REFUSED TO TELL FORTUNES

The CITY around the Midwinter Fair
gradually grows large. Each day shows
some new addition that has arrived from
nobody knows where and nobody seems to
care. The most interesting of the late
arrivals are the gypsies, who have found
places to put their houses in between the
new buildings. They have been arriving
for several days and more are expected.
In all the hustle and rush the gypsies are
the one picturesque element, and while
they leave great deal to be desired in the
matter of cleanliness their way of living
and the ease with which they make them
selves at home are always interesting.
Yesterday was not comfortable day in
camp-that is for an ordinary civilized
human being-but the gypsies did not seem
to mind it. The ran poured down and
soaked the tents and everything around,
but the owners were just as lazy as ever.
A crowd of them was seen sitting
around an unwilling fire with the cold,
penetrating rain beating down on them.

Cathedral Sunday-SChOoI.

The Christmas festival given to the
pupils of st. Mary's Sunday-school was
held last evening in the basement of the
Cathedral on Van Ness avenue. There
was an immense crowd present, many of
whom were compelled to remain standing,
in view OF the limited seatiI g capacity.
The programme opened with a grand
chorus, 'Hark! What Mean Those Holy
Voices" which was rendered in credita-
bic manner By forty little girls of the
Sunday-school.
Master A. Ross, attired in Scottish
costume, followed. and gave a bagpipe

were sunshine, moonlight and a number

ELLEN CoURsEN'S CHORAL CLASS
This Afternoon Adolph Bauer Will
Give His Sixth Symphony Con-
cert at the Tivoli.

1t is not often that one sees San Fran
cisco concert audience worked up to such
a pitch of enthusiasm as was the case at
the entertainment in Metropolitan Temple
last evening, which served to introduce
Rinaldo Rebagllati and his Spanish quintet
to the public.
The artists have come here almost IN
heralded, which perhaps accounts for the
somewhat meager attendance. They have
won considerable fame elsewh ere. how
eyer.
Rinaldo Rebagliati is viOlinist Of high
order of merit. He only played one solo.
Homage to Verdi" which was his own
composition. and like Sarasate's compost
tions is peculiarly fitted to be vehicle for
an artistic display of command over his
instrument. What the Homage to Verdi
would be like in the hands of less skilled
person was a question that none of the
audience had time to consider. In SigDOr
Rebagliati's hands it was brilliant end
dramatic.
The largo movement was played in q
beautiful caniabile style. After 6ll, The
violin. which was made in imitation of the
human Voice, is heard in its greatest per-
lection when it absolutely sings. Signur
Rsbagliati's can able had g touch of that
well how to evolve from his instrument.
The andante movement gave scope for a
display of finished execution and accom-
plished technique. The presto was
played with extreme brlliancy and skill.
Some critics who are fond of ladylike
style of handling the violin might object
that SignOr Rebagliati was almost brutal
in the forte passages. This is matter of
taste. He showed his command over
every nuance and degree Of power.
The Spanish quintet con sisted OF violin,
cello, mandolin, guitar and either. Selec-
tiOns from Carmen" their first number, is
peculiarly suited to a stringed band of this
kind. The bright, catchy character of the
music was charmingy Interpreted by the
performers and their phrasiDg and attack
were artistic and vigorous.
Two encores were insisted upon by the
audience indeed, every number played by
the quintet was received with warm az
proval.
The rest of the programme consisted of
an organ solo by R. FIe TiIton. bass
solo by Thomas Richard. Mrs. Maude
Berry Fisher sang MY Fate and Thine"
As an enc0re she rendered a lullaby
Mrs. Charles T. Dickman sang Happy
DAYS" by Strelezki, with cello obligato
by +. Bracamonte. The warm encore
which she also received was responded to
by ALA stella cOnfdente." A double
male quartet. consisting of Messrs.
Granam. Shawhau, Rowland. Atherstone,
