The story Of how the King came to pu--

After the visit King Leopold. accomca-
MED BY Baron Snoy. his chamberlain took
q long walk in the beautiful gardens which
surround the hotel at Cap d Antilles. on
his departure the manager OF the hotel
was audacious enough TO ask his Majesty,
through Baron Snoy. to visit the Pare
Sella.
King Leopold accepted the invitation and
walked along one OF the most beautiful
pathways Of the peninsula, at the END OF
which is beiv=fere. The King assembled
TO the first floor. and after gazing at the
beautiful view which is obtained from the
tower thanked II. Stella, the proprietor
for the pleasure IL had afforded him.
This walk. however made such an I'M
preston on the King that four years later
he purchased the estate.

CHORAL SYMPHONY
SINGS THE MESSIAH
Despite Rain and Counter Attrac-
tons Large Audience At
tends the Odeon.
CHORUS is WELL BALANCED.
Orchestra Gave Fine support to
the SolOisrs-Rendition Is
Appreciated and Ap-
plaudcd.

II the attendauc. A the Choral SYM
phonv in the Odecn last night is at all a
criterion. the success Of the work Of the
sOcicty for this season is assured.
Regardless Of rain and counter attrac-
tons every seat in the Odeon was taken.
with the exception Of few N the front
part OF the house.
What is more. the audience was appre-
ciative. and encouraged the singers by
frequent applause.
When Director Ernst announced at the
rehearsa!s that he mad never directed a
better-baIanced chorus for the rendition
Of The Messiah he uttered a statement
which the audience last night seem to
readily concur in.
The work OF the chorus might have been
a little more effective II the members
The proscenium also to some extent inter
fered. but these are only minor details. On
the whole. the chorus numbers were well
done.
They possessed volume. and perfect time
was kept.
fred Ernst. gave fine support TO the solo
ists. Its work was especially good in the
pastoral symphony. which was well re-
ceived.
became SO enthusiastic that his baton flew
out of his hand back into tine center Of
the auditorium. but. undisnayei. he con-
tinued to beat time with both fists.
The ensemble work OF the quartet is to
be commended Mrs. Ccrinne Rider Kel-
sey. who sang the soprano arias of the
oratorio. was the star of the evening. Her
work probably has not been excelled at
any Messiah performance in St. Louis.
Her rendition Of Rejoice greatly. .
Daughters of Zion. one OF the most diff
tcult passages in the oratorio. was par
ticuariy good. At its close she received
much applause She is 4 cOnpa rative new
conner in music circles.
Miss Gustafson has a contralto voice
Of good range and sweetness. which was
displayed to good advantage in the we'll
known aria. He Shall Feed His Flock.
". Alfred Bertrand. tenor soloist. was
= bit unsteady in pitch at first but latC-
he became more at ease. His interprera-
ton was good. and his voice possesses
tremoio that produced pleasing effect
The next concert will he given January
% 1t will he a symphony at which the
chief orchestral work will be the great
Tschaikowsky Symphony No. in D
minor to which interest will bn added by
the engagement of an eminent soloist,
whose name will be announced later.
