at the Morris County Savings Bank,
was given a surprise party at his coun-
try home in Washington Valley last
week in honor Of his birthday. The

was neatly decorated with dogwood
and ferns. The table decorations were
red carnations and on each napkin was

Effects of yellow Journalism.

When Mayor Reed opened his mail
last Saturday morning he was sur
prised as well as amused at letter
signed by very prominent citizen OF
New York city, in which the writer
offered his services as town treasurer
without compensation for several
months.
II understand from the press, y
says the writer, "that your town is
in bad financial condition, and being
an ex-treasurer | appreciate such a
circumstance. l therefore offer you
my services free for the next six
months in the capacity of town
treasurer"
The Mayor said he had good
notion to accept, but inasmuch as the
Board of Aldermen had elected such
an officer he did not see how he
could.

A MORNING MUSICALE.
FashfonabIes Gather at the Home of
Mrs. Edward A. Day on Madi-
son Avenue Tuesday.

A rising thermometer and falling
barometer produced atmospheric con-
ditions which under ordinary circum-
stances would seem to preclude the
possibility of a successful morning
musicale, yet thatsuch isnot always the
case was shown Tuesday when large
and fashionable crowd gathered at
the home of Mrs. Edward A. Day on
Madison avenue, and filled the spaci-
Gus parlors to overflowing. The
event was the morning musicale under
direction of Victor Harris, of New
York, and the soloists were Miss Anna
Bussert, soprano, and Mr.. Karl Grie-
nauer, 'cellist. Both are well-known
artists and they gave program which
was full of delight for the lovers OF
good music.
1t was as much of a success as the
most ardent admirer of the artists
could have wished. Miss Bussert was
in splendid voice and sang with great
effect Pages aria from The Huguenots.
This is number which calls for all
that is in a singer. To give the song
life the singer must feel the environ
ment of the opera. That Miss Bussert
had studied the opera long and faith
fully was amply shown from her
Interpretation of this selection. The
last number on the program is an
original composition by Mr.. Harris
and was received with enthusiasm by
the audience. 1t has none Of the
commonplace so often found in modern
compositions but is thoroughly quaint
and original, in good madrigal style,
but without the shadow of reminis-
cenSe.
Herr Grienauer is one of the new
'cellists in New York That is, he
has been in the metropolis only -four
seasons, coming from Leipsic, where
he held high position among the old
world artists. Since his arrival in
New York he has achieved great sue
cess with his recitalS and chamber
music concerts. The last movement
of the Rubenstein sonata gave him
full opportunity to exhibit his wonder
full skill as well as chance to show
the smOothneSs of his legato work.
The most popular cello selection,
probably was Peppers '"The But
terfly," a charming thing in which
the fingers seem to fly all over the
instrument and never to rest long
in one place, just as butterfly hovers
over a field of flowers but never
settles at perfect rest on any stem.
Among those present were: Mrs.
Julius Catlin, Mrs. Byron Sherman,
Mrs. Gordon Sherman, Mrs Stephen
Little, Mrs. Wynant Vanderpool, Mrs.
George G. Frelinghuysen, Mrs. Charles
f. Bradley, Mrs. Gilbert Ramsey
Potts, Mrs. Robert Dumont Foote,
Mrs. George Stuart Willis, Mrs. Lloyd
Saltus, Mrs. Louis A. Thebaud, Mrs.
Granville White, Mrs. Alexander
Harvey Tiers, Mrs. Marmaduke Til
den, Mrs. Charles Harkness, Mrs,
William M. Hughes.

With the Horsemen.

There is every indication that the
Dover Association will abandon the
project of a race meeting on Decora-

little interest, and the local horses
are in the intirmary.
Under the new management of the
Morristown Driving Park many speed

VIM. II. Emery, of the Mansion House
stables, is training a beautiful three
year-old that promises to be as fast an

very little exertion it is going eighths

pacing gelding named dan" that is
very promising. Others are on the
