his own accompaniment, singing from
the very height aud depth of his being,
brings it all before us with almost pain
full distinctness. Some idea may be
formed of how much music we heard when
l mention that there were three or TOUR
concerts each afternoon while on the day
Mr. W. Fl. Sherwood gave his recital
there were five concerts where nearly
sixty compositions were played and sung
not including Mrs. KrehbiePs numbers.
That there is but a step from the sublime
to the ridiculous, was conclusively proved
at the Chicago pianist's recital 1t was
the hottest day of the season, the
audience, sitting silently tanning wera in
MIR. Mantalini's words "Moist, un-
pleasant bodies,' Mr.. Sherwood's pro.
gramme was classic and extremely tax
ing. He was in full swing with Schu-
mann's Etudes Symphonique, and doing
tremendous work, the audience, SPELL
bound, when suddenly out from behind
the screen stepped a waiter bearing a
salyer and glass of what looked like
1oe.cold lemonade, with strawberry in
it and two straws On he moved toward
his unconscious victim, pausing at his
elbow and still MIR. Sherwood saw not,
but Numbered up and down this key
board, while tho audience smiled
audibly. The man could not understand
that anyone could long be obvious of a
thirst-quenching beverage on such day,
and stood waiting patiently about
finally thrusting the salver directly before
Mr.. Sherwood's face and holding it
there. The combination was extremely
ludicrous, Schumann and Settler! With
frowning countenance and vigorous
shake Of the head. his words fortunately
did not reach me, the artist, without stop
ping finally made the man comprehend
and reluctantly he carried glass and all
behind the screen, amid a ripple of
laughter from the audience that could
not be suppressed. While there were
many pianists at the convention, there
was but one W. II. Sherwood. His in
depreciation of Rats G minor concert was
the clear cut gem. the fawless diamond
of piano playing at this s05h convention.
What glorious composition that is |!
How striking and brilliant the opening
movement in contrast with the wonder
full delicacy of the Andante. Nothing
more beautiful can be imagined than the
1ightness and tenderness of Sherwood 5
touch in that ideal number. The conven-
ton closed Monday evening June 27th
with Mendelssohn's St. Paul, given by
the Oratorio Society of Brooklyn, num-
bering 200 voices, condu ctor W. n. Hall.
Much of the chorus work was well done,
the attacks spirited, and tone quality good,
though the same difficulty is apparent here
as in other societies, lack of tenor and bass
voices. The Natural Music Teachers As
ISOLATION was an artistic success in many
ways. 1t is an organization that should
be, encouraged by the financial support of
musicians and it undoubtedly broadens
the horizon of those fortunate enough to
attend its sessions.

4 Rank Discrimination.
Sherman Daily Register.

The Galveston end OF the Galveston
Dallas News is now being delivered to
subscribers at SIS cents per month while
the Dallas paper still collects 81 per month.
The question naturally arises IL the paper
can be delivered from Galveston at So
cents why not from Dallas at the same
price, why discriminate against the people
OF North Texas? The answer is simply this.
In North Texas the News has no competl-
tion. while In South Texas The Houston

ton In the price of the Galveston branch
while the Dallas end maintains the same
price Is sure sign that the News is feel
