the front and was recalled 10 receive II.
The marriage Of Miss Juch to Mr.. Well
man will take place June "a at stamford,
Conn. A number of friends will be invited
TO attend the ceremony.
Miss Stein wore a picturesque gown last
evening. 1t was an Empire style, made
of white silk, with a golden girdle. 1t was
very simple. but exceedingly becoming.
Mr.. Mills had a seat in the east corridor,
where he rested and listened TO the pro-
gramme last night. applauding the singers
and enjoying the music of his fellow art
lists.
Just before Mr.. MiIls's number wednes-
day night a bright young woman was heard
to say: Mr.. Mills will have a heavy job

There is no pleasing some people. Mr..
Friedheim received the loudest and longest
applause OF any of the artists, and yet a
musician of this city was heard to say that
'he played just as If he was a piece or
machinery"
Mile; Trebelli wore e French ensH sOg b,, at
brocade. with large velvet bows at the
side. in the center OF which were tied
long punches of flowers. Her hat was OF

from their point of view.
Mr.. Arens and Mr.. w. H. Donley will

taken part in the festival here are on the
programme there. The Cincinnati festival
will be great on that account.
That Mr.. Marteau has presence OF mind
as we'll as skill In playing his yiciin was
shown when a string broke and ne turnea
and took an instrument from a member or
the orchestra and completed his number
without losing his time with the orchestra.
A lady in the audience who has lived in
Germany and has studied music in that
country is enthusia site over the chorus,
and says in that country where a chorus
is a permanent thing and where rehearsals
are held the year round, and year after
year. she never heard such perfect chorus
work.
Miss Minnie Deiner. who has PLAYED all
of the Accomplishments for the rshearsals
of the great chorus and has fulfilled her
Fart in getting the menioers ready for the
festival. was presen1sd With a pretty LACE
of ivy leaves, and separating the leaves are
tiny pearls.
Miss Iuch wore a gown that seemed to
just suit the Wagner night. 1t was a full
and was accordion ~oleated: The sleeves
were full Duffs OF white silk. and were
yer and crystal passementerie. and there
were two UNIQUE ornaments OF the silver
and crystal on the front Of the corsage.
When Mr.. Arens was directing an orches-
ira in Europe he brought out American
compositions and became known as the
champion of music by Americans- Among
the numbers which were the greatest sue
cesses were the Suite Op. u, in a Haunted
speciai -arrangement and by the courtesy
of Mr.. Mollenhauer that he directed that
and the "Serenade.' by Victor Herb-rt.

Friedheim also has a lock. but IT does not

Just at the close Of the first part Mr..
w. c.. Smock stepped forward and, saving
that Mr.. Arens had learned how TO beat
time but did not know how to keep time,
presented him with a handsome gold watch,
with the regards of the member OF the
chorus. Mr.. Arens was much pleased, ana
when the chorus and friends gathered about
him he pulled from his pocket a. silver

The ushe-s feel that they have not re-
ceived their full share of Justice when
they are criticised. They performed the
part OF seating the vast audience and their
remuneration was the privilege OF hearing
the programme. Mr.. Mayer. president OF
the festival association, said they should
not be blamed for any trouble OF ednes-
day evening, for with the selling of season
off the diagram. and two and even shree
| coupons had been held for the same seat
the same evening. The fault was not with
the ushers, but because OF. having too
many to sell the tickets. While the labor
OF TIE ushers does not cover many hours,
vet they are required TO walk many steps.
