SATURDAY SALAD.
PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

|
The people of Santa Fe are blessed il
many particulars. Nowhere probably il
the territory is the taste for music Sc
strongly developed or so carefully cult
waited as here. For years this has been
the military headquarters, for years has
the post band RECALLED the citizens with
choice selections from the best masters, in
the afternoon plaza concerts. That this
musical feast has whetted the appetites
of the people who can deny? That re-
suit which proves the inherent love Of
the people for the science of sweet strains
has been reached is only natural
sequence. Whether this natural encour-
agement for love Of harmony inherent
in the people has had much weight, it is
certain that the amateur talent of Santa
Fe is second to nothing in the territory
This WAS evidenced Tuesday evening at
the concert of the Philharmonic orchestra
at the capitol building.
Long befoR the hour announced the
beautiful hall Of the house of representa-.
tives was crowded with the best Of the
society in the territory, the ladies equal,
ing if not exceeding the gentlemen in
numbers and attention to the delightful
performance.
From the first number on the pro-
gram, overture from Mozarts Magic
Flute" to the concluding fantasia, "Coney
Island" the attention of the audience was
riveted, and stranger would hardly have
supposed that the enjoyment vas the
contribution of amateurs, some of the
numbers being rendered in manner
that would have been creditable to pro
fessionals.
OF the features which would seem tc
require special attention it would be al
most invidious to remark. Golden
Moon" by Mr.. L. A. Hughes, with &C.
compartment by Mrs. T. l.. Bartlett, re.
ceived as it deserveda tlattering reception
"Never to Know" sweet ballad by Mar
zials, was deliciously rendered by Mrs
F. w. Clancy.
Perhaps there was nothing finer in the
whole program than Sir Arthur Sullivan
beautiful ballad, "Let Me Dream Again.
Those who have been fortunate enough
to hear Mrs. Max Frost's sweet and sym
pathetic voice may possibly realize the
treat given the audience in her rendering
of this exquisite old favorite.
Mr.. Vincent Lawrence's cello solo
"Slumber Song" was very fine, and the
young gentleman gave evidence of a tai
ent which will develop into something
more than the average.
Mr.. Il, W. Knaebel's song, 'Lakes Of
Killarney" deserved ,he rapturous encore
it received, and it must be said the gentle.
man bore his honors modestly.
THE Trip to Coney Island" the con-
Guiding number, was more than fine, and
more than any other portion of the pro-
gram perhaps showed the high degree OF
perfection attained by the Philharmonic
orchestra under its talented conductor

| ANEW MEXICO MAN ABROAD.
Says the New York Daily Graphic Col
Joe Dryer of New Mexico, who is here
for few days arranging the transfer Of
his ranches Bnd cattle to the American
Meat company, is one of the large ranch
owners and cattle raisers of his territory
He is man of diminutive stature, but q
big head and bigger heart. He is stout
Of girth, with a kindly face of the rugged
type, surrounded by q light brown beard.
The colonel is an ardent Republican, and
did his level best to carry the territory for
Republican representative in congress.
| He has been mentioned for governor oil
the territory under President Harrison,
! who is expected to carry out the pledge
in the Republican platform that the Off
GERS of the territories shall be selected
from citizens of the territories. This
pledge has been given in both the Repub-
leans and Democratic platforms for three
campaigns, 1t was part of the doctrine
to which President Cleveland subscribed.
but was not carried into effect by him.
If President Harrison lives up to the rule
Col. Dryer may exchange his title for
governor. AS practical ranchman and
cattle grower, besides being somewhat
conversant with mining, he would be
fully equipped to promote the territory by
promoting its three great industries.

The reception given to the Right Rev.
j. NJ. Kendrick, by the ladies Of the Guild

hotel for the occasion, the sincere thanks
Of the people and the clergyman OF the

pleasant hum of refined, well modulated
voices harmonized with the bright in
telligent faces that smiled their welcome

right man had been selected for the office
of chief pastor Of this jurisdiction and, if
sincere wishes of success can aid in
smoothing the rugged path which must
needs be traversed by one who faithfully
discharges the duties imposed upon Bishop
Kendrick, the good people of Santa Fe
have, Individually, contributed great
deal toward cheering and sustaining him
