playable condition, the player is enabled
to concentrate the attention upon inter-
probation. The nocturne was taken
ahead of metronome time, perhaps TO
show how simple q matter 1t was to play
double sixths.
The great number of the evening was
Liszt's transcription of he ErI King. The
orchestral effects for which Liszt was
always striving were all present, and
when brought to bear upon the s'storm
motif" OF the first part, produced an effect
startling in its grandeur and immensely.
Following directly was Mr.. Groeschel's
grand work in the song itself, when he
never lang with more dramatic fervor
and thoughtful interpretation. Coming
directly after the tremendous Janko
coupling effects, the accompaniment
showed how much more meager are the
resources of the old keyboard.
SMALL PIANIST.
Little Master Federlein Is an artist.
descended from u family of artists. He
played a Chopin prelude. the minuet
from Mozart's e fiat symphony, and a
Heller slunber song. Although his feet
could not reach the ordinary pedal aud
one was built up for him, his work with
that useful lung power" Of the piano
would shame an older artist. His hands
are very small. yet in the prelude the
sombre Chopinesque chords were as de-
eide | and full toned as one might wish.
1t is in his phrasing that he shows the
artist-soul.
The vocal numbers were all sung with
German words. Owing TO the absence of
Mr.. Federlein. who was to have played
the Janko accompaniment to "Dich
Theure Halle" Miss Nelson did not Sing
until the after-musicale, with Mr.. Hol-
lands violin ooligato. Rats Ever With
Thee" Miss Green sang B~radsky's "Du
Dist Mein ALL" the first time she has ever
sang in public with German words. It is
difficult to realize that such is the case,
her 'ch's" rolled with such fuency. Mr..
w. Hunter Brown substituted for "StllIe
Thranen.n "Klinge, Klinge, Mein PAN
ders." Miss May LYLE Smirh played one
of T%erschak's 'sFeldblumen'' for flute,
IMPROMPTU NUMBERS.
In the after-musicale, Mr.. w. Fl. Brown
sang 'She Alone Chartneth My Sadness"
which will be remembered as one of the
numbers which MIR. BUSHNELL sang here
recently with the assistance of a cold.
No such flaw marred Mr.. Browns solo,
which may he placed with the long list OF
successes which he has made this season.
More than eight guests were present,
among whom were almost all our profess
sional musicians.

That School Director Election Bill.
Governor Werts should by no means
sign the bill to make the School
Directors elective. All experience in
all cities has shown that this method
of selection was disastrous to the in
terests of the schools. Lower grade
men are almost invariably placed in
control of the Board, and the schools
become merely a part of the political
machinery of the city or county, as the
case may be.
The alleged occasion for the change
does not exist here. The present
Board of Education is an excellent one.
One or two indis cretions have been
committed by its members, but these
in no degree impair it's general useful
ness, or high standing. We have no
idea that as good a board would under
ordinary circumstances be secured by
popular election.
The true reason for the desire OF
certain politicians to make the Board
elective, is that it may give them a
chance to bolster up a bad ticket by
putting on it good men for school di-
rectors. If Governor Werts signs this
bill in compliance with a vague
general idea of making everything
elective, he will be simply aiding the
schemes of the political gang that is
bringing ruin on the county.
THE work of the Bad Legislature is
bearing fruit in the general defeat of
the Democratic party in the local
elections all over the State. The
borough contests of Tuesday give re-
suits calculated to awaken the gravest
fears in the breasts of true democrats,
who love the party for the sake of the
people.
But what is to be expected aftert the
disgrace brought upon the party by
the Adrain-F Flynn Thompson combi-
nation? Nothing but disaster need
be looked for until the party shows
that it was not represented, but
outraged by these fellows, and kicks
them out into the unhappy limbo OF
political back numbers.

Queer Horse Car Routes.

OF all the odd transit projects that
we have seen about the city, that n
outlined in the papers of yesterday
was surely the oldest. Taking the
routes as laid down, the project
seems to contemplate the construc-
ton of a series of a lines from no.
where to nowhere else. For instance
one route is from Grand and Wash
ington streets, along Washington to
the Morris Canal. Another is from Sip
Avenue through Summit, south to
Grand street.
If the gentlemen who form the COM
pany laying out these routes were not
of a high standing which precludes
such an idea, we might imagine that
the design was simply to get a hold
on certain streets which somebody
else needed. But this is altogether
out of question. Besides, they have
actually put up too much money for
anything but a bona fde enterprise.
Then what does it meant Why,
obviously, the new company, if not
the one which is to absorb the Jersey
City and Bergen, is to be a supple
mentary or complementary n to it.
Its tracks are all laid out to connect
with the tracks of the Jersey City and
Bergen, at one or more points, and
doubtless we have in the eleven routes
laid out the complete scheme of ex-
tension of the Jersey City and Bergen
system. 1t is to be noted that one of
the routes provides for a connection
between Jersey City and Hoboken,
and this seems to presage a cessation of
the contract between the j. G. & B.
and the North Hudson companies, by
which they apportioned the county
between them and so choked off COM
petition.
So long as the new company means
business-more cars. better cars and
faster cars-we wish it every success.
The city is just tagging behind the
rest of the country for lack of them,
and we cannot get them too soon or
too plentiful. Let us have progress
sive management, and we will soon
have a Jersey City that will give
Brooklyn a set back in the census re-
turns.
