Maine Music Festival.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that all
lovers of good music-all who would
regret the discontinuance of the great
Maine music festivals -will make a
supreme effort to attend the festival
at Bangor. The first concert will be
tomorrow evening; there will be con-
certs Friday afternoon and evening,
and Saturday afternoon and evening.
The value Of these festivals as an
educational influence cannot be over
estimated. We have endeavored
again and again to set this forth, and
we trust it has not been without its
effect in this vicinity.
We print in another column the
programmes of the FIVE concerts; any
one is well worth the cost in time and
money.
The great Schumann Heink will be
heard Saturday evening.
For the benefit of all along the line
Of the Mt. Desert branch OF the Maine
Central and Washington county rail-
roads, it may be stated that a special
train will be run from Bangor after
the Saturday night concert.

On wednesdsT evening OF last week the
THIRD annual concert OF the Bar Harbor
choral society was given at the Casino
before an audience which practically
fiiied the house, aud 1t Is the universal
verdict that the concert was by far the
best that the society has given. The pro-
Ersmme OF unusual merit was performed
In manner which left little room for
criticism.
The chorus sang in a splendid manner !;
the soloists are widely kRown for their
ability, and the orchestra was made up
from among the best musicians of Maine.
The chorus numbered about eighty
voices. The concert opened with the can
tsts "Fair Elem, IN W ich the solo parts
were taken by Miss MabsIle MoDsgh han,
OF Ellsworth, and Willard Bowdoin, of
Portland. The Handel largo, By the
string orchestra, was the next number,
and in response to the applause was re-
pested.
The string orchestra consisted Of
Francis j. WEIGH, Portland, II. {. Sawyer,
first violin; Vaughn Hamilton, Bangor,
second violin; Robert Drummond, Bangor,
viola; h. J. Sawyer, Bangor, cello; Z. A
Haley, Bangor, bass.
Vieux Temps "Fsntssie" appassionata
which wss rendered by Mr.. WEIGH, the
violin soloist, vas msgnideently executed,
and the audience demanded an encore
which was given.
The next number, Here They Come"
a chorus from Carmen, went with hne
dash and spirit, and In response to
vigorous applause was repeated.
The bird song from Davi1s Pearl of
Beszil" by Miss Mabelle Monaghan was
beautifully done, aud in response to sn
encore Miss Monaghan sang Bonnie
sweet Bessie.
The bird song was accompanied by q
dae flute obiigato by Walter Dobe, of
Boston. Other numbers by the chorus
were Fsaing's "Milier's Wooingn anu
Achieved Is the Glorious Work..
MIR. Bowdoin's splendid baritone voice
sikowsky's Pilgrim Song" aud as an
encore MI. Bowdoin sang "Gipsy Johu".
The concert closed with the GOOD
Night" song from "Erminie" by The
chorus.
Maurice c. Rumsey conducted in fisw-
less manner, and To his untiring efforts
was due in large measure the marked
success of the CONCERT.
An account of the concert would be-
incomplete without mention Of the work
OF Miss Ina Guptili, who played the piano

work of construction. AS to the
financial problem, Secretary Shaw
proposes to issue $3.50, 0O0, 900 of canal
bonds, to be taken up by the people.
The bonds will contain portrait OF
the late Senator Hanna, and when
they are put upon the market, the
admirers OF the senator, and those
who have been $50 anxious for the
canal, can manifest their patriotism
by rolling up huge subscription.
The labor question need not be set
tied for some time yet, as couple of
years will be needed to prepare the
plans and specifications. At present
it looks as il tens of thousands of
Chinese coolies will have TO be
brought to the isthmus. A white man
cannot bear up under the climate
while digging in the trenches. Much
of the work might be done by electric
light, after sunset. 1t has been asked
if the eight hour law of 1892 win apply
to this government contract Ad-
miral Walker says to adopt this law
would prolong the construction of the
canal for couple of years.
