The Midsummer Night Concert at the
Hotel Kenmawr so far has been composed
of two postponements and one promise.
When the Kenmawr management consented
to permit the use of the lawn for a concert,
Mr.. Gates, having Mr.. Kuhn's assent, ar
ranged for performance on Saturday, July
2. making preparations accordingly. For
convenience to East End people box office
was established in the Kenmawr and under
its care, where an advance sale took place.
Then Mr.. Gates engaged number of i'm
portant local musical people, contracted for.
the building of stage, and, at the same
time, TOR other needed paraphernalia.
Until late on the afternoon of Saturday
the public was not aware that the concert
had been deferred, general intimntion being
first given by an evening paper. Mr.. Gates
said he was treated to an almost equally
scant measure of warning Mrs. Paul Zim-
norman, whose husbands name was among
those of the performers on the programme,
had been seriously ill, and by Saturday her
life even was apprehended. Mr.. Kuhn sug-
gested to Mr.. Gates that it would be be-
coming act to defer the concert until the
crisis had passed, and, moreover, that the
music might disturb the invalid, whose rooms
look out ON that part of the grounds. Then
the concert was announced for Thursday.
Thursday came, but the lawn of the Kenmawr
looked provokingly deserted, with chairs
rees, no evidences of stage, people. nor
concert, condition of affairs that filed
the air with the complaints OF disappointed
people. Anyone who chose to call up the
kenma WI Hotel by telephone was informed
that the concert was again deferred on Mrs.
Zimmerman's account. At this juncture
Mr.. Gates grew tired of .postponements for
which he was blamed. He requested
an explanation from Mr.. Kuhn, who said
| that Mr. Gates business methods did not
engage his profound regard, and that the
connection with fail ure. Mr.. Gates an
| swered rather warmly that his own particu-
lar shoulders would bear all burden of fail
ure. Mr.. Kuhn objected to holding the
money realized by the advance sale and told
Gates so. Gates demanded $40 of it, re-
ce1yed it and gave receipt. The
plain speaking between the two gentlemen
caused them to part coldly and when Mr.
Gates sent out his men to build the stage
yesterday Mr.. Kuhn positively declined to
allow the lawn to be tampered with and told
the matter, that not only was the concert
not to be given on the COMING Saturday, but
for all time. Mr.. Gates uttered threats,
which Mr.. Kuhn ca1len "bluffs,' but never
theless, the concert does not come of until
Tuesday, July l9, and then it will be given
instead at Silver Lake.
1t will be remembered that somewhat
similar trouble grew out of the performance
OF You Like It' in the Kenmawr grounds
last summer and Mr.. Kuhn cited that as a
reason for feeling timid about a second ex-
perience.
Mr.. Kuhn was heard early in the week ex-
pressing himself with some concern as to
whether or not the Kenmawr management
would be charged with the disastrous post
ponements, which were not OF his making,
but for Il later expression of his views he
was sought vainly Tor last night.
Many little girls when they were inter-
lovely punches of flowers, the giver of which
was always incognto- Miss Elizabeth
Tindle the popular young daughter Of DR..
Tindle, Of Penn avenue. frequently takes
this agreeable way OF expressing her SYM
pathy with young friends to whom sickness
has been lengthy visitor Miss Tindle in
variably cautions the flower shop to conceal
her personality in the matter, but an on
locker once saw the "whole game" and Miss
Tindle's kind and lovely plots thus came to
light.
A wedding interesting in itself, but par
ticularly so for another circumstance, was
celebrated yesterday morning. The cere-
mony took place in Trinity Catholic Church,
corner Center and Fulton streets, and since
the bride and groom are musical loving peo-
pie, the service of music was extremely
elaborate. The Cathedral Band, under the
direction of Thomas Kirk, Sr, with Mr..
Frederick Lane as organist, rendered the
new Italian mass by Mario, which has just
recently been presented in the Cathedral.
As nothing but Cecilian music is sung in
Trinity, special permission had to be
sought for from the Carmellite Fathers, who
most graciously granted the request.
In an endeavor to introduce as many of
the characteristics OF Cicilian music as WAS
possible, all the solos were sung by chorus
of similar voices-a difficult undertaking
when there is no preparation, and which re-
1ected much credit upon Mi. Kinks leader
ship.
The bride and bridegroom around whom
this interesting occasion centered were Miss
Boegle and Mr.. John Hegerle. Both are
members of the Cathedral choir, and the
bride is daughter of the late organist of
the church in which her nuptials were cele-
brated so prettily yesterday morning.
A pretty private wedding occurred last
evening at the residence of James Harrison,
1856 Webster avenue, Pittsburg. Thescon
tracting persons were Mr.. George W. Bick-
nell and Miss Mollie Harrison. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. j. T.
McCrory, of the Third United Presbyterian
Church. The bridemaids were Miss Maggie
Harrison and Miss Mamie Harrison, OF
Ridge avenue, Pittsburg. The sroomsmen
bride; Mr.. Charles A. Smith, Joseph p Pat
ton, of Pittsburg, and MIR. Robert Beck, of
Columbus. o. They were the recipients of
many useful and costly presents.
Williamsburg turned out almost en- masse
to the first annual lawn carnival of Cres-
cent Commandery No. 10, U. A. NJ, held last
night at the corner of South and Center
streets. This is the place at which the fire.
mems lawn fete was held week or two ago,
and it is exactly fitted to the requirements
of this description of entertainment There
was well selected programme of music,
opening with the "Star Spangled Banner,"
and including numbers from several OF the
famous composers, which was rendered by
the American Military Orchestra. Ice cream,
lemonade and other refreshments, were dis
pensed by the following ladies: Miss Emma
ID. Nagle Miss Lizzie Baird, Mrs. III. N.
Howe, Mrs. j. NJ. Sarver, Miss Gertrude
Helling and Miss Bessie Little. The gem
eral committee was as follows: Messrs-
John A. Jones, J. NJ Saruer, 7. II. Tyson, L.
d. Little and r. NJ. McGinnis. The weather
was propitious, and there was nothing to
mar the pleasure of the evening.
