The second concert of the Thomas series at
tracted to the Metropolitan last evening an
audience of generous size. Tho first selection
was Brahms's variations on the st. Antoni
Choral. Then came the Beethoven "Eroica"
Symphony. an old battle horse of Mr.. Thomas's
and in the reading of which he gave proof of
having in no way lost his ascendancy in the
fields Of pure classicism. The symphony was
played with great dignity and precision from
beginning to end. the ever glorious last move
ment in particular making "A profound impress
sion on the audience.
But the merits OF Mr.. Thomas's band were per-
haps. best shown in the thrilling rendition of
the Isolde " Introduction and Nerklacrung."

more in requisitiOn than tenderness and

the greatest weakness of the orchestra. its SEEM

The yiolins sometimes leave you cold where they
should move you deeply.
Mime, Juch has given much pleasure to our
musical public In former years, but no one
having her interests really at heart would. even
IN her palmiest days. have asked her TO
sing Isolde. She sang the first two Wagner
songs with intelligent expression. if without
much, volume OF voice. but when 1t came to
the 1solden's Verklaerung" she was entirely
Inadequate. and doubtless the difficulty of her
position was not lessened bv the consciousness
OF Nine. klafsky's presence in the audience.
Mr.. Thomas was several times recalled during
the evening to acknowledge hearty applause.

THE CALM CART DRIVER.

An Incident at the Wonderful Fourteenth
street Crossing OF Broadway.
Into the hurly burly OF the territory adjacent
TO the Broadway crossing at Fourteenth street
came a man driving a dump cart loaded with
snow He was on the south side OF Fourteenth
street going east and keeping stright ahead TO
cross the tracks OF the cable road Just above the
crossing, paying no attention to or not observ-
ing a car that was coming down and Just start
ing around the curve. lie was on the track be-
fore anybody noticed him, and the car was
brought TO a standstill. Then there was nothing
10 do but to hustle tho cart ahead. But at that
moment an up-bound car headed him off.
sitting on his cart and blocking the down
track, but still quite undisturbed, the driver
nodded his head TO the left to the grigman of
the up car as = signal 70 g, ahead. This re-
lieved the general tension. The big policeman
and tho cable men ON the crossing had been in
cltned to take q serious Wow or things; but
when they saw the driver OF a dump cart load ed
with snow who had blocked one track nod his
head To . Rripman on the other 20 make way
for him there, they felt that they could afford
to smile.

Fourth Symphony Concert.

The fourth concert of the symphony Society
on Friday afternoon, repeated last evening, can
scarcely be said to have been an enlivening
affair; indeed. the effect which 1t produced was
both soporihc and depressing. a fact due In
large measure to the makeup Of the pro-
grammc, which was chosen without due regard
to the element of variety, not in respect Of COM
posers, but rather in the coloring of the music,
which was Tore or less sombre throughout.
The symphony chosen for the occasion was
the No. III. in c OF Saint-Saens. which. how
ever great may be its technical merits, leaves
an impression OF hopelessness on those who
listen to 1t. and, Notwithstanding the introduce
tion of organ ana piano-the former instrument
judtciously handled by MIR. Hermann Hans
Wetzler and the latter by Mr.. Howard Brock
way-tho general effect is one of monotony.
There are long stretches in II where the orches-
ira 10 almost inaudible, where the composer
seems to have fallen into a reverie like unto
sleep. and the movement seems about to sue
cumb TO pure inanition. Toward the end. how
ever. there is a fine bit OF dignihed, If some
what Intellectual. melody, followed by a finale of
considerable originality OF treatment.
The second orchestral selection was Brahms's
beautiful Theme and Variations" from Sex
tet, OPP. IL. for string band, a noble compost
ton, though 100 moderate" in character to
be efiicacious In rouslng an audience lulled by
the symphony into q state of somi-coma. Tho
playing of the orchestra In these variations was
by no means laultless, the attack being some
times decidedly ragged and the nuances not al
ways kindly treated. The bacchanale." from
Tannhauser paris version, was the last thing
on the programme, and even that was disap-
pointing somehow, aud failed TO excite the en-
thusiasm which belongs TO It by right.
Fri. Ternina was the soloist, and her APP
pearance in concert had been looked forward
TO with considerable interest. She first sang
the Abschenlicher." better known as
PerhdO," from - kideliO." in q manner that was
far from convincing, She seemed to be lacking IN
inspiration, aud though singing correctly and
with fine tone and agreeable ease, she failed TO
strike q responsive chord In her audience,
and really won no more than a success
d'estime." She Was more successtul In the two
Wagner songA, 'rrRums' anu "Sohmerzen,''
which she gave later oA aud In which she was
most alphabetically accompanied by Mr..
DAmrosCh at tho piano. The songs seemed TO
Mt better with her mood than the great aria,
and she was called upon 10 repeat the "TTAume"
and rendered IL on the recall even better
than at frst. These great Wagner singers ara
never at their best when hampered by the pro-
~prieties and restrictions OF the concert stage,
and IL may be said in explanation of Fraulein
Terminals failure to carry complete conviction
on this occasion, that she is no exception to a
rule of almost universal application in the do
main of WagnerlAn art.

""
When Civil Justice Jacob Neu of Brooklyn
left his house in Stuyvesant avenue. near Put
nam avenue, yesterday morning he noticed a
pool OF blood on the lower stop of his front
stoop and another on the sidewalk.
There was . trail Of blood leading to Jefferson
avenue. There 1t was lost. The Justice notified
the police OF the Ralph avenue station. and then
learned that a burglar had worked In the neigh
borhood with great success on Friday night.
This burglar, after entering several houses,
was chased in Jefferson avenue by Special
Policeman Rogers, who is attached to a dis
trict messenger Office in Gates avenue. Rogers
called on him to halt. Then he emptied his
seven-chambered revolver at him. but the
burglar got away.
1t is thought that Rogers hit tho burglar. and
that the injured man afterward sat down on the
