THIESEN'S FOURTH CONCERT.
GreenviIle Amateur Orchestra Dis
conrken SxHeel Music Laet ighfa
tbs Paocrrn G GAN

The popular Thiesen Amateur Orches-
ira gave it's fourth symphony concert Of
this season in Belvidere last night. For
the past three years each concert has
marked an Improvement both in the
quality of the programme and in the
manner in which it8was performed. To-
day Wagner and Haydn. especially the
latter, are receiving most of the atten-
ton of Mr.. George Thiesen, the leader.
The programme last night offered great
variety. The principal piece was the an
dante movement from Haydn's thirteenth
symphony. In point of rendition the best
were the first and last selections. Recol-
1~ections of Tannhauser and Mendels-
sohn's War March of the Priests"
The oboe solo. Theodore Herrmann's
serenade, played by Master Francis
Werenfels. was well rendered. Miss Sell
ma Rothstein sang Loves Proving, by
Lohr and in the second part of the pro-
gramme a triple lumber. So, too, was a
duo for clarinet and trombone. played
by Messrs. f.. G. Fontana and D.. c. N.
by Mr.. Arthur Muller. Jr. They played
selections from Norma and the effects
produced We're very fine. The effect woul
had been toned to concert pitch instead
of singing pitch, which made 1t a half
note fiat to the clarinet, but a little thing
IKE that doesn't bother the Thiesens.
Other selections by the orchestra were
from Rossini's 'Stabat Mater
t'Zug der Frauen," from Wagner's
'Lohengrin, " and selections from Balfe's
Bohemian Girl" The mex concert will
be given early in May at Belvidere Hall.
At It's conclusion there will probably be a
dance, or if not a sociable will be given
still later in the season to the subscrib-
ers for the past year. The orchestra has
accepted an invitation from the Green
vile Turn Verein to play at the Verein
fair one night Of the week devoted wholly
to them.

More Tournament Cannes.

The paving at Duffy's last night was
done by Ayres and Martin, of the second
class, and Lyons and Callahan, in the
third. The contests were as interesting as
any since the series opened, and the
first game afforded no end of excitement
for the spectators, and the result was a
surprise. Martin was defeated by Ayres
to the regret of those who picked him to
win. Only three points separated the
scores. The most expert playing in the
second game wad done by Callahan, and
he had no trouble in running pool, with
a margin of IA. The feature of the night
was a run of Is balls by Ayres. Scores

The Currency problem.

The President recommends the ex-
change of gold interest-bearing bonds for
the legairtender notes of the sJInited
States, and the substitution of national
bank notes as our only currency. He Is
supported in this by large and influential
classes of our fellow citizens, most Of
hem engaged in banking or classed as
capitalists. Their arguments mainly rest
upon the difficulties by This
Administrator in maintaining a reserve
In coin to redeem United States notes.
They forget hat during a period Of
fourteen years when the revenues OF
the Government exceeded expenditures
ard when the public debt was being re-
duced with unexampled rapidly, there
was no difficulty in maintaining cur
notes at par with coin. There is scarcely
a doubt but that, in all conditions of
trade or nance except the contingency
sof war. the whole mass of United States
notes and Treasury notes now in cireu-
lation can be- maintained at par with
COIN. if it is supported by a reserve of
gold coin orr bullion or silver bullion at
market value in dye proportions equal
to one-third or one-f0urth of the amount
of such notes.IForumEea

John Morrow's, Grove and Mercer streets,
between Sam Mcpherson of this city and
Ed Carberry of Newark, ended disas,
beaten even IN his own table. He lost
the match last Thursday night in New

conclusion of the local contest. McPher-
son was badly handicapped under the
conditions, but with steady playing he
could easily have won out, as there was
only a margin of 20 between them al
the close of the first 50. He allowed
9 of this to slip away in the second so
and he fell ehind II more in the last,
losing the second series by 10 n the

One of the greatest match games ever

night on the Woods Hail alleys be
tween Sam Coffin of the Doolittle Club.
champion of this city, and w. Taylor
Of the Tourist Cyclers, of Paterson. It
was the second series of best 6 in II
games for a wager of $50, and a more
closely contested series has never been
decided. Taylor beat Coffin in six straight
games in Paterson, but as CoffEan has
the highest average ever made for a
competition at Woods Hall. his friends
expected him to win with but little
trouble, but he never worked harder in
all his career as a bowler for a victory.
Taylor was a surprise and his bowling
was of the phenomenal order at times,
and created as much surprise among his
own friends as 1T did among his oppo-
nents. The Paterson expert started with
a rush and Coffman was unable to touch
him in the first three games. He start
ed with 207, followed it with 234 and beat
this by n pin in the third. Coffman
was very much off and did not reach his
usual average He was beaten Is pins
IN the first, 65 in the second and 70 in
the third. Such bowling was unlocked
for and Coffman's admirers wore a
troubled look. The fourth game cheered
them, as Coffman bowled to the front
with something like. his old time skill
and made his. first 200 score. He con-
tinued the pace and came within two
pins of a victory. Both We're even on

with 2SS in the sixth and beat Taylor
out of sight. Once more Coffman's
friends cheered. Both fell off on the
seventh, but Coffman did the better and
sent his chances a notch higher and the
score was 4 to 3. Coffman began the
eighth with a credit and Taylor a break.
This gave the local bowler an advantage
he held until the end and the score was
even up. Coffman's stock was booming
and odds were offered that he would
win Taylor started with a lead in the
ninth, but Coffman caught him and was
well in front on the ninth frame. He
made a split on the windup and a credit
put him within two pins of his opponent.

SKATES SET WITH DIAMONDS

ExfrayaGast Pads I'm Runners
There's an exfravanganf fashion in
skates In Russia which has been max
ing its way westward the last year or
two, and this winter has really taken
a hold upon people In this country
who can afford 10 indulge In such ex-
pensIye caprices," said the manager
OF a great firm. which turns out some
tens Of thousands Of skates every
year." ! allnde to the fancy for skates
Of gold and silver.
The year before last we had but
three orders for skates Of these kinds:
last year We received eight; but this
year. although there has really not
been any skating up 10 the present
moment. we have had orders for no
fewer than twenty-five pairs Of skates
In gold and five in silver. while for
silver and gold plated skates the de-
mand this year has been almost phe-
nomenaI
ut ~ nothing more than a fad. of
course, for a pair Of gold skates are
no better than-perhaps not as good
pair Of best steel. but they cost more
than a hundred times the money IL
you pay a guinea for a pair OF steel
skates, yon can get them as good as
you could wish. but you certainly will
not get pair Of gold under $500.
We recently made pair of gold
skates for the daughter Of a prominent
Liverpool merchant. That the fad is
merely the outcome Of a desire 10
spend will be seen from tine fact that
she was not content 10 have them of
solid gold and highly chased. but had
them 80 massive that they weighed
half as much again as was necessary.
\ great number Of orders for skates
OF this kind come 20 us from abroad.
The other day we dispatched three
pairs Of golden skates 20 ST. Peters
burg. and we have in hand for a lady
residing in that city a pair 20 be made
Of gold set with diamonds, which we
finished.
THAT sounds an enormous sum for
sueh'an article. does II mot: But there
are more than one pair Of skates worth
1--WE or six times that amount. The
wife OF Russian minister has a pair
which are valued al $4,000. We had
them 70 repair two years ago. They
were.ciumsy things, gold. set with dia-
monds and emeralds. and obviously
made only 20 look snowy. No one
could have used ahem with any degree
OF comfort Now the fashion has be
gun In England. ] dare say we shall
go one better. We have already made
a pair of gold skates set with a trac-
ing Of small pearls for an English
customer which cost $500 London
