THE SCIENCE OF DRIVING.
Exfrncfs From an English Book of an Ex-
ceedingIy Authoritative Character.

ceedingIy Authoritative Character.
New York Sum-, s-'..i et
Hints for driving of an unusually author
itative character are found in book re-
Gently published in England on that art,
from the pens of several contributors of re-
cognized experience.
The Duke of Beaufort, for instance, says
thatIthe whip should be held at the collar,
the silver plate about ten inches from the
end. Two-hsnded driving is protested
against. ''The right hand has no sort of
business to touch the reins, except for
the purpose of shortening or lengthen-
ing one or both of them, or of supporting
the LETT hand should it require assistance" !"
such as holding puller or in turning. For
driving four horses "the driving hand (the
left) should be straight in the center of
your body, with the knuckles of your hand
to the front and your forearm exactly square
to the upper arm" Then "having seated
himself on the box, the coachman should
put forth his feet close together. His left
hand should be about where the top of his
trousers would come-that is, the forearm
pretty nearly or absolutely horizontal-the
hand almost, if not quite, in the center of
the body, with the back of his fingers and
his knuckles straight to the front"
Another contributor, Lord Algernon st.
Maur, says: GAS to your reins, they should
be held as near your heart as possible, if
you happen to have one; if not, where your
heart ought to be-" The expounder of tan
dem driving is Lady Georgina Curzon.

PETERSBURG, W. VA, May 23.-There
are large number of strangers in the city
from all parts of the State in attendance
upon the musical festival, and among them
are some of the most prominent anti
Mahoneites in Virginia. Your correspond
ent talked with leading representative of
this faction to-day, as to the prospects of
harmonizing the Republican party in Vir-
ginia. He said that the anti-Mahoneites of
the State indorsed the sentiments expressed
by Ex-Governor Cameron and the Hon. John
S. Wise, in Richmond, some weeks ago,
which were to the effect that there was no
earthly chance of bringing the two factions
together in harmony so long as Malone re-
mained the dictator that he is.
'There will be no surrender" he said, $50

AN EVENING WITH WAGNER.
Selections From the Great Masters Best
Works on To-N Nights Programme.


Works on To-Nighi's Programme.
The strongest miscellaneous programme
of Wagner's music yet given in Pittsburg
is offered at the festival this evening. The
chorus has nothing whatever to do but the
increasingly efficient orchestra will have
its hands full all evening in handling
a number of the richest and most elaborate
scores ever penned. Five of the chief soloists
in the festival list appear in parts that
with only one or two exceptions, they are
especially fitted to interpret; and, with
the authoritative and mastery conductorship
all. the evening promises rare things for all
admirers and students of the Titan of the mod
ern music-drama.
1t is in his later period when his revolution
ary art.theories had reached full development,
that Wagner is chiefly represented tonight.
"Lohengrin" completed 1918; produced 1855 by
Liszt at Weimar) was the final achievement
OF the long preparatory period; the last work
done before undertaking the tremendous
series of music dramas known as the

beheld the holy knight who was to be her cham
pion in the ensuing combat Miss Juch will
sing it.
Though "Tannhauser'' preceded 'Lohen-
grin" by some three years, and in its original
shape belongs to the preparatory period, the
bacchanale and the duet Henus, Mrs. Lehmann-
Kalisch; IdnnhGuser, Mr.. Kalisch) to be given
tonight, were entirely rewritten for the disas-
trous Paris production in 1851 While the SUBJ
ject matter is from the original score,
the orchestration and general treatment
present the Wagner of Tristan" and the
"Nibelungen." The brilliant and tuneful
march to be played tonight is evidently from
the earlier period.
The rest of the programme is from the
"Walknere," the second, and the "Goetter-
daemmerung," the last of the four
dramas of the "Nibelungen-Ring" Miss
Juch and Mr.. Perotti will sing the
beautiful love duet from the former, and Mr..
Fischer will give Wotdns farewell
from the latter, SieGfrieds death scene

programme most worthily. G. WIS.
