AT OSBORN HALL,

MT. Fl. E. Krehbiels Lecture on ssThe
 Precursors of She Pianoforse'' Illus.
 trased by mr. Stelnerts Collection of
 Keyed Instruments.
 What was without doubt the most interest. ing lecture ever given here on any similar subject was that by Mir. H. E. Krehbiel on the history of the planoforte before large and cultivated audience at Osborn hall last evening. The lecture showed that MT. Kreh- biel had given the subject careful and ex- haustive study, and yet 1t was delivered in an easy conversational style that at once won the attention of all present and entertained as we'll as instructed them. The history of the pianoforte from the one-stringed guitar of the Yaquima Indians to Steinwsy's latest sooncert grand" was traced briefly and illus trated by the now celebrated collection of stringed instruments owned by MT. M. Stein ert of this city. Many of these instruments, including harpsiohord, spinet, clavichord and antique square piano, were exhibited by Mr. Steinert, whose playing elicited the heartiest applause.
 Mr. Krehbiel is an exceptionally interesting lecturer. In the frst place he is careful student and an acute critic. For several years he has been the musical critic of the New York Tribune and he Is an acknowledged authority on music and musicians. Then, too, he is a graceful writer, as his recent arti- cls on Wsgner's operas published in Harper's magazine fully proves. But in addition to these indispensable qualities he has the rarer one of charming stage presence and @ directness of statement that makes his lecture seem about one-half of It's real length. His hearers went away last evening knowing that they had been instructed and feeling that they had been entertained.
 MT. Carl Ansorge played several selections on the various instruments exhibited by MT. Steinert and concluded the entertainment by performing Liszt's Twelfth Rhapsodie, which was we'll received. -'@

THE ICE QUESTION.
The Battle Between the Consumers Association and che Local COmpaniel ana Dealers.

1he Battle Between the Consumers'
 Association and the Local Companies
 ana Dealers.
 The struggle between the ice dealers and the Consumers' association formed recently goes on apace. The former have fixed the price for the summer at seventy five cents per hundred pounds to large and $1 per hun dred to small consumers. The association considers this exhorbitant, and that they aps compelled to pay great deal more than is necessary, and they threaten to either give up using ice entirely or import 1t themselves direct from Maine, If the dealers refuse to come down with their prices.
 On the other hand, the dealers say that they cannot sell it for any less than the rates they have already named. At least half of every cargo of ice brought from Maine melts en route, and 1t costs just as much to handle 1t and cart 1t to the ice houses after 1t arrives at the wharf as 1t does to harvest it from the lakes here in winter; then there is Q further shrinkage, while the ice is lying in the store- houses, 80 that considerably over half of the ice that the dealers pay for in Maine is lost before 1t can be delivered to the consumers here. The dealers will undoubtedly remain firm and adhere to the present rates. The association announced yesterday that If the price was not lowered to-day as asked 1t would proceed to get ice from Maine, where 35,000 tons could be had at low figure.
