MUSIC AND DRAMA.

THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Last evening the second and last of the
symphony concerts in the Stockbridge course
was given at City Hall. On this occasion
Herr Nikisch brought with him sixty-eight
musicians in order to give fuller and grander
effect to the numbers that graced the pro-
gramme. The selections were admirable,
and the concert will long be remembered as
one Of the finest our musical people have ever
enjoyed.
The concert opened with that superb piece
OF orchestration, the Tannhauser overture.
Many times as it has been heard here it
seemed as If last nights rendering surpassed
all others. The tempo was very clear and
distinctly marked. The brasses obtained the
prominence that Wagner assigned them, and
that is necessary in order to give the grand
effects that are a distinguishing feature of
the work. The pidnissinao passages display
ed great delicacy of treatment, and the whole
rendering was characterized by precision.
The Peer-Gynt suite-a full description of
which was given in yesterdays PREss--af-
forded evident pleasure even to the hyper
critical. The contrast between the several
numbers, the careful manner in which they
were rendered, the many beauties disclosed,
and the manner in which the band played as
one man, showed the great command Herr
Nikisch had over his men. The funeral
march was remarkable in respect to the way
the pianissimo effects were handled, and the
grotesque and effective way in which the or
chestra portrayed the imps following and
tormenting Peer-Gynt, was admirably set
forth. The waltz of Anitra was extremely
graceful and dainty. So pleased was the
audience that they demanded an encore,
which MFR. Nikisch kindly favored them
with.
The Beethoven Symphony was something
long to be remembered. The nearer was
taken out of himself, wholly wrapt in that
magnificent composition so superbly pre-
sented. The Symphony has always charmed
whenever it has been given here, and last
night fifty closed an evening of unalloyed en-
joyment.
The soloist last evening was Herr Kneisel,
the concertmaster, who during the last sea-
son welded the baton in place of Herr
Gericke His Interpretation of the beautiful
Mendelssohn concerto and Ernsti's "Air
Hongrois" was characterized by great bril-
llancy. rare delicacy and deep feeling.

Ward Seven,

The services of Mr.. Chas. R. Lewis in the
City Council for the past two years, are re-
cognized by many Republicans as emitting
this gentleman to their hearty support as
candidate for alderman from that ward for
the faithful and hon t purposes that have
characterized his actions in all matters per-
tanning to the best interests Of the city. He
has always taken firm and manly stand
for what he believed to be for the good of all
the people without regard to politics. Mr..
Lewis is bright, brainy business man,
held in high esteem by the best business
men of Portland, and will make a creditable
representative of the city in its higher board
as he has done in the council branch.

UMBRELLAS.
~ A timely topic is

For the next two months
you'll need to make a con-
slant companion of an UNI
brella, and if there's any
truth in the adage that "a
man is known by the COM
pany he keeps" It's quite
as true that the character
OF the Umbrella he carries
has a big influence on his
social rating.
1t pays to buy a good
one.
You take the greater
pride in its ownership, you
are not half SO likely to
leave it at the first stop

Ia cheap umbrella is
common property in more
ways than one) and it is
surer protection against a
hard driving storm; besides
a good one costs but a hzfze
more than a poor one, and
maybe that's the strongest
argument of all.
Today we'll sell a lot OF
26 inch gloria cloth rain

frames and silver handles
at $3.50. They're easily
worth $500.
Later on we'll tell you
about some other Umbrel-
