"Take q good look at the boats my boy,"
said a proud father to his little son,
perched on bis shoulders standing on tne
banks of Riverside drive yesterday nitet-
noon, Take a good look and remember
what you see; IL is siRht tnAt your
father never saw, or your srsnmutssner sm ,e
before him, and one that you Will never
realized the truth OF what the man
said. and stood little longer and looked
q little harder myself In consequence.
These great war vessels, represenilngt ten
michty nations of the world, will prob
ably never visit us again, unless they
should come at our next Columbus Cen.
tennial celebration,, when, as the poet
says, we will be
"Dead and forgotten,
And all cur bones rotten"
Today the feet breaks up, and the vea-
sells that have stood side by side in friend
ly intercourse for the past two weeks,
will bid farewell to each other and to
America, and each one sail her own way.
III were q clergyman, l would make
sermon out of this situation, but as am
neither q clergyman nor Mayor of Canton,

Der OF sailors, deserters who prooably
have found New York so attractive that
they have determined to remain here and
become aldermen and legislators.
BONANZA FOR FAKIRs.
Riverside drive has been a perfect boz
nanzA for fAkirs of all descriptions dur
ing this naval fleet anchorage. There was
the plib-tongued man with the Christie
pher Columbus cough drops, each pack'
age OF which was warranted ITO contain q
fine picture OF the great discoverer."
There was the man with views OF New
York "only twenty-five cents;" the man
with small flags of all nationsi the gum
drop man the chewing gum and Ice cream
candy man; the banana peddleri the
lemonade man who sang;
"R--oll up, tumble up, any way to get
up, II Eou can't get up throw your money
up"
Then the man who called:
"RiRht this way ladies ana gentlemen,
For your nice cool lemonade,
Made in the shade, by an old maid,
Stirred with spade,
Ninety feet under ground by light OF
diamond"
Another fellow with lemon drops called
out:
"Buy pot of lemon candy
It's good and tart and always handy,
There's a prize in every bloomin' pot,
A barrel OF flour or house and lot.
Don't be afraid of being sold
Perhaps you'll draw ton OF coal.".
This man proved to be very popular and
did a paying business, but his "tons of
coal" and "house and lotn were either
diamond pins, rings, or studs or pictures
of George Washington.
A LITTLE old man all skin and bones sold
lead pencils and pens with Mrs. Cleve'
lands picture in them" His little old
wife, also skin and bones, stood behind
him and with her handkerchief wiped the
tears from his eyes. This operation puzs |
zled me little. Perhaps IL was done TO |
arouse sympathy and assist Ia the sale of |
his goods.
RECITALs AND MCsIcALs.
The afternoon recital, lecture or musi. |
cal has en- quite q feature in the vocal |
world this season. These affairs are |
usually given in hotel psrlors by pro- |
fessionals, who send out invitations invit- |
ing you TO attend and announcing that |
the tickets may be secured at Hotel
~ OF 60, ueNeT Aebb huGu luhbs
This invitation also bears a list
of patronesses, social luminaries, who give
eclat to the entertainment by their en-
dorssment, A truly delightful affair Of
this nature WAS the musical and literary |
recital given by MAdemoiselle Lataille,
the renowned Partisan lecturer and elocu-
ZIONIST, assisted by Mr.. Henri Marteau,
the phenomenal violin virtuoso and em-
inent soloist, at Hotel Brunswick. My /
invitation came through the courtesy of
Mr.. Wade Chance, who assisted
MADEMoIsELLE LATAILLE
with the recital; and everything moved
off like clock work. Mauemoiselle La
taille has charming personality and .
voice that makes you think OF Rhea's, IL
Is so full of passion and pathos, and so
delicious in timbre. She recited selections
from Victor Hugo and Manuel, and .
dainty bit Of poetic fancy OF her own. 1t
was all in French, and vas sealed book
to those who did not know the language,
or who only knew enough to order a
meal, or ask the time OF day, or what
train to take to certain place. However,
there is enough In the music OF her voice,
the shades of expression on her ever
changing face, and the dramatic fervor OF
her actir q, to rivet the attention and 10
make one forget that all languages are
not the same.
Henri Marteau, the vielinist, who has
been aharing honors with PAderewski this
season, and who came to this country uns
known and burst upon US like dynamite
bomb, played in his usual mAsterful man.
ner. i never heard such violin playing; |
such q wonderful tone, such magnificent |
technique, and withal such uD usual repose
of manner. While be is playing he be-
comes utterly absorbed in his music, and
watching his face, Ii seems as though he
10 looking far beyond the present scene,
and trAnslatinR on his instrument the
poem which was being sung In his soul.
HE WILL COME TO CANTON.
NJ. MArteau is not only superb musi-
clan, but an accomplished and delightful
gentleman, whom everybody likes.
asked him IL he was besieQed with auto
graph and photograph fiends, and he gave
me TO understand that life was not an
pleasant as II might be on that account.
He has sailed for his home at Rheims in
southern France, where he win spend the
summer, returning here for next season,
when hope all music lovers may hear
him, as he expects to go to Canton. By
the way, Mr.. Chance, who goes abroad
June Sd with Walter Damrosch and the
BlAines, will visit Mr.. MArteau at Rheims
this summer.
THE DAMRoscH CONCERT.
am so glad that the Damrosch orcbes.
ira 10 TO be in Canton on May %. New
and l hope CantonianH will derive great
pleasure from this concert. Please every
body 90.
am not an agent for Damrosch, neither
will get q solitary penDy for this request,
but know the enjoyment in q Damrosch
Q egening, and want TO share the pleasure
with every body. Canton is the only stop
quite compliment, think.
