PreparinE the Hall.

A force of men will go to work on Tom
linson Hall this morning to get it ready for
the May music festival, which will begin
next Monday night. There is much to be
done. The stage is to be extended so as to
accommodate the great chorus and orches-
ira, hundreds of electric lights are to be
put in, and arrangements are to be made
for dressing rooms, etc. The hall commit
teemen are particularly anxious to get suf-
ficient ventilation and light, two things
which have sometimes been lacking in the
badly arranged building The festival cho-
rus will hold its first rehearsal in the hall
on Friday night and there viii be another
rehearsal with the orchestra on Sunday aft
ernoon.
The sale OF seats for the festival contin-
ues at the Big Four Office, and the demand
opening day. 1t was about equally divided
between the three night concerts, although
there are many seats being taken for the
afternoon concerts, for each OF which there
are special attractions in the appearances
of Mr.. Z. A Mcdowell and Signor Cam
| panari. For lovers of instrumental music
| the symphony concert, TO be given by the
Boston symphony Orchestra on Wednesday
afternoon, is unusually interesting.

-Nordica, Brema and klafsky The last

but there Is particular interest In the ap,

| in the leading parts in several of the prin-
| opal works they are TO give. From all ae-
| counts she Is one of the few really great
singers OF the world, although she has beer

the remainder of the week. Many orders

accomplish.

I Roads centering at Cincinnati, Dayton,
Toledo and many other points are still
using the class rates in effect prior to April
u. and this is leading to trouble. Some of
the leading roads which did put in use the
new class rate tariffs have given notice that
they will no longer be bound by the agree
ment to adopt rates agreed en- April 13, but
will at once proceed to restore the rates to
points on their lines and connection which
were in force prior to April II. The Gen.

the matter up, and each road In the asso-
sciation has been instructed to adopt the new

MACDOWELL, THE COMPOSER.
oliver willard Pierce's Estimate o.
This Great American.

oliver willard Pierce's Estimate OF
This Great American.
Mr.. Oliver Willard Pierce, pianist, went to
Greencastle a few months ago to hear Mr..
A. E. MacDowell in a piano recital. Mr..
Pierce has this to say Of Mr.. Mcdowell:
"Mr. Mcdowell is readily recognized as
the most highly gifted composer which this
country has as yet produced. His compost
tons are known, honored and, what Is
more, played all over Europe, as well as his
native land, and consequently he Is gener-
ally thought of and referred to as COM
poser Were he less significant in creative
domains we should hear more OF him in
the realm Of interpretation; in other words,
as pianist. For Mcdowell is a pianist,
and most Satisfying one. Since his am
billions lie in other directions, and his life
Is a very busy one. he naturally does not
devote enough time to the keyboard to
maintain his technique in the hawless per-
lection Of a Rosenthal or q Joseffy In
deed, he modestly disclaims being regarded
virtuoso. But there are virtuosos and
virtuosos-some by dint of practcng
twelve hours day, and some by the grace
of God. Mcdowell belongs in the latter
category. His technique. while less daz-
zling and inevitable than that OF Pader-
ewsxi, is nevertheless fully equal to any
demands which could be conceived OF, and
therefore becomes what fine technique
should be-a means TO an end not an aim
In itself.
''And so 1t can be readily conceived that
the Distinguishing. features of MacDowell s
playing correlate, on broad lines, with the
dominant characteristics of his compost
tions and il is to this that mis- playing owes
its powers and charms. For an intense
spirituality pervades alike his works and
his Interpretation of them. There is not q
trace of sensationalism nor trucking to
the pit. Mr.. Mcdowell Is always in earn
est.l He may play one of his scintillatipg
scherzos so that you imagine Obiron and
Pitanias holding eifin court upon the keys,
but he is serious about 1t. An impression,
ton through those corruscating passages.
An idea is born of the rushing notes.
ITO me. however. he is greatest, both as
composer and interpreter, when the elves
have vanished and clouds obscure the sun.
His Sonata Tragica" is ultimate for. the
spiritual-no Borgia, no King Mark.
Rather, the tragedy of soul. which win
never be written in words. have never
heard anything from the piano so fearful,
so appealing and yet so indomi.able as his
playing OF the largo from the above mem
toned sonata, unless, perhaps, from the
wizard Rubenstein. It reminded me of Pro-
confronted by the impregnable human will.
Mr.. Mcdowell has chosen his second con-
certo to play here. The choice is fortu-
nate. 1t is work intense, maSterful, and,
withal, charming in the highest degree. and
to hear him play it will be a small educa-
ton TO any music student who will take the
trouble TO acquaint himself somewhat with
the score beforehand
