Tuesday evening, May IL will be re-
membered as one OF the rarest In the
Mount year OF '9S, and we are Indebted
to the Philharmonic Quartet. OF Wheel-
Ing. for the beautiful musical evening,
The concert was given in our music hall.
and the opening number, sehubert,s
3Quartette, op 1875, No. 1, begun at Z
O'Clock. and from this moment 10 the
last OF the splendid programme. the ar.
dent enthusiasm neverwaned.
The "Erl King was played by re-
quest, and receivedtso hearty an encore
that II was repeated. This music will
over be dear TO the hearts OF Mount do

Mary Agnes Gubert, TO whom by, right
OF her magnificent rendition OF II this
cong almost seemed TO belong.
The Beethoven numbers gave the
greatest pleasure. and OF this altogether
beautiful work, that OF Professor Ed
ward Blumcnberg. In the Adagio move.
/. No. !, ranked as superlatiyely beauti-
sul. II was played with a warmth and
finish that 6tirred the hearts OF his au-
dlence.
While enthusiastic a%ppreclators ~
all the work OF the evening, we found
that even above all this artistic success,
rose the plano work OF Professor Her
man S%chockey, which was simply eS-
qulsite: every note seemed a perfect
thing, and every value little or great,
whether a brilliant shower OF suiccoto
notes, like the falling OF rain drops,
shaken from the bows OF an evergreen
tree In the April sunlight, or the COM
pelling tones OF a thunderous fortissimo,
was perfectly rendered, and to all this
perfection Of technique Is added a rare
~ beautiful touch. The n regret OF,
the evening was that We heard no piano
solo from this artist.
We sec by n recent number of
Events that the maintaining OF this
Quartette in future seasons Is still In
doubt. We hope this Is a mistake. as
Wheeling Is gaining for herself a musi-
cal reputation which she can not afford
TO jeopardlzc, as she owes much OF the
quality of this reputation to the Phil
harmonic Quartet. and every effort
should be made TO keep 1t q prominent
factor in the city's artistic world.
