KNEIsEL QUARTET CONCERT.
Two OF Anton DvorsL'- Compositions Heart
Here for the First Time.

Two OF Aaton DvorsL's Competitions Heard
Here for the First Time.
Two new compositions by DR.. Dvorak. one a
quartet In major. and the other quintet In
4 fiat. were given last night by the Kneisel
Quartet at their concert in Carnegie Hall.
Tho first OF these had been played only In
Boston before last night. and the quintet had
not been heard in public. They are both COM
positions OF especial interest because they
were written after the composers American
symphony. and might be expected to show the
influence Of DR.. Dvorak's study OF American
music.
The quartet is In four movements. and only
in the allegro is the influence OF the negro
melody noticeable. The work is one OF genu-
Inc beauty throughout. spontaneous in execu-
tion and simple In purpose and effect. Tho
negro music In tho trst movement is accented
strongly toward the end and the closing bars
OF the third movement are suggestive OF tho
style OF Besthoven's later work. The finale is
charming in its liveliness and gayety.
The quintet. In which Mr. Zach played tho
second viola opened with movement which
was the least inspiring Of tho four that make
suggestion OF tho nsgro music and the andante
was delightful In it's freshness and clAssically

President Cleveland promptly appointed him
TO Canadian Consulate.
Mr.. Riley was discharged By Gov. Flower
because the Governor found out that Mr..
Riley although n state of1lcial. was getting
grants OF the State lands m AIDE to himself, and
that he WAS using his knowledge and political
position to get grants for his friends. In one
OF these grants there was a $1,000 bonus
