Tho First Concert or the season -ssssaS
Heard hGnia.

THO Etrst concert OF the Season -SeseGi
Heard Agate.
Following IL the programme Of the frst con.
cert Of tho seventeenth season OF the Boston
symphony society-tho twelfth season in New
York:
l.. Johannes Brahms-symphony No. 8. in r major.
op. 90.
2. Robert schumann-conccrt for p,sno In A
minor.
O.. Grieg-suite. Peer Gynt."
4. Chabrier-"Espsna," rhapsody for orchestra.
1t was highly appropriate that Brahms and
Schumann should DO associated together so
closely, Schumann having been tho prophet
who predicted so truly Brahms's worth and
his future greatness. Brahms, In n why. seems to
have continued Schumann's art work, carrying
out into longer stretches tho strong intellectual
methods Of the older composer, while in pure
romantic beauty he scarcely drops behind him,
although Brahms Is n man of individuality, but
not many varying moods, while schumann had
rs many changing tempers as there werc parcs
in his creations. GrieG, another of the
highest apostles Of romance. was In ami.
able unison with tho two moro powerful
men represented on last nights programme,
And the only dissonance came from the light,
and, in comparison with the rest. the unimpor-
tant rhapsody by Chabrier, which sayored more
of garden concerts than Of classical ones, and
suffered miserably from Its juxtapositlon with
what had gone before.
Where all is 80 perfectly performed as It 10 at
the hands OF Mr.. Paur and his men, there 10 but
little to be said. 1t has long been known how
solidly tho various choirs in his orchestra seem
to be packed and Joined together-this due, Of
course, to tho clever manner in which they are
kept in an even proportion of weight OF tone, SO
that no one set OF Instruments can unduly pre-
Bit OF wonderful effect, such as the
three last. vanishing chords in Grieg's
impressive funeral march, Asses, Tod" or in
the weird rushing twists and twiris Of
tain King may be especially wondered at and
commended. Every one expects. however,
that Brahms's glorious symphony, should
DO perfect in It's peaceful nobility, and
no one is amazed that In beauty and
have had a rendering commensurate with its
value. nor that tho mechanical means to this
end was absolutely hidden 80 that no trace of
effort could possibly mar the serene contempla-
tion Of tho inmost thought and meaning of the
composition.
In Mr.. Joseffy's Interpretation of Schumann's
concerto was discernible the Increased calm and
deliteration that has been Of late years illuIni-
mating his renderings. While he played with
the immense difficulties of the. piece as
pets. yet there was an utter absence OF display
in technique. an absolute. sinking of the per-
sonality of the artist in tho work he was per-
forming, and an intensely clear and vivid out
lining of his own understanding Of Schumann's
meaning. There was also a fine breadth
manipulation OF. the keyboard. where tones
wero kept so nicely apart IA 10 seem to lot air
and sunshine in between them. There was
height a, we'll as breadth in Joseffy's rendering.

Capt. Bernier Hopes to Make His Way There
with Dogs and Reindeer.
MONTREAL. Nov. 11.-Capt. Bernier, tho Que
bee man who intends to try to make a trip to
the North Pole, will start on March 1 in the
Windward. which was used by the Jackson
Armsworth expedition, from a point which he
will not name. brit which is on the north
coast of Siberia. His crow will consist of q
all. including himself.
He intends to travel at the rate of six miles a
day. making the journey to the Pole in 100
days. His mode of travelling will be with dogs
and reindeer, especially the latter, on account
of their meat as well as their service.
He intends to send the Windward back from
Siberia after disembarking his outfit. as he ex-
poets to return to SpitZbcrgen. whore supplies
will await hin. He will be provisioned for two
and q half years. He has already received three
applications. but all applicants must be Cana
dams, British subjects, no matter of what ma
tionality. The trip he expects to make will cost
not moro than 100000.
1t would be interesting to know how Capt.
Bernier proposes to feed his reindeer on tho trip
over the ice of the Arctic Ocean, from Asia to tho
North Pole, and then back to Spitzbcrgen. Dogs
have not been found to be extremely valuable
adiuncts of a sledging journey over such ter
rible ice as Manson encountered, and reindeer
would probably be far less serviceable under
such leo conditions. Capt. Bernier would seem,
from this despatch. to intend to start at an un-
necessarily early time in the season. as there Is
little probability that he could get through into
the Kara Sea before early in.the summer.

Ohio politics IL on the screen just
now under strong lime light. 1t pre-
sents an exceedingly entertaining
sight for the rest Of the American peo-
pie.

Hanna had fixed up his little deal for
the senatorship. A vacancy was to be
made BY placing Sherman In the cab

the appointment Of his friend, Alger.
The way seemed clear and the weather
lovely: then the storm came.
Creating vacancy in an Ohio Office
has the same effect among the Repub-
licans OF the state as tossing carcass
In the cage has on group Of hycnas.
As soon as the vacancy was made the
row began and every deal wac declared
OF. Foraker refused 70 be placated
and Governor Bushnell, who was
thought to be aching TO honor the Syn
dictate Boss, developed a severe attack
of political paralysis.
Nov, the cause OF the Governors
paralysis appears in the report Of a
much better scheme for the disposal Of
the Senatorship than that Of giving II
to Hanna. The Governor has discover.
ed that he Is the man TO be placated and
the only satisfactory way TO this end Il
TO take the Senatorship for Bushnell
and let Hanna shift for himself. His
plan Is to resign, with the understand.
ing that the Lieutenant Governor, who
succeeds him, viii appoint him to the
Senate.
