Honor MT. Guckenberger.

"The Invitation to the Dance" by Weber, with Felix Weingartner's adapta- tion, finished the first part of the pro- gramme. A very happy incident of the evening was the presentation, during the 1 intermssion, of a beautiful bronze statue to Professor Guckenberger from the chorus The presentation was done by Mir. George P Jackson with the follow ing earnest and eloquent words: "A member of the chorus expressed what seemed to me to be the sentiment of all Birmingham people when he said to me the other day that 1t Is with feel ing of personal sadness and loss that we contemplate the departure of Prof. Guck- enberger from Birmingham, and it is with this feeling that we embrace the last opportunity publicly to express our sincere appreciation of himself and his work among us.
 MT. Guckenberger, many of us have known you ever since you came here seven years ago. A great many members of the present chorus have worked under your guidance for the success of all four of our music festivals. We have worked hard and have enjoyed 1t thoroughly, but you, MT. Guckenberger, have been the in spin ation of the whole movement. You have been the very life of 1t all. Before you came to Birmingham such festivals as these were not within the range of possibility, and for tbis, if for nothing else you will leave Birmingham people your everlasting debtors.
 When we consider the enormous tasks which you have undertaken and so sue oessfuly carried out, our own meagre CO., operation falls far short of what you have deserved at our hands. And now upon the eve of your departure the Bir- mipgham Festival Chorus asks me to pre- sent YOU with this token of their high es- teem of you as a musician and man. To express our high appreciation and grati- tude to you for all you have done for us and to wish you and that estimable artist and woman, Mrs. Guckenberger, the high degree of success which you so justly de- serve.
 MT. Guckenberger, we do not want to say goodbye to you, but 'auf wieder- sehn.'
 MT. Guckenberger Pleased.
 The flora Novissima was the most dif- ficnit choral of the two concerts. Miss Clifford, Mrs. Guckenberger, MT. Hamlin and MT. Ehrgott won new laurels by their beautiful rendition of the various solos.
 Mrs. GuckenDerger was particularly pleasing. The orchestration of this num- Der is som ething magnificent and the en- semble created fully as much enthusiasm as either of the choral numbers of the previous concert.
 A reception to the Thomas Orchestra and farewell to MT Guckenberger was held after the performance last night in the Turn Verein Hall. All the male par ticipants in last nights concert and a few invited guests were entertained with a reception and smoker by the local Ger man Club.
 Mr. Julius Rembrandt was toast mas ter and the following responded to toasts: MT. Sandman, Dr. Newfield, Father

RARE CHINA.
Specimen Worth More Than ITS
Weight in Gold.

Minneapolis Times.
II you happen to possess a cup or sau-
Ger with five-claw green dragon on it.,
or a porcelain bowl decorated with a six
teen-petaled chrysanthemum, though, per-
haps, you are unaware of the fact, you
have treasure that is worth its weight
In gold But however richly decorated
the piece of porcelain may otherwise
be, unless the dragon has five claws and
| the chrysanthemum sixteen petals, no
more and no less, it has no value in one
particular respect.
Now, the reason why a dragon with five
claws or a chrysanthemum of sixteen pet
ais makes very ordinary looking cup or
saucer worth so much Is this A green
dragon with five claws is the crest of the
Chinese Emperor, and IL Is only the porce-
lain manufactured for his special use
that is permitted to bear that device. In
deed, In China the severest penalties are
enforced against anyone even found with
such porcelain in his POSSESSION.
AS a five-claw dragon is the crest of
the Chinese Emperor, so SIXTEEN etaled
chrysanthemum Is that of His Imperial
Majesty of japan, and porcelain so dec
GRATED is for his use only. To prove 1t
any of this porcelain reaching the out
SIDE market. the greatest precautions are
taken both In the factory and at the PAL
ace. All pieces not in use, or rejected
at the factory as imperfect. are at once
destroyed by officers appointed for that
purpose. But in spite of penalties and
precautions, few pieces of both do oc-
casionally escape official vigilance and
these are likely to be found in the most
unexpected places.
1t will thus be seen that If you should
discover in your china closet saucer
with a fve-claw dragon on 1t, or a little
bowl bearing a sixteen-petaled chrysan-
thcmum, you have a treasure whose prop
er place is In your reception room.
In connection with this much coveted
imperial porcelain there is a cracked plate
somewhere that would be worth $500 to
fortunate discoverer. When the ia
NOUS royal Worcester dinner set was
made for the English crown service three
plates slightly damaged were rejected.
but. by some oversight, not destroyed
Two of these plates found their way into
private collection. and are so treasured
that 500 each has been Offered in vain for
them by the Lord Chamberlaips depart
ment. The third plate has disappeared
bit even If found in pieces the offer of
500 still holds good.
