ADJUSTMENTS.

Dy Arthur Mayo at the OulSeISdliSl
Church Wednesday evening was a success
unsteady and financially The audience
was of goodly proportions and the work of
this rising young pianist commanded warm
appreciation. His selections were sufficient
ly varied to show his versatility of inter-
probation, and each number was well per-
formed. Some of the numbers were those
rarely heard in a concert program, notably
the capriccio of Mendelssohn and the G
sharp minor polonaise of Chopin. but both
were well received because of the excel
lent technical work of Mr.. Mayo as well
as his evident comprehension of the COM
poser's spirit In fact, this sinking of his
own individuality and absorption of his
authors meaning is characteristic of Mr.
Mayos playing and furnishes it's chief
claim to recognition. This does not detract
from his technical deXterity, for he pos
sesses that in high degree, as was evil
denced in his List numbers. Mr.. Mayo
was assisted by Mr.. Frank Reside, bari
tone who gained warm applause for his
excellent singing.
