MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Haydn Concert.

Last evening the Haydns closed the
musical season of 1S94-95 with Marston
night at Kotzschmar Hall. The evening
was devoted to songs composed by Mr..
George W. Marston, and his cantata Of
"David -
Every seat in the hall was occupied and
most of those in the gallery The soloists
in the miscellaneous programme were
Misses Tarbox and Bibber, Messrs. Hall
and Macy, and the opening quartette
was exceedingly well rendered by Mrs.
True Miss Bibber, Messrs Hall and Macy.
The soloists gave admiral expression to
the beauty that is such characteristic
feature of Mr.. Marston S songs, and Miss
Tarbox swas particularly happy in the
'tEcho Song" and Separation.
The feature of the evening was the can
tata. 1t had never before been presented
in Portland as far as we know, although
it has been published for some time
The parts of David, Jonathan, Michael
and Nuerab were all in good hands, tax
en- as they were by Messrs. Pierce, and
Barnard, Mrs. Bowers and Miss Rice re-
spcetively. AS no descriptive programme
was provided one cannot particularize
the various numbers other than to say
that the music, from a first hearing,
seemed extremely well fitted to the text.
There is a pathos, and a certain dignity
to the choruses and solos, joined to the
| melodious character of the music that
impressed the audience most fayorably,
and the applause was generous. One
concerted number that especially appeared
to the critical ear was that Immediately
preceding Jonathan's solo, "David fled
| before the wrath of God
The soloists have rarely appealed to
better advantage. Mr. Barnard's Jona-
than was strong, clear-cut characterize
tion. Mr.. Pierce gave great emphasis tc
| the part of David, which contains some
very effective musical writing. Mrs.
Bowers's voice has rarely been heard to
better advantage. Her intonation was
pure and her method of the best. Miss
Rice's lovely contralto was well fitted
with the character of Nuerab. The ac
compartments were excellent and ths
shading, particularly in the chorus that
followed the opening solo, fine. O1
course Mr. Kotzschmar conducted.
Between the miscellaneous programme
and the cantata there were loud cries
for MIR. Marston, and the gentleman,
who was in the audience, arose ano

hour later he discovered that the SO bill
was gone. He at once harnessed up a
team and got Deputy Sheriff Edward W.
Dollif, and the two started in pursuit of
the old man.
They caught up with him after drive
of about four miles. They took him into
the carriage and Mr.. Thompson asked
him to give up the ten dollars The old
man who claimed to be tramping about
the country looking for work, denied all
knowledge of the money. He was taken
to Thompson's house and searched but
only 49, 19 was found on his person. He
was then driven into Portland and
searched at the jail when neatly folded
$40 bill was found secreted in his stocking
