y.w coMPANY's SECOND NIGHT
Proves a Greater Artistic Success Than
the First

The severe rain and generally dis
aereaa HE weather last night had
somewhat disastrous effect on the at
tendance at the Yaw concert and the
Crawford Grand consequently presented
striking contrast in appearance 10
that of Tuesday night. Nevertheless
considering the circumstances the mouse
was a surprisingly large one.
The program was one of the heaviest
that the company has given at popular
concert for a long time. and measured
from an artistic standpoint the concert
was an even greater success than thar
of the night before.
Miss Lay opened with Rubinstein S
Polonaise from lie Bal" She finds IN
this an excellent opportunity for dis
PLAYING her facile execution and IN II
she seemed to exactly suit the mood OF
the audience. The marked sympathy
that characteriZes Miss Lay as an ac-
companist has certainly much to do with
the near approach 10 artistic perfection
that is found in all the work OF both Mr..
Dick and Miss Yaw.
Macmillan Dick gave last night some
of the most difficult numbers in his well
chosen repertoire and treated even those
most familiar with his work 10 new and
favorable surprises in several OF them.
Admirers of Musin who heard him
here four years ago Will perhaps re-
member how signally successful was his
rendition of one Of his own great COM
positions-his Concert Caprice. Max
Dick gave it last night with an execu-
ton that could be favorably compared
with that of Nusin. and with depth
Of feeling that held the audience breath
less. In La Cygene." one Of Saint
Saens' well known compositions. which
he used as his first encore. he was near
iy equally as successful. Owing TO the
fact that al Wednesday evenings cor
cert the piano was not pitched Just
right for the number Mr. Dick did not
attempt Sar3sate's Faust Fantasia"
which is one OF his favorites but last
night he used il as his second number
and demonstrated some Of its great
possibilities.

speech created profound sensation,
which was increased by Cooper's denun-

occasion to score the gentleman from
California roundly for his attitude to-
