kubelfk Again,

Jan Kubelik. the Bohemian violinist. and
his American managers, Daniel Frohman
and Hugo Gorlitz. have every reason to feel
satisfied over the great success which has
SO far attended them on the opening con-
certs in the east. The enthusiasm Kube-
iik playing has created, and the tremen-
dous houses he has drawn. at the very
start, have caused general comment
throughout the musical world, 1t being con-
sidered almost phenomenal that such a rec
ord should be made in so short a time.
Last Sunday evening at the Metropolitan
opera House the prices were advanced for

"TAe Messiah"

IL Is no slight verdict on the singing of
The Messiah" by the Choral Society last
evening at the Congregational Church that
it was the best performance Of that great
work ever given by the society. For thir-
teen years. during Christmas week, Han
ders masterpiece has been sung by the
Choral Society, and at all times 1t may be
said that the work has been characterized
by sincerity and earnestness, but last even
ing the chorus showed a balance, a preci-
sion and force that gave the finishing
touch OF excellence. Appreciation was not
lacking on the part Of the audience that
filled all the available space in that great
auditorium, and 80 with sympathetic au-
ditors, talented soloists and the support Of
accomplished accompanies on the organ
and piano, the great music Of 'The Mes
siah" was heard under conditions that con-
stitute combination unusual in the history
or musical organizations. While the con-
tribution of the soloists to this result was
an important one, yet 1t was no more than
the requirements Of the oratorio, SO that
after all upon the chorus rested the respon-
sibility of musical success
The society showed itself to be fully
equal to the occasion, and under the sym
pathetic yet exact baton Of the director.
Mr.. Josef Kaspar, they sang with that
admirable balance Of the parts and that
spirit and vivacity which are the qualities
OF nne chorus.
In the entire musical range of this ora
torio from the delicate allegro movements
to the tour de force Of the hallelutah cho-
rus the society displayed the capacity that
comes from knowledge. The society was
fortunate in having this year, as last
Mrs. Caroline Shepherd of Boston to take
the soprano part. Her voice is beautifully
clear and sympathetic, and she sang with
much expression. The alto soloist Nine
Josephine Jacoby Of New York. had the
disadvantage of a cold, but in spite Of that
her work was excellent.
The fine voice Of the tenor, Mr. Leo Lie
hermann of New York, was heard to adyan-
tage, and the difficult portions were rem
dered with the skill which showed the
trained artist.
New York, sang without hardly a reference
to the score, and his splendid voice was
heard to special advantage in the difficult
and intricate passages.
The only accompaniment on this occasion
as Is usual In all the appearances of the
society, was the organ and piano. Mr.
Hermann Hans Wetzler, who played the
organ, proved to have a correct compre-
heasion Of his functions. and, as a conse-
quence, the voices were not drowned out in
the waves Of sound from that instrument.
DR.. Anton Gloetzner, as usual, played the
piano, and. as result Of the competent
chorus were not blurred and rendered indis-
tinct.
An appropriate tribute was paid to the
memory of the late President Mckinley by
the society In opening the evenings work
by singing Mendelssohn's theme, Happy
and Blest Are They That Have Endured"
from the oratorio Of "St. Paul.

such relentless warfare against the growth
or the evils in the amusement world that
ne soon became a power in Boston He
gathered to his little place the best people
OF the city, and from time to time was

between Winchester and Kernstown, which
she sends to her brother who is a captain
In the confederate army. She Is finally
