ance at Me ndelssohn Hall.
Harry Graboff. a youthful pianist who is
about to go abroad to com plste his musical
studies. gave n public concert last night at
Mendolssohn Hall. He came forward. not as
finished pianist. but as the pupil OF Alexander
Lam bert OF this city. under whose tuition he
has been for the past six years. Master
Grahoir is but fifteen years old He
showed most OF the talents that could
be expected at his age. He has an undeniabls
genius for the piano and he has been trained
in a way to develop his natural gifts to their
best advantage. The programme was not exact
ing in its Intellectual or emotional phases and
was. OF course selected with the idea OF showing
what such a youthful performer could do hest
His most ambitious Efforts In II technical way
were two studies by SchloetZer VIII CHI only the
most skilled performers are likely TO under
take. He played them with u facility re-
markahle Tor one OF his years. and his
performance would have been creditable to
pianlst o. greater experience, His tone was
naturally not one Of his most striking excel-
lencies. although in tho herceuse by lllinsky
he accom- Ished considerable in that respect.
Other numbers on the programme were

The Democratic managers in Brooklyn could
not suppress their JOY Yesterday when word
was received at the Thomas Jefferson head
quarters that senator Michael j. Cofrsy had at
last agreed to support the county ticket. All
along they had protested indifference to sena-
tor Coffsvs attitude. contsndng that his Red
Hook constituents would not Join him in his
revolt. but In spite OF this they were fairly
lubilant over the announcement that he was
again in me. The good news. however, did
not come direct from Senator Coffev. but in a
roun1about way. nor. so far as known, has the
senator withdrawn tie public statement he
made directly afterthe County Convention. viz:
that the nomination Of John Morrissey Gray for
Register was direct insult to the Democracy
OF South Brooklyn.
