Mr.. Herbert has won great laurciS as
conductor and also as composer as his
work in the Hero and Leander'' symphonic
poem clearly demonstrates. In connection
with the performane of The Dvorak From
the New World symphony by the Pitts
burg orchestra. under Victor Herbert it
transpires that DR.. Dvorak. when compos-
ing the symphony in 1892 in New York,
often consulted Mr.. Herbert, making HIM
his coniidant as to the meaning OF the en-
tire work. This fact gives Mr.. Herbert's
reading of the symphony a special author
ty not enjoyed by any one else in the
country.
The season sale closes tonight and the
sale of seats for single performances opens
at S:ie am. Monday. The sooist for the
concert on Wednesday afternoon will be
Nine. Schumann-Henk.
THE DE SOJrZA CONCERT.-Sincerer re-
sret was felt by large number of promi-
nent people yesterday afternoon when it
Portuguese baritone, had an attack of ton
siiitis, which would prevent his singing at
the concert announced at the Columbia
Theatcr Since his arrival in the city the
marquis had received many social atten-
tons, and his genial personality had made
him many friends. Consequently there was
a general desire Ia hear him, and the adj
vance sale was quite large, while the boxes
were all taken by people prominently
known in diplomatic and social circles. The
announcement of the inability of the Mar
quis DE Souza to sing was not made until
the last moment, because II was hoped that
the efforts of his physicians to put his
voice in condition would be successful. but
the remedies failed to act. and il was found
impossible for him to utter a note. Miss
Clemens. Miss Howe, Miss Schade and Mr..
Van Hoose the assistants, were all i'm the
city and ready to appear, but with De
SoUza out the concert would have been like
Hamlet without the melancholy Dane.
The concert is postponed until next Tues
day afternoon when the program, orig
inaly announced, will be sung. An seats
purchased for yesterday will be good for
Tuesday.
THE CHORAL SOCIETY.-The Choral
Society departs somewhat from its usual
custom at its next concert by presenting

| ing chorus, "Pars mea. rex meuS," from
! Parkers "Hora Novissima. given as
| foretaste of the coming concert in Febru-
| airy, and the noted Thanks BE to Cod"
| from Elijah" These Will take but small
part of the evening, and the remainder will
be occupied by Mr.. Bispham. He will sing
no less than twenty-five songs Most OF
these are short, fourteen being the German
Leider of Schumann, embraced in the set
| known as 'Dichterlicbe," written to the
lyrics of Heiue He will sing these in Ger
man, but the program will contain the text
bo,h in German and English. The most in
teresting novelties will be the last songs of
Sir Arthur Sullivan. with words by Tenny-
son. Swallow, Oh, Swallow and Tears

| a new song by Howard Brockway, a young
New Yorker, whose work has already re-
ceived considerable attention.
