In our editorial columns the facts about
the great granite lockout are concisely
stated. At West Dummerston quarry all
the union men are out, but work is being
carried on in small way with non-union
help.
+. j. Carey has been in town this week
for a brief visit previous to his departure
for Eau Claire, Wis. where he has bought
a half interest in and is to become manag-
er of the Eau Claire Extract company.
The business of the Thorn Medicine com
pany, of which Mr.. Carey has been man
ager since its removal from Brattlehoro to
Fitchburg, Mass, and in which he was
previously interested, is in a prosperous
condition, but the opening at Eau Claire is
too advantageous to be refused After
trip through New England Mr.. Ca
rey will leave for Eau Claire. The Fitch
burg Sentinel says that he has zone of the
best chances ever offered to a young man"
and that he "leaves with the best wishes
of all who know him. The Boston
Globe says that during his residence at
Fitchburg lie 'has made host of friends,
who will regret his departure. He is a
hustling business man, and his prospects
for future advancement are the brightest"
The notices of other papers are very com
plimentary. Mr.. Carey experience in the
business which he is to follow and his
characteristic energy are sure TO bring sue
cess. His many Battleboro friends are
glad to know of his advancement and of
his bright prospects.
THE BOSTON FESTIVAL CONCERT.
A large and very appreciatiye audience
greeted Herr Mullenhauer as he stepped to
the conductors platform on Monday even
ing. Nearly, perhaps quite, every seat was
sold, and never, apparently, was there more
expectancy manifest in faces than on that
evening. II wonld be supererogatory to
attempt to write critically of such a con
certsNhen every member of the Organiza-
ton seemed literally en- rapport, and con-
trlbuted to the fullest extent to the enjoy
ment of the audience.
OF course there was universal regret
that Miss Stewart was unable to appear,
but there was the added privilege of hear
ing Messrs Mockridge and Heinrich a sec
Ond time. The Festival orchestra is well
constituted for festival work; for our small
hall there was perhaps a prepOnderance
of brass but ii was, generally speaking, jul
diciously used For an orchestra of com
paratively recent organization there was
noticeable sympathy and responsiveness to
the leaders baton diminuendo and ere
scendo, ritardando and accelerando being
well observed Especially noticeable were
the attack and the accent in the
Scherzo by Mendelssohn. 1t is safe to say
that there has never been such an aggrega-
ton of artists in the hall before this.
Special notice should be made of the
marvellous trombone playing by Mr.. Stew
art: few in the audience have realized the
possibilities in that somewhat frequently
maligned instrument. OF Franz Rummel
it may he said that with the exception of
Mr.. Sherwood no remote approximation in
piano playing has ever been heard here,
and in Mr.. Sherwood's case there was no
accompaniment of string or brass. 1t was
fairly and tremendously electrfying and
the audience were wild with enthusiasm.
The singing of Mr.. Woodbridge was of
high order and most satisfying. The reci-
tative preceding the aria. Celeste Aida,
reyerential treatment dramatic and must
cianly power, and commended itself to all.
After the introduction to Mr.. Heinrich in
the thrilling scene from Lohengrin, which
was magniticently rendered by a magnifi-
cent ringing voice. the audience were
treated to genuine and most delicious
surprise when he seated himself at the pi-
ano, half turning toward them, and sang
with the utmost delcacy a triplet of Eng
fish ballads Ii was in some respects the
most delightful feature of the evening; he
just took his listeners right around him
and sang to them because he loved to-
The "Andante" for strings was the
most delicate bit from the orchestra and
was well given.
Brattleboro is deeply indebted 10 Mr..
Stewart and his friends for a most enjoya-
bic evening.
