FOURTH CONCERT THIS SEASON.
OF the New Haven Symphony Orches
ira

| OF the New Haven Symphony Orches-
ira.
The fourth of the seasons Symphony
concerts will take place on Thursday af-
ternoon, February %, at the Hyperion
theater.
1t is with the greatest pleasure that
the management is enabled to announce
that they have secured as soloist
for the occasion Miss Leontine Gaert-
Her, who according to Professor Julius
Klengel, one of the greatest virtuosi of
the day. is the greatest 'celliste he has
ever heard,
From the many criticisms of this
young woman, we have taken at ran
dom the following from a recent issue
Of the Globe, Toronto:
Probably the artist whose praises
We're unanimously sung the loudest was
Miss Leontne Gaertner. the celliste.
Petite of form. with charming, win
some manner she at once won the favor
Of the audience, but when she began to
play she won their hearts. Seldom have
we beheld an audience so spellbound.
Completely under the control of her
fascinating power she swayed them at
will. Now, as under the skilled touch
of her magic bow the cello gave forth
it's plaintive tones almost human, the
audience were hushed to a death-like
stiffness, again laughter beamed from
every eye, now joy, now sorrow and
then she stopped. For a moment all
was still then tumultuous applause
burst from the vast audience, which
would not be pacified until she gracious
ly responded with an encore. Miss
Gaertner's marvellous skill will be long
remembered in Toronto; such Gallo
playing is seldom heard and never for
gotten
The orchestra is certainly to be con-
graduated in having secured so great
an artist. y

SNOW TURNED TO RAIN.
At Least Two Days More of Cloudy
Rainy Weather


Rainy Weather.
The weather forecast for this section
promises at least two days more OF
cloudy, rainy weather for New Haven
Observer Tarr said last night that the
present rain came with a storm area
from the lower Mississippi valley, and
that now another storm of snow and
rain mixed was on the way eastward
from the northwest. He says that this
latter storm may pass north of New
Haven, in which case the rainy wealth
er now prevailing will not last more
than a couple of days. If, however,
this northwest storm drops so far south
as to strike this section, there will
probably be several days of disagreed
BILE weather.
Yesterday morning the thermometer
registered the same in Montana as in
New Orleans. Yesterday afternoon
northeast storm signals were ordered
displayed along the coast from the Del
aware breakwater to Boston. A dan
gerous wind for shipping was expected,
but not a hurricane. Storm signals are
displayed for wind blowing at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour and hur-
ricane signals for forty miles an hour
wind.

UNIVERSITY NEWS.
Freshman Baseball Candidates Out
Crew Men at Work.

The candidates for the freshman
| baseball team are busy nowadays in
full force at the cage in the gymnasium
lot. About one hundred men are on
deck. Some of the men who intend try
ing for the university nine were also
out, but their regular work does not be-
gin until February 22.
All the candidates for the university
crew are still working faithfully. They
are given instruction and work in the
tank and then go into the gymnasium
for some calisthenics. This floor work
is followed by some sprinting on the
track. Captain Allen has declared his
men in training in that he will keep
sixteen men. or enough for two full
crews at work up to a few weeks before
the big race. Four of the men will
then be dropped and twelve men taken
to the training quarters at New Lon
don, If the race is rowed there. With
this number of men in constant train
ing Captain Allen will be enabled to
fill any vacancy that might unexpect-
edly occur in the boat. Another adj
vantage to be gained by this plan is
that these men will have the benefit of
the coaching during the entire season.
and they will form a good basis for the
crew of the next year. A number of
graduate coaches are expected to be
present on Washington's birthday and
several days following to assist Captain
Allen. 1t is hoped that by that time the
harbor will be in such condition that
the candidates may be given work out
of doors.
The University basket ball team will
play it's next game on Saturday night
of this week in NeWburgh. N. Y. The
Yale-Cornell game will be played in
Poughkeepsie on Saturday night, Feb
ruary %. On Friday night, February
"a the Yale team will play the team
from the 115th Separate company, also
at Poughkeepsie. The game with Cor
nell will close the season for Yale, and
a desperate effort will be made to keep
its record of victories clear.

night and tomorrow night and at the
bargain matinee Saturday will be the
latest novelty in the way of farce COM

successes in farce comedy in years. 1t
depicts the comic events of an aerial
trip to Klondike. One of the striking
situations of the piece occurs at the
climax of the second act, which shows
the flight Of the air ship in a storm,
which is wonderfully realistic. One
thousand yards of canvas is used for
this one scene, the whole stage being
one mass of movable clouds, the air
ship rising in the midst of them in full
sight of the audience, the effect being, it
is said, to make the whole audience feel
as though they were on the wonderful
ship, looking down on the earth at an
elevation of at least three thousand feet.
The ship is of aluminium, manufactured
by the Pittsburg Steel company, the
same company that furnishes the alumni
mum that is to be used by the San
Francisco Aerial Navigation company

relatives in New Haven and many &C.

ty years, is one of the best known men
in the city, and his excellent adminstra-
ton of the local affairs of the company

the nature of promotion and in recog-
milton of his long period of faithful SER

Fellows, Knights Of Honor, Union Vet
eran legion, G. A. R., and Red Men.

prominent offices and has been for
wears n leader When If was harmed
recently that there was thought Of
transferring Mr.. Stannis, a petition was
circulated among business men to in
duce the company to permit him to re-
main here, but it appears to have been
unavailing, although it was largely
signed by influential men,

cites and insurance societies which pro-
vide for the care of members in case

for this reason the idea of charity con-

will be on the largest scale of any yet
given in this city Dorscht men form
