Third Successful One Last Night-Ex-
 cellent Programme
 The popularity of the Sunday night
 concerts given by the Dorscllt lodge or chestra was again attested by the very large audience which filled the Hyperi- on last night. The concert was the third of the present season and was ex- tremely well given and thoroughly en- l joyed. Many were the expressions of commendation heard on all sides re- garding the splendid selections given by the orchestra and the assisting solosts. The entire programme was one of merit and so carefully arranged that interest was not lacking in any number. There was a. refreshing dissimilarity between the numbers which is so often lacking in concert programmes. A happy and pleasing medium was struck in that neither of the extremes of popular nor the classical were given.
 The soloists of the evening were Miss Bessie L.. O'Brien, soprano, and Bert Cass and o. c. Vogenitz, clarionetists. Miss O'Brien is a New Haven young lady and made her initial bow before New Haven audience of such propor-
 
 has been heard in numerous smaller af- fairs. She possesses a voice of remark able sweetness, but trife too small for such auditoriums as the Hyperion. Her several numbers were excellently rem dered from an artistic point of view, and she was the recipient of generous encores. The clarionet duett by Messrs. Cass and Vogenitz was splendidly done and heartily encored.
 The work of the orchestra under the direction of MT. Fichtl was in keeping with that standard of excellence which it has set on previous appearances, and doubtless many new admirers were added to the already long list. One piece especially enjoyed was the "En- tr'acte" from Charlotte Corday, which was given by request and so superbly that an encore was demanded The de- scriptive piece Around the World in Fifteen Minutes" was also very novel and enjoyable.
 It can safely be said that the remain ing concerts of the season will be greet ed with audiences even greater than ever The date announced for the next is March 16
 4hoi IS t1ltiiiSi l,- liie plcllo ueuiCl anu and well known patron of music, of this city, has presented to Dorscht lodge No. 2, of which he is the most honored member, a set of six paintings of antiquity and great value The paintings are characteristic of the period of their execution and have at- tracted considerable attention in Prov idence, Boston, New York and Bridge l port, where they have been on exhibi- l ton at the various stores of the Stein- ert &c Sons company. They at first i sight appear to be rudely executed, but | upon closer inspection they show the 1 hand of a master and while some of l hem are trif1e faded from exposure, l the coloring is still in good preserva- ton. The idea of the paintings is hu- | and each shows one or more | musicians performing upon the instru- ! nents of the day in grotesque attitudes | The paintings had been on exhibition i n New York, but were sent here Sat lrday, and with their arrival Dorscht | odge received a very appropriate and letter from MT. Steinert | descriptive of the paintings and express tive of his regard for Dorscht lodge. MT. Steinert leaves this week for an- ,ther stay at Lakewood N. J. His laughter, Mrs. Mollie Ullman, with her ,aby daughter, goes with him.
