Washington Symphony Orchestra.

The washington Symphony Orchestra .
present season terminated yesterday after
noon with a concert at the Lafayette The
ater 1t was brilliant finale to very
delightful series of entertainments In
deed, the work of the orchestra was by
far the best of the seasons efforts, show
ing conclusively Mr.. Reginald De koven's g
conscientious and artistic direction.
The "Lenore' overture, by Beethoven,
better known as No. 3, was the opening
number, and was admirably interpreted.
For a symphony the orchestra rendered
Tschaihowskys No. 5, in Z minor, and they
scored great success. even surprising
their many friends, who had studiously
watched their progress.
At this point in the program Mr.. Edward
H. Droop, treasurer of the organization
came to the front of the stage and pre-
sented in forceful and business-like way
statement of the work of the orchestra,
and also some fiscal matters. He made a
strong appeal to all present for liberal sup
port and represented that unless a suffi-
cient fund is raised by June 1 the orchestra
will have to be abandoned.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr.. DroOp
presented Mr.. De Koven on behalf of the
orchestra a large laurel wreath inter-
twined with American Beauty roses. and
followed the presentation by presenting
also neat silver cigarette case, hand
somely engraved.
Mr.. De koven responded with much feel
ing, declaring that he was deeply sensible
to the support and aid given him by the
orchestra in his efforts to establish a per-
manent orchestra in Washington, and that
it was his dearest wish to see it continued
and placed on a solid financial basis.
The soloist was Miss Shannah Cumming
of New York, not a stranger to musical
life here. Her solos were the "Dich
I'M. hoo,
SER" and Pizzis aria. Dolce Amors."
Miss Cumming has a light soprano voice
of good quality. 1t was most pleasing in
the second number, where her delightful
high tones appeared strong and clear. She
very graciously responded to an encore
and repeated the latter part of the aria.
The program concluded with Liszts SYM
phonic poem No. 3, Les Preludes, which
was admirably rendered. Here the violins
distinguished themselves by some very
clever work. 1t was the gem Of the after
Moons performance, and Mr.. De Koven
and his co-laborers deserved the enthusi-
astc applause that greeted its conclusion

tators, and platoon of the Sd Field Bat
terry, under Lieut.. Kilbourne, went through
a variety OF intricate movements which
brought forth round after round of ap-
DiauSe.
1t is understood that next week the 4th
Field Battery's platoon of horse artillery
will make its first public appearance. This
is the detachment which is to represent the
artillery arm of the service at Madison

oannoneers mounted on horses instead of on
the timber chests and axle seats. While
drill regulations for horse artillery are con-
tanned in the field battery book of tactics
