Piled. 81. myself have never found the
dog either wise or beautiful. At first
IL was painful to look at him. Yet there
are always men who do not deny. their
origin. and who like to do homage even
TO their cousin the dog. There are ladies,
too. cracked enough TO desire few hairs
from this animal, and 20 carry them
about i'm a golden locket as a valuable
keepsake and talsman. All! If they
only knew that the dog was present
from the Emperor, 1t is true that | had
a beautiful dog-the greyhound Rebecca
Tyras (which was given 10 me by the
Munich Dog Rearing Society.
THAT Tyras was really an excellent
animal under whose guardianship / was
safer than under the protection Of the
whole of the Berlin police But he was
noisoned by n miserable scOundrel, a
faithless farm servant. and / was truly
grieved. Then my birthday drew near,
and the Emperor asked the Minister Bot
ticher's advice. and he told him about
the poisoning Of Tyras. The Emperor
forthwith commanded: See that you get
a new Reichshund' And Botticher who
knew as much about dogs as certain al
plomats do of history, went TO a dog
training establishment and ordered a new
Reichshund.
"When the animal was introduced IA
me my servant, Pinnow, shed tears oil

"The Emperor, in his establishment

Pew. The finances were conducted on a

with unisonal phrase, while the key
in which 1T is written remains at first a
mystery. Oppressed with forebodings of
catastrophe it would seem to denote one
venting anguish in sharp cries. Then
n bright light appears and dissipates the
gloom. an exquisite theme in 6 major
first indicated by the horns in E fiat
major. Upon this simple theme, the
corner stone of the work. the structure is
erected all the rhythmic proportions
being carefully preserved The phases
are short and constantly changing from
wind to string instruments. The lovely
theme of the andante con moto comes
in like sweet voice from the spirit land
giving hope. In the Scherzo are singular
modulations, while the bass repeats in the
minor key. Like bright sunbeam inSthe
concluding movement the glorious theme
breaks in among the jubilant concord of
instruments. One awakens after the
Allegretto as if from dream. 1t was
in this magnificent symphony that the
Maine Symphony orchestra showed the
effect of Mr.. Chapman's IS work and of
their own devotion to what is highest in
music. For the time employed, for the
number of instruments, the result was
extraordinary. 1t gave the Maine listener
the greatestipleasure to think what these
men have accomplished. AS a whole it
was something to be proud of and the
audience testified to their appreciation.
How that orchestra sang the lovely
andante. and how grandly they brought
of the finale. Let us hope that aug
mented and fostered the Maine Symphony
orchestra has come to stay.
In the s'Hail to the Happy Bridal Day,
Mr.. Waterhouse gave the little entrusted
to him with good effect and the chorus
called forth the joyous notes that tell
of the approaching marriage.
Miss Katharine Kicker needs no intro
duction in her old home in Portland.
She never appeared to better advantage
than in the grand aria from Meyerbeer' S
'Prophet." Her stage presence was
charming, she sang with great majesty
and dignity the first part OF the aria,
and at the close displayed most brllilanG
execution. Her voice has broadened and
improved greatly in the past year, good
as it used to be. She received a decided
ovation, and, when recalled, repeated the
finale of the aria. Later Mrs. Palmer
and Miss Kicker appeared in duet
from the same opera, and the two Port
land girls must have felt that in this
case "a prophet is not without honor In
his own country They sang the duet
superbly and were recalled.
Memberships beautiful Departure"
showed the chorus to great advantage.
They sang it with ~ lisite shading and
the audience was not satisfied until 1t was
repeated.
The orcehstrA played Steck's.,'' Filtration
Waltzes" wi tn great delicacy and deep
expression, and the concert closed with
the delightful quartette and chorus from
Martha by Nine. Maconda, Miss
Kicker, Messrs. Waterhouse, Miles and
DR.. Tibhetts.
