ARIONs CONCERT.
Impressive Rendering Of Handeps
Oratorio ssThe Messiah

Impressive Rendering of Handeps
Oratorio "The Messiah"
The musical folk of the city were very
evening at the ppeniug concert of the
Arion Clubs 18th. season.
This first concert was Especial Christmas
event and Is not included within the reg
uIar season series during which the club
Is to give three more performances.
In accordance with the custom, so con-
scientiously adhered to by similar musical
organizations OF other cities, the oratorio
selected for the Christmas special concert
was Handel's messiah" which, in its
first part at least, is based upon the Nati-
witty rs recorded in the Gospels and pro-
phesied by Isaiah. 1t easily ranks as the
best work OF the great composer, almost
the ouly one of his that has retained
its place among the oratorios, still recog-
nized as suitable and acceptable to pres
ent-d day audiences. "The Messiah" was
never more effectively rendered in this
city.
The soioists were Miss Lillian Blauvelt
soprano, Miss Gertrude May Stein con-
tralto, Mr.. ID. q. Henderson tenor, Mr.. ID.
M. Babcock bass. Mr.. Henderson in the
opening recitative, "Comfort Ye, Com
fort Ye Ny People," gave the audiance as
pleasing . fifst impression OF the concert
as could possibly be had. He has q re-
msrkably satisfying tenor voice.
The soprano, Miss Blauvelt, was heard
in Providence for the first time, but to
such good advantage that her singing met
With an applause almost enthusiastic.
Her voice is characterized by its tuneful
clearness, purity-and ample ability to
meet the rather severe tests offered by the
soprano parts Of ",The Messiah" The
beautiful air, 81 Know That My Re-
deemer Liveth," offered her a splendid
opportunity that she did not fail in.
Miss Stein, the contralto, who has the
reputation OF being always good in her
concert work, strengthened that impress
sion very materially last night by the
splendidly artistic treatment OF the parts
assigned to her.
Mr.. Babcock's style is particularly
adapted to the Messiah" and to him
tails much of the solo work in the orato-
rio. His voice, II not quite so pleasing to the
musically uneducated as that of Mr.. Hen
derson, is sonorous, and his enunciation
OF the heroic passages is practically per-
feet.
Under the able leadership OF conductor
Jules Jordan, the big chorus acquitted
itself consistently with the excellent per-
formance of the soloists. The rendering
OF the choruses, "Hallelujsh" and Lift
up Your Heads, o ye Gates" was msgnifi-
cent. The parts were perfectly balanced
and the tone and volume Of the chorus
left nothing to be desired.

American Stories.

Robert Barr, who used to be the
Luke Sharp" of the Detroit Free
Press, but who is the digniied editor
of n London magazine, says the
Americans have all tho ideas, but
Englishmen have all tho finish. He
says that the American who goes to
London must guard his stories if no
ever expects to use them, as they
will be taken out of his mouth and
made into copy before he knows it.
Over here a literary man tries all
of his ideas upon his friends before
he thinks of putting them on paper.
They are polished by being knocked
about.
Hopkinson Smith made up "Colo-
mel Carter Of Cartersville" out of
stories he had. been telling for ten
years. An American would as soon
have thought of stealing his spoons
as his stories TO make money out Of.
But in England they are not so
squeamish.
Mr.. Barr says that an American
author came to him one day and
said; well, Barr, I've told that old
yarn of mine that / meant to work
into a novel once too often. One Of
the men You introduced me to has
just brought it out in magazine. F"

NINTH WARD BREAKS THE RECORD.

The Ninth Ward may now claim the
banner for turning out the biggest num-
Der of voters at evening registration. The
figures in that ward last night were 267,
which beats the record made In the
populous Tenth last year by IL names.
The registration for ali day yesterday
was 1856, making the total for the year
e745 That is still way behind the
"hard times registration" of a year ago,
when on December n the total
was 1882, but the daily returns show an
increase. The corresponding total for
1892 was only S6lS. They not only broke
the record in Ward 0 last night but they
registered twins.

of opposition TO the urgent deficiency bill,
which is expected to be ma6e In the senate
because Of the provision for collecting the

be some antagonism, and possibly little
delay in getting the bill through, but that
he is confident Of the support of the ma
jority of the senate, and has therefore
little apprehension of the final result.
