Receive Ovations---4Afternoon Program.
Pittsburg Orchestra and Its Leader Strauss
and Herbert's Methods Contrasted.

by this that Herbert Is Ia any way
lacking In m0desty, hut DR.. Strauss
undoubtedly conducts with more ease
than any orchestra conductor living
to-day. He stands before bis ofches-
ira cool and calm and waves hut one
hand throughout the majority Of his
compositions Every now and again
when working for extreme and power
full effects you see a slight but decis-
i've bend to his tall figure and leaning
slightly over, he literally pulls the
to, % out of his players. He atiirms
thai repose is the greatest requirement
OF conductor and sometimes in Ber-
lin b. conducts for six or seven hours
a day but seldom feels weary from
his task
There were many Herbert followers
10 the audience, aud most Of them
offered up silent blessings at being so
constituted that they could enjoy to
the quick two such totally different
men and that they coald pay homage
TO the one great man without tearing
the laurel from the brow OF the other.
Everything about Dr. Strauss pleas
ed the public from their first to last
sight Of bm. his striking ap-
pearance, MODEST and impressive; his
mannar cordial and unc9nstrained;
bis beat calm aud authoritative. A
wonderful man 10 every respect, who
will never spoil whose brilliant ca
reer has been so marked aud whoae
genius places him where no crown
rests % any monarchs head, as his
domain is the entire world, the musi-
cal world.

TIA, DR.. Strauss, Victor Herbert and
Dean Wrightson was taken. DIR.
Strauss and MIR. Herbert perform
ed an amusing pantomime 10 the
'tafter YOU vein 10 deciding who

cree, and the argument was ended by
all three standing in line.
