize thirty five cents barrel. And some are wondering if the person who has deceived them in the matter of packing the apples and heading up the barrels will not farther deceive them when they render their bills. stSuch a life." Apples in all this re- zion are as fair and large as they are abun- dant. We have just seen measured one of at least 8 bushel of apples, northern spies, taken from 8 small tree, measuring twelve and one-eighth inches in circumference. Oct 21
