 Ills Recital in Foot Guard Hall Yesterday
 Afternoon,
 Paderewski appeared in Hartford yes terday afternoon, playing the same program which he is presenting this afternoon at the Hyperion. The re- cital began at 2:S0 and for three-quar- ters of an hour before that time there was a steady stream of people pouring in until every seat was filled and many were obliged to stand up. The weather was horrible and 1t shows what a tre- mendous magnetic power PaderewslSi is. The pianist has changed little In appearance since he was last in this country. He is looking more robust, his face Is fuller and he wears his hair little shorter than formerly. His playing is just what it has always been-a little better if possible. By the time he has played few bars he seems to have made friends with the whole house and thereafter he can twist their emotions at will. It is this charm of personality that makes Paderewski diff ferent from all the rest. There have been in the history of piano playing three great names that stand out from all the rest-Iiszt, Rubenstein and Paderewski. Rubenstein and Liszt are dead-Paderewski reigned alone and voila tout!
 When he was last in New Haven he was accorded reception which, con- sidering our population, was as great a triumph as any he enjoys in New York No other pianist ever aroused such enthusiasm here. Imagine cold, critical audience in this college town stand on their orchestra chairs to shout braves and wave their handkerchiefs and tear off their boutonnieres to throw at his feet. Yet that is what happened and considering what the advance sale has been it is not unsafe to prophecy that history is to repeat itself this af- ternoon.
 After the recital there is to be a re ception rendered the artist at the Art school by Professor Samuel S, Sanford of the muscial department, It will last until o'clock, when he will leave for Bridgeport to spend the night at Mir sanford's home there. The recep- ton is to be a very lovely affair in every way, There will be music by an orchestra of twenty pieces and the col lation by Sherry of New York. Pader- ewski has always had very pleasant receptions whenever he has been here, New Haven was the first city he visit ed outside of the great centers on his first tour, when he came through Pro- lessor Sanford and MT, Morris Steinert, It is not strange that he likes us and looks forward to the recital this after noon with pleasure.
