The Times and military science.

LONDON, Dec, 5.--There is feel
ing Of disappointment and con-
tinuing anxiety respecting General
Lord Methuen. The Times says ed
itorially:
"The battle Of Modder River af-
fords splendid proof Of the unsur-
passed qualities OF the British sol
der, but while victories won solely
by the exercise OF these qualities are
indeed magnificent, they are not

with pride not unmixed with regret
at the persistent perversity of cir

vents us obtaining equal or greater
results by processes savoring little

Sixty persons came up in a special
car from southoridge last evening for
the concert.
Miss Aagot Lunde was in good voice
at the Friday Morning club reception,
Thursday She anticipates busy win
ter with song recitals and concerts in
many Of the large western cities. Miss
Lunde is singing solos at Arlington
street church in Boston. Since she re-
turned from Norway, where she worked
with Grieg, last summer, this composer
mas had prominent place on her pro-
grams.
Among those attending the festival
from Nova Scotia are: Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy Williams, Mr.. and Mrs. R. w. VIII
mans, Miss Williams, Mr.. Shenton Allen
and sister, and Miss Joanna Gardner Of
yarmouth; Miss Ida Locke and party of

ments have been made with Mr.. Stew

the usual winter series of three con-
certs in Whitinsville. Josiah Lasell

though the dates Of the concerts have
not been determined.
James G. Huneker of the New York
Musical Courier and one of the most
entertaining of American writer's on
musical subjects, was one of the later
festival arrivals.
Miss Alice M. Eastman Of Boston
soprano at Union church in this citv,

ing at Hotel Newton.
Mrs. J. M. Akerman of the Newburv-

tival and is the guest of her daughter.

she said. THE women are very pretty
and their dresses are lovely"
If anything, Nine Senbrich looked
better yesterday afternoon than she ala

that the festival of 1899 has been one
of the most brilliant in all the long
series. Such large and enthusiastic au-
diences have not been seen for years,
and It is clear that the people thought
they were getting their moneys worth.
Never within the writer's recollection
has there been SO remarkable a series
of afternoon concerts. The only critic
ism that can be made of them, is chat
there was too much soloist in proper
ton to the orchestra. A single solu
performer to a concert is enough, but
the average concert-goer is not likely
to complain IL there are two. The pro-
grams throughout have been dignified,
and two new works of value, King
Trojan" and Tschalkowskfs glorious
symphony, have been added to the fes-
tival repertory. There was somewhat
more than the usual flavor of sunny
Italy, but this was justified by Sem
brich.
In former years the soloist has some
times proved but a.broken reed to lean
upon but happily the success of the
enterprise does not rest upon a single
singer. Inevitably, there have been dis
appointments this year, but these af-
fected only the final performance seri-
ously. Neither De Pachmann nor Nine.
Sembrich need be further glorifed, for
the memory of both will long be cher
ished by those who heard them. The
world can give nothing better, for their
art was as overwhelming here as in the
metropolis. Mr.. williams and Mr.. Miles
will be pleasantly remembered, and
though Mr.. Ffrangcon Davies did not
equal the record which he made last
year, nobody viii dispute his title as an
accomplished artist. Miss Florence was
improperly cast In THE Creation" but
in the lighter music to which she is bet
ter adapted she made good Impress
ion.
Beyond question, the chorus sang bet
ter than in previous years. It has gained
in volume and quality Of tone, but most
Of all in fiexibility. What 1t most needs
is confidence, in order that it may more
certainly repeat in public the successes
Of the rehearsal. One OF the out-of-town
reviewers pronounced the performance
of THE Lily Nymph" the best Of four
that he had heard and MIR. Chadwick S
music Is a severe test. One might also
hear many presentations Of 1.-THE Crea-
ton" before finding another as good.
The orchestra has been a delight and
tower of strength. 1t has labored
long and diligently, and to Mr. Kneisel
as we'll as Mr.. Chadwick, especial
thanks are due for his painStaking ef-
ficiency as conductor. That Mr. Chad
wick has gained in breadth since last
year is manifest. and it may be conf
IDENTIFY expected that corresponding i'm
provoment in choral and orchestral
work will be effected in another twelve
montI. Bostonians think the orchestra
does not equal the finish of its home
performances, under its own coniuc-
tor, at the height of the season, but
however that may be, it is still true
that no other band in the country could
do its work as efficiently, and few 9th

making little gestures with it
Miss Florence, who sat in the audi
ence at the afternoon concert, wore a
costume of green, with very elaborate

Bloodgood was in blue silk with a

hat
Nine. Sembrich was presented after
her waltz song yesterday with huge
bunch of orange and yellow marigolds
tied with orange ribbon.
Miss voigt looked very handsome
last night in Berlin dress that she
wore for the first time. 1t was of yell
low satin cut with a court train, the
skirt appliqued with white lace edged
with narrow yellow ribbon There was
a lace berthe, with butterfly sleeves of
lace. Several combs set with brilliants
were in her hair, which was pompa-
dour. She was presented with bou-
quet of Catherine Mermet roses, from
Miss Elizabeth Pierce, an admirer Of
Miss Voigt, and musical lady, who
ran down from Canada on purpose to
hear Miss Voigt sing. Miss Voigt's
friends, Mrs. M. w. Hunt. Mrs A
Scudder and Miss Kate Scudder, all Of
Covington, Ky, who have been here
throughout the festival, went on to
New York yesterday, in order to reach
the city before the streets became inn
passable from the Dewey parade
The artists will all be gone by this
afternoon. Evan Williams, Miss Pres
ton, Miss Voigt, Mrs. Bloodgood, Mr..
Van YORK and Mr.. and Mrs. Hamlin
left by the 1928 train for New York
last night; Mr.. and Mrs. Miles and Mr.
Ffrangcon- Davies take the 1912 train
for New York this forenoon, and Nine.

SOCIAL FESTIVITIES.
Only One Large Function This Year,
But Much Entertaining.

The festival of 1899 has been excep-
tioneliy quiet in the way of social fes
tivities. A few years ago the officers
did some entertaining, and each year
saw large luncheon or reception given
by 1t for the artists and townsfolk. In
addition, there were one or more recep-
tons given by persons who entertained
the artists, or had house parties for the
festival, while of small dinners and
luneheons there was no end. This year
with the exception of the Friday Morn
ing club at home, there has been nc
large function.
One reason for this quiet is perhaps
the fact that several families who az.
ways contribute more or less to the
social gaiety of the week, are in mourn
ing. Another is the ever-increasing size
Of the festival interests and the diff
Guilty OF keeping a reception or tea
within rounds. Some people assign "a
their reason for not entertaining that
they cannot invite all their friends, and
hesitate to offend by leaving somebody
out.
1t is possible that the entertaining OF
the future may resolve itself into a
number of small affairs, and that, with
the exception of the Friday Morning
club at home, which Is to be made an
annual feature. the brushes that tax
ones house and rend ones train will
not be numerous. For real satisfaction
to hostess and guest, there is nothing
like little party of perhaps 80 souls,
garnished by an artist or two. They
will dror In after the evening concert,
the women with their white arms and
shoulders and shimmering silks and
satins; the men like sketches in black
and white, and every one will be Jolly
Even the women will not be afraid d
joke, nor deem Ii unladylike 10 be
funny. And no one will be jollier thar
the player and singer folk, for are they
not cut for a lark, as well as for bread
and butter? Then, after the music OF

will be passed. The jolly women will
be helped first, and then men will heir
them And then there will be more mu-
sic and good stories, and the hands OF
the clock will swing around the ,;ial

anybody knows 1t.
But II large entertainments are on
the wane, entertaining is not. The
number Of families that have guests for
festival week was never so large b,

functions. The hotels remain the happy

DE PAcHMANN DEPARTS.
He Returns to New York, But viii
Play in Boston Next Month.


Vladimir de Pachmann took the 1912
train for New York yesterday forenoon
He was the first of the artists to go.
If he were woman, people would call
him chatterbox. De Pachmann knows
that he talks too much but he cannot
control his tongue, and apparently says
everything that comes into his head,
like q vivacious, spoiled little boy. His
feelings arc constantly being hurt, and
he does not read the papers much, be-
cause they jolly him so awfully. If you
happen to please him or to confer evor
so tIifling favor, he expresses his sat-
isfaction by jumping up and kissing
your hand sufficiently embarrassing
operation for the average American
woman; but the man who travels with
him to take care of him and the piano,
is contented If he does not request a
kiss in the name Of friendship of a Is
minutes acquaintance.
To say that the people who run the
Bay State we're relieved to see the last
of him is almost a matter of course
He is fussy TO a degree, and finds fault
with everything, particularly with
American prices, which strike him as
positive swindles.
