The largest audience that has thus far
attended any of this seasons bi-nonthly
recitals of the Schubert club enjoyed the
excellent programme presented yester-
day afternoon at Mozart hall by the
Metropolitan quartette. The quartette
is composed of Miss Florence Marion
Pace, soprano; Mrs. Jane Huntingto
Yale, eontralto; Harry e. George, tenor;
and Harry e. Phillips, baritone. The
promise of excellent work implied by
such a personnel was more than fulfilled
yesterday and the fine quartette num-
bers, as well as the beautiful solos, called
forth the heartiest applause from the
audience. A fine harmony, always cor
rect tempo and charming blending of
voices that is somewhat surprising, con-
Sidering the short time the singers have
been together, characterizes the work
of the quartette. An especially admir-
able number was Foote's Irish folk song
It possesses all the tender plaintiveness
that seems to lie so near the surface of
the Irish peasant nature and it was
sung with delicacy and expression yes
terday. Schumanns Gypsy Life" was
spiritedly rendered. Equally enjoyable
were the two numbers that closed the
programme, rKuchen's ''Swiss Peoples
Song and Leslies Lullaby of Life"
Every number was enthusiastically ap-
plauded and the quartette was compelled

to the ensemble work Mr.. George sang
two numbers yesterday, My Own Sweet
heart" Gottschalll: and "a Song of Sun
shine" Goring Thomas. Mr. Georges
work has always an artistic finish and

carelessness. For this reason it is al
ways pleasure to hear him sing. Mrs
YaIe's beautiful contralto was heard in
one solo number Autumn Gale Grieg;
Mr.. Phillips sang Whites plaintive little
ballad, ''To Mary" and Schumann's very
martial song 1.-THE Two Grenadiers

"Fairest of Roses" from Governs 'St.
Johns Eve" Miss Pace also sang a
solo. an aria from Tschaikowsky'
