Friedenthaps Last Concert.

The Prudential recital yesterday aft

attended, and the artist appeared to
even better advantage than at his first
concert in the Opera House. A large
number of students We're present and
they seemed to enjoy the music.
The opening number, Beethoven's
Sonata in c, was pleasingIy rendered.
After Beethoven, Chopin occupied the
greater part of the program. The Gyp-
sizes Procession Schubert riedenthaD
was an exceptionally fine number. So
perfect was the rendition to the title
that it seemed as if gypsies could be
heard in the distance, gradually ap-
preaching, and then marching away
with the same graduation of sound
LISTS AT the Border of a Fountain"
was a piece of musical realism. The
ripping of the water could be distinctly
heard with occasional musical spIashes.

The last number, LISTS Campanella,
required great physical effort as well
as a powerful and accurate technique,
and was probably the most difficult
number on the program.

often been seen here. She only COM
pleted in November a very fast voyage
around the Horn from San Francisco to
New York, making the voyage in Ito
days. During the trip she was in a
heavy storm, her cargo shifted, and for
a time there was great danger of the
vessel being lost. The Hyde was built
in 1884 at Bath, Maine. and is owned
by the California Shipping Company of

Up to League for Decision.

The managers of the League baseball
teams held a meeting at 2:30 yesterday
afternoon at Elks' hall to determine
whether of not to act on the application
of the baseball team of the U. S. Ma
rines to be admitted into this seasons
games.
The meeting was held in executive
session and the report will not be made
public until presented to the league at
the special meeting called for Monday
evening. 1t is believed that the Marines
will not be able to join the league, ow-
ing to the financial arrangements into
which the FIVE teams already composing
it, have entered into with the trustees.
It was for this reason that the Customs
team was not admitted.
There are many members who incline
to give the Marines the privilege of
playing, as an added attraction to the
seasons sport, but on the other hand
they see the force of the objections.
