THE ORGAN RECITAL.

The organ recital a the Church OF
the Redeemer at p. m. was the open
ing event of the festival for the general
public. The wary concert goer always
avoids an organ recital as he would a
plague, and as rule it is impossible to
move the popular heart to quicker
rhythm by performance on what has
been called ''the king of the instru-
ments." But the Church of the Re
deemer was crowded to the point of
suffocation at o'clock yesterday Shall
one say it was from a desire to realize
the full worth of the course ticket that
the multitude came, or was it the magic
name of Wagner? The critic is by ma
ture a cynic and he refuses to believe
that it was pure love of organ music.
AS the affair turned out, it is sincerely
to be hoped that the public did not come
to hear legitimate organ music legiti-
mately played, for, if so, it went empty
away. The organ is noble instrument
and much noble music has been written
for it, One Johann Sebastian Bach
contributed to the literature of the in
strument and of late years such men
as Rheinberger, Merkel, Guimant,
Widor and Dubois, to mention only a
AICWs AldtC WLilttll WI hS l1idl are lulO-
matte of the "chest of whistles" In
the making up of yesterdays pro-
gramme this entire school of compost
tion was ignored, and instead one was
treated to series of transcriptions of
familiar excerpts from the scores of
Richard Wagner. Is the organ to be
considered merely as an apology for the
orchestra? Has it no individuality or
distinguishing characteristic in the
great musical system? Apparently not.
And has yesterdays performer, who is
man of some reputation and plays
some things with brilliant effect, never
heard of what is called ''organ touch?"
1t may briefly be said that Mr. Taft's
playing was disappointment His
registration and imitation of orchestral
color was good, but rhythm, which is alb
solutely essential in organ playing, was
lacking. The transcptions We're played
from manuscript and they were not en-
tirely pleasing.
The programme included excerpts
from "Rienzi," "Gotterdammerung,
"Parsifal" "Meistersinger' and such
interesting novelties as the Wedding
March from 'Lohengrin," the Pilgrims
Chorus from "Tannhauser'' and so
Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star"
from the same opera.
Miss Frances Heath of this city sang
s'Elsas Dream" from ''Lohengrin,"
and Miss Grace Nichols played her ac-
compartment. The organ of the church
is one of the newest instruments in the
city and is complete with every mechan-
ical device. The specification was
drawn up by r. G. Shepard and is es-
pecially well balanced. The quality of
the reeds is remarkably fine and the in
strument is altogether satisfactory.

MUSIC TEACHERS JUBILEE
THE STATE ASSOCIATIONS NINTH
ANNUAL FESTIVAL
nous Crowds i'm Attendance-AlP Parts
of the State Features of
the Day-To-day's Programme.

The music teachers are here again.
They arrived in large numbers yester-
day and more may be expected to-day,
They are serious looking crowd. Why
should they not be when they come with
the intention of attending twelve con-
certs in rapid succession? There will
be no rest or repose for the fierce music
lover for two whole days and the de-
vout pilgrim will be a pitiably weary
soul tomorrow night. However it is at
any rate a rest from the incessant
course of zone and two and-no, f
that's better, ETC." If anyone deserves
q festival it is the hard worked music
teacher and their presence here once a
year brings joy and light to the city.
The attractions this year are greater
than ever before. The programmes are
interesting and varied. Enormous
throngs will be in attendance at every
event and everything indicates a pros
porous season. The management is
notably efficient and everything that
could be thought Of for the convenience
of the out Of town contingent has been
done. There is a bureau of Informal
ton at the Hyperion, where all kinds
of information are supplied. Persons
who have been unable to secure course
tickets will be glad to know that single
coupons may be had at the Hyperion
box Office.
The business meeting in the after
noon was largely attended. This open
ed at Warner hall at 2 o'clock, The
president, A. j. Wilkins, in his annual
address suggested among other import
ant things that the price of tickets be
advanced from $3.50 to 50.
The capacity of the meeting place of
the festival limits the sale of tickets
to 1000. In order to continue to i'm
prove the programme and make each
succeeding festival more professional,
the price of tickets will have to be
advanced or else a larger meeting place
bs provided.
This matter will be taken up at the
business meeting to-day.
1t was reported that John S. Camp
had donated the amount of money re-
ceived as a prize in the composition
contest of the association.
The report of the choral societies was
read by F. A. Canada.
The committee on nominations sub
mitted the following nominations; Pres
fdent, F. A. Fowler of New Haven
secretary and treasurer A. J. wilkins
of Bridgeport; programme committee,
T. G. Shepard of New Haven, George
a. Kfes of Norwich and John S. Camp
of Hartford.
1t was voted to hold the next years
convention in New Haven.

PROMENADE CONCERT.
Annual Festival Affair at the Hyperion

The promenade concert and dance,
which is an annual occurrence on the
occasion of the music teachers visit to
the city at the Hyperion last night was
largely attended and more dane
ers were on the floor than in any pre-
vious year. The seats in the orches-
ira circle had been removed and a
temporary dancing platform laid over
the space and on a level with the sage
proper, thus converting the theater in
to an ideal dance hall. The floor was
covered with crash and the merry
dancers tripped over this at lively
rate to the tune of popular airs played
in a most enhancing manner by
FichtPs orchestra. So popular did the

numbers prove that an encore was
called for after each one and Director
F'ichtl gracefully responded to the calls.
There were at least 200 couples on the
floor, most of them being from New
Haven. The theater was simply, though
effectively decorated with palms and
potted plants placed here and there;
American flags and bunting were hung
on the boxes and around the balcony

.,,e Little End of the Fight-The
Tariff DiRerentiaI, He Says, Cuts

washington, June 15.-The industrial
.-r,,,,ission held only an afternoon session
- hoard but one witness to-day, J. N
T,-,-ia of the firm of ArbuclN- & Bro,
g,l manager OF the firms sugar refin-
ana business.
Mr.. Jarvle's testimony was brief. He was
s,s,, and courteous in his attitude toward
f5- inouisitors. refusing but one question,
,6at of how much 1t cost his company to
rs9ne sugar. He said he did not wish TO
-fye information of that sort to his bust
ness competitors.
Mir JarVie put the necessary margin be-
tween raw and refined sugar at between
nifty and sixty points TO allow a profit on
tb4 business He said when his firm start
cd business in 1893 this margin was about
ninety. Il had dropped as low as thirty-two
and was now about fifty
He explained the entrance of the Ar
butkieS INTO the sugar leliuliiS DuSl4lSSs,
and said that in SO they secured machine
for Weighing and packing sugar, and I'M
derlook TO sell package sugar TO the whole
sale trade They bought from the Amer,
lean Refining Company, but found they
could make no profit in that way, and so
starred their own refinery.
He said the tariff ditferenGal of one
eighth Of a cent pound on refined sugar
did not figure in the business just now.
Domestic competition was so sharp as 90
keep out all foreign sugar.
When asked if the removal of the one
eighth cent would effect the business now,
h. said ne did not know enough about the
foreign trade TO say.
Mr. Jarvie said there had been many
overtures from the sugar trust 20 settle
The difference with the Arbuckles but
they had al been made for stock jobbing
purposes, and consequently there had
been nothing in them.
The witness. in speaking of the coffee
business in which the American Sugar
Refinery had invaded the Arbuckles
field said that while there had been a de-
cline in prices, that IL would not be fair
TO 1ay il all TO competition, as there had
been a great increase in coffee production
adj over the world, last years crop going
from 100000 to 50;O00000 bags.
When asked If he could suggest any
plan that would lessen the present de
strucuve competition in the sugar bust
only stop when the one big concern de-
cided to be content with less than 100 per
cent of all the business in the country.
When asked how long the rival com
ptnies could keep on selling sugar a a
loss Mr.. Jarvie replied cheerfully that he
thought a concern supplying so per cent
Of the sugar sold in this country would
lose more under those conditions than the
firm supplying the other 10 per cent, and
thar he had the 10 per cent. end of the
bargain now.
