]. II. DALEY
Was a Musical Feast of Great
Excellence.
AUDIENCE NOT LARGE
Prof. Daley Was Assisted By Mr..
Ben Franklin, Tenor, Of
Troy.
AUDIENCE NOT LARGE

The recital by John H. Daley, Plan.
ist, assisted by Ben Franklin, tenor
in Academy hall, Wednesday evening
was musical feast of such excellence
as is rarely set before a Bennington
audience. The attendance was not as
large as the merit of the program war
ranted.
The entertainment began with an
unprogrammed piece, "The song of the
Heel" by the ushers and the late arri-
walls, selection with which local aud
fences have been long familiar. Be-
cause of the brilliant stacca.o style in
which it was rendered it somewhat
marred the complete enjoyment of Mr.
Daley's thoroughly enjoyable playing
of Moszkowski's Waltz in E major.
The second number, an aria, "Lend
me Your Aid" from Gounod's "Queen
of Sheba" was sung with success by
Mr. Franklin.
Rubenstein's "Kammenoi Ostrow"
of a delicate movement, was given by
Mr. Daley, and Mr. Franklin sang
Lady Carolina Marines Scotch poem
''The Land o. the Leal" with Arthur
Foote' S music, andit gave special satis-
faction with the "Morgen" of Richard
Straus and followed with a serenade
of Shubert.
"Berceuse" by Shytte was contribut-
ed by Mr. Daley and the Shumann-
Liszt "Widmung" was received and
encored enthusiastically.
Mr. Franklin next sang Chadwick's
"Allah" and had sufficient confidence
in his audience to try on "The Mono
tone" by Cornelius, He fairly exceed
ed himself in the prize song from Wag-
ner's Die Meistersinger".
Compelled to respond to an encore,
he sang Heine's poem, Thou art like
unto flower" "
Then came the piano solo, "Abends"
by Raft and "Erotik" by Grieg which
seemed to fit Mr. Daley especially well.
He was at his best in Chopin's "Mili-
tary Polonaise" in which he expressed
so much fervor that he was loudly APP
plauded and forced 10 return with
an encore.
Mr. Franklin concluded the program
with the Won Fielitz song cycle "E i
land" which afforded him great op.
portunity in the widely dissimilar
nature of its ten selections. r. H.

LOnuOuJ Apfu lf.-A ulspaIcn IC
the Central News bureau states that
the fall of Port Arthur is believed tc
be imminent.
The continued losses of the Russian
fleet have so weakened it that it will be
no longer possible for it to take the
offensive against the japanese.
Captain n. Jakovlor, the Grand
Duke Cyril and two other officers were
saved because they were standing on
the upper bridge. The frightful loss of
life among the officers and men was
due to the fact that they all were at
their stations, ready for action.
Makaroff is believed TO have been
in the coming tower when the Petro-
pavlovsk was blown up. Grand Duke
Cyril probably owes his life to the fact
that he is fine athlete and a splendid
swimmer.
What occurred prior to the blowing
up Of the flagship is only vaguely
known, except that Vice Admiral Ma
karoff, with his flag flying on the doom
ed vessel, sailed out to engage the enc
my until his re-enforcements appeared.
1t is thought possible that Vice Ad-
miral Togo planned an ambuscade by
sending in a small squadron in the
hope of drawing out the Russian COM
mander to the open and then cutting
him off. 1t is said that Admiral Maka-
rolf was not anxious to resign his COM
mand of Cronstadt, which necessitated
his leaving his wife and family, but the
emperor held such a high opinion of
him that he declined to consider other
candidates, although it was pointed out
that Rear Admiral Rojestvensky, chief
of the general staff of the navy, who
has just been appointed to command
the Baltic squadron and who is now
destined to succeed Makaroff, as well
as others, were anxious to distinguish
themselves.
The emperor in his summons to Vice
Admiral Makaroff said, my choice has
fallen upon you, and will not take a
refusal" And so the admiral went to
the far east. The emperors sorrow is
doubly keen on this account.
By imperial command a requiem
service will be celebrated at the Ad-
mlralty church at noon today for the
emperors favorite admiral. 1t is gen.
orally believed that he will be succeed
ed by Rear Admiral Rojestvensky, who
was slated to command the Baltic
squadron.
Rear Admiral Rojestvensky is q man
of an utterly different mold from Vice
Admiral Makaroff. He is a very able
sailor and man Of talent and ability,
but he is not so POPULAR with the jack
les as was the dead commander in
chief.
1t has been learned that the location
of six of the mines planted by the
Yenesei was unknown, the charts
having been lost when that vessel
went down Probably it was one of
these mines that the Petropavlovsk
struck.
Another report says that the Russian
fleet went out to meet the Japanese
and engaged them, with the result that
the Petropavlovsk was torpedoed three
