TO PRESERVE OLD TOWN RECORDS.
Bill to Place Them in the Department of
the State Historian.

Albany. Jan. 1.-THE New-York State Historical
Society has procured the introduction of bill to
enlarge the duties Of the State Historian and place
hIm in practical charge Of the records OF every
political division of the State and to obtain return
from private individuals Of any public books or
records. In urging the bill the society calls atten-
ton to the incompleteness and inaccessib;lity of
records in Kings County and in New-York, and
adds:
The records OF the towns of Staten Island prior
to 1924 or later dates cannot now be found. and
those which remain in the offices in most cases
very incomplete. The records of the former towns
of BuShWick and New-Lots in Kings County are no
longer to be found in any office. The few remaining
volumes of the records Of Williamsburg were found
covered with dust in a neglected case in the Bor-
ough Hail. Brooklyn.
The ancient and most valuable records of ia
maica, Flushing and Newtown now lodged in
room in the Stewart Building. Manhattan, where
with mass Of other archives, they are eonstanuX m ~

MUSIC.
II Days Doings IN Opera and
Concert

AS usual yesterday was Saturday OF repetitions
at our musical institutions. Circumstances COM
bined to emphasize the weekly rule or iteration,
for, though effort made to give repre-
sentation of Faust such would have been
dear to the hearts of the Metropotan's regular
patrons. 1t turned cut replica OF the hrst per
formance, with its disappointing substitution OF
Mime. Seygard for Nine. Eames in the part Oh
Marguerite. Nine. Eames indisposed but
fine audience heard Gounods opera nevertheless
and heard it given well and sympatheticaly.
Messrs. Alvarez Scotti. Edorard de Reszke and
Miss Bridewell were the other first singers con-
cerned In the evening there was another repe-
tition. with noteworthy feature which however
not quite so unexpected that which foi-
lowed upon the second absence of Nine ha1nes.
''Tannhauser' given the opening hslit
of the season. with Herr Gerhauser as the nerolc
minstrel. Since that unhappy first nlght f1erF
Gerhauser has been silent; but he seems to nave
been improving his vacation. for he sang fiore
musically than before and acted with a ognileo
manliness and dramatic conviction that went IdF
toward winning the respect OF his audience which
in point of numbers and enthusiasm was the
equal of that in attendance on the afternoon per
formance His companions were the same as ''
the first representation Of the opera, except lhdI
Mr.. Bispham was the Wolfram. as at the per-
formance in which Herr Antilles took part MINE
Gadski was the Elizabeth. Mr.. Blass the Land
grave and Miss Maryll the Venus
There was also repetition, with somewhat less
cause at the concert by the Boston symphony Or
began with Brahms's first symphony. Mr.. ScheeI
had made this admired work the chief feature OF
the concert given here two months ago. Comparl-
not always odious, but neither are the!
always profitable, and the lovers OF symphonic
music III New-York, where much Is offered Tor
their delectaton, prefer variety of music to va
riety OF performance. Dupications cannot always
be avoided, but there is no reason why they should
be hailed with gladness. matter how superior
the second performance may be-like that OF yes
terday. for instance Mr.. Gericke is always par
ticularly admirable in Brahms's music, and so he
was again yesterday. novelty in the concert
room was an excerpt from Goldmarks ope'r
Merlin which feature of the German sea
son at the Metropolitan Opera House fifteen years
ago. The excerpt, not particularly effective de-
nuded of its scenic accompaniments, was the
chorus of spirits and the ballet music of the sec
ond act The solo features of the concert were
Gounods 80 Lyre irnmortee,' from "Sapho."
and the last two of Edward Cigars Sea Pictures.
one of which had been sung previously at one OF
Frank Damroschs Young Peoples Concerts.
