MUSIC.
The Musikverein's Concert.

The programme that Mr.. Ernestinoff had
arranged for the Musikverein's second
concert of the season, given last evening
at the German House, was burdened with
no pOnderous works No demand was
made that the orchestra and chorus could
not approximately meet The music was
of light and fanciful nature. and it's per-
Torrance was easy, graceful and lively.
The principal feature was a concerto-the
Second of d'Albert-played, for the first
time in America, by Allen Spencer, a pian-
list of Chicago, and the orchestra. Mr..
Spencer had not been heard before in this
city, though some of the members Of the
Musikverein had made his acquaintance
at last summers meeting of the Indiana
Music Teachers Association at Marion,
where he gave a recital.
The concerto has not the intermissions
usual in the form. 1t is fluent and pleas
antly nlelodious, but by no means impos-
ing. Its composer has written in many
forms, even the operate. Mr.. Spencers
chords in the finale of the concerto stirred
his audience to hearty and prolonged APP
plause, and he returned to play the Cam
PAMELA" etude of List. The ornate frills
in The treble of this study in Lisztian af-
fectation Mr.. Spencer worked out with
nicely, style, speed and postiveness that
heightened the admiration for him that
his hearers already had formed and dem
OnStrated.
Two compositions by that finely intense
poet, Edward Grieg, were played by the
strings" Heartwounds' and THE Spring"
That was the best of the orchestra's work
though the full band played excellently in
Bizets IL Arlesienne" suite. The concert
was opened with Lassens Festival Over
ture' and closed with I'm Maytime," by
Baldamus, produced by the full chorus and
orchestra. The mems chorus was happy,
as IL always is. in Spicker's THE Dew
Drops Fall and particularly in a rousing
Rhine song by Asslinger. graceful and
beautiful composition by Othegraven, by
the Willows at the Brooks" was sung by
the women's chorus, with the orchestra.
The full resources of the society were en-
ployed in Schumanns 1.-The Lotosf1ower"
Certainly, the Musikverein never showed
to better advantage gave more pleasure
10 the passive members. A German musical
organization usually has been an agent
actively engaged in promoting the lum-
bering chorale, but the Musikverein, under
Mr.. Ernestinoff's direction. Is making for
cathoIicity and lightness of humor. And
there is no opportunity for complaint by the
German whose transplanting has not been
successful, for the mems chorus sings with
as much weight and exuberance as could
reasonably be wished for by the sort of
German music lover that likes all to stand
in circle with heads thrown back while
harmonies are being hurled forth.

MR.. FORSYTH'S PICTURES.
Canvases Portray Scenes Near the His
toric Town of CorydOn.

toric Town of COrydOn.
Art admirers of the city will find treat
at Lieber's art store, where this week Will
liam Forsyth. the well-known artist, is
exhibiting thirty-seven Of his latest paint
ings in oils and water colors.
With the exception of three, the can
vases all portray scenes taken from the
picturesque little town of Corydon, where
Mr.. Forsyth spent the summer. OF the
three mentioned, two are figure portraits
and the third is a twilight scene taken from
near Indianapolis.
OF the larger canvasses, No. Is. "A Gray
Morning." is probably the finest in the ex-
hibit. This represents a portion of the
river at Corydon, at the spot where it has
formed quiet little pool Green trees
and the brown tops of country homes form
the background to the scene. over all falls
the clear light of sunrise, mingled with the
soft gray mist Of the morning. which Mr..
Forsyth has caught most faithfully No.
IA, Late Afternoon" is also a large cam
vas. and in 1t are combined Mr.. Forsyth's
No. u. IAN Autumn Morning" is hand
some piece of work. No. 3, After the
RAIN" is view of country scene, which
stands out clear and fresh after shower.
No. II is fine view of the old State cap
itol building at Corydon valuable from his
toric and artistic standpoints. No. 6, From
Under the Trees, is greatly to be adj
mired.
Some of the most beautiful of Mr.. For
syth's paintings those in which he
has put that mystical light, which falls
just between daylight and darkness. The
artist has turned his attention with in
creased ardor toward the portrayal of this
dusk light and has produced five canvases,
which are filled with 1t. No. 5, by An
Autumn Brook is superb and holds within
it the quiet charm of the evening hour.
Others of this class are No 8, IAN Autumn
Twilight No. 20. "At Dusk" and No. Is,
lin the Cleaning"
There are about fifteen water colors on
exhibition, the finest collection probably
that has ever been shown in this city. In
them scenes from Corydon have also fur
nished the inspiration, and charming little
scenes of the woods, fields and country
roads have been skillfully portrayed by Mr..
Forsyth No. 35. ITO the Ford" a little
view of the country road, is delightful; No.

of the grand old beech trees after the frost

committee may be sent to Indianapolis
in the near future by the War Department
to select an available site for the proposed
army post The committee will be con-
stituted probably of two members, one
qualified to pass on the sanitary conditions

A telegram received from Washington
last night states that the report of the
board of appraisers Of the arsenal grounds
Is expected at the War Department every

OF the grounds high enough to warrant the
purchase of an army post site the commit
tee will be sent at once. Adjutant General
Coroin has indicated to Representative
Overstreet that he desires to confer with
him as soon the report is received.
The report will be in the hands of Gen.
Corbin before the end of the week, II Is
understood, and immediate action will
probably be taken.

The Whippet.

Perhaps 20 other four footed creature
can run so fast for short distance as
the whippet. Even that king of all
racing dogs. the greyhound, has no Ii
cense to beat the whippet over the lat
ters distance. The small fellow gets
to the top of his speed so quickly that
the much larger and really faster
hound is beaten before he can get into
his stride. OF course ut any distance
much greater than 200 yards the grey
hound stands without peer.
The best of our sprinters do the 100
yards somewhere between nine and
ten seconds. but the springlng canine is
able to do almost two yards to the ath-
lete's one. For example. Rosette Ran

ever won the Crystal Palace handicap.

figure.-Leslie's Monthly.

But weight of numbers told in the

could with no danger or annoyance
