TONS have always been regarded as strik-
ing and original The San Francisco
Chronicle of recent date contained the fol-
lowing description of Mr.. Tolmie's recital:
he opened the programme with a Beethoven
sonata, opRs 81. No. 8, and Immediately aroused
a rapt interest in tie audience. Il is said of
THIS composition that it is the most cheerful
ard Tree from restraint that the great master
ever wrote. The exquisite soirees-de-rieane by
schubert and Liszt, among other numbers, was
heartily received. II is difficult TO say in which
number Mr.. Tolmie excelled. but in the A-fas
Poionaise of Chopin, where great power of exc
cution and dexterous phrasing are required, he
showed himself more than equal TO the occasion
and exceeded all expectations of his audience.
There is expression in every movement, and he
throws himself body and soul into the spirit OF
the composition. The other numbers were all
enthusiastically applauded. Mr.. Tolmie closed
the programme with the List Rhspsodie No.
IL ana II Is not often that an audience, COM
posed mainly OF people from san Francisco aud
oakland, listen so closely and with such appre-
ciation as that of last night.

TO CREATE A DIVERSION.
Would-Be Robbers After Gold Smash
the Windows.


Some miscreant hurled two large stones
through the windows of G. B. Sanborn 8
secondhand store on Ballard avenue, Bal
lard, on Friday night. Mr.. Sanborn was
talking to one of the night watch
men in his store just before clos
ing for the night, when he was
startled by two loud crashes, and two large
stones whizzed past his head. He thinks
it was an ignorant and bungling plan
to create some excitement, which would
take him from the vicinity of his store and
give the would-be robbers chance to steal
some gold which he had been paid during
the day in the presence of some suspicious
characters. He told the policemen of his
suspicious and the rascals may yet be
caught. He says he had placed the gold
in safe in town and if he had gone away
the robbers could not have succeeded in
getting it.
