One day, as Pat halted at the top OF
the river bank, a man, famous for his
inQuisitive mind, stopped and asked:
How long have you hauled water

"Ah! How many loads do you take
IN a day."
From tin to fifteen, sor.'
"Ah, yes' Now | have n problem

 BIsPHAM2s SONG RECITAL.
Much Interest shown by New Haven
 People in Concert for Next Wednes-

Much Interest Shown by New Haven
 People in Concert for Next Wednes-
 day
 New Haven is showing a quite un- usual interest in the song recital by David Bispham, which is set for Wednesday evening, April 27, in Wool sey hall. Perhaps this is not as strange as it would have been a few years ago, for New Haven has made great prog ress in matters musical, and lets no good opportunity of hearing the best in music go by. Years ago New Haven was not considered a good musical town and song recitals and pianoforte re- citals were a flat failure. Even Pade- rewski drew small houses, and lesser stars of the piano had what is known to theatrical managers as a frost" Bt this is changed now. The great Woolsey hall is hardly large enough to accommodate the audiences that pour in to hear the symphonies, and many
 had to go without the pleasure of hear ing passion music, because there were no seats to be had after the first day S sale.
 The name of David Bispham never fails to draw an audience to fill any hall, and on any programme it means success. Mir Bispl1am seems to have a genius for finding songs the people like and singing them in a way to touch all hearts. The programme for Wednes- day night is an adrnirble one and has been made up of those selections in which he has attained his greatest suc- cesses during the present season, in cluding classical songs, modern Ger man lieder by Hugo Wolf and the dis tinguished visitor Dr. Richard Strauss three Wagner selections from Farsi | fal," "Tannhauser," and Rheingold,' 7 the latter being Alberich's famous Curse" Passing on from this serious group MT Bspham introduces cer- tain well-known songs in a lighter vein and concludes his programme with sev- eral of the more striking songs by Ann erican composers-atrue musical feast. MT. Bispham is having the most un- precedentedly successful season ever enjoyed by him or any other American
 concert singer. Starting with the New
 England festivals last September, he 1 has been in constant demand ever since singing i'll recital, oratorio and special ] programmes in over 50 cities and F
 states. In New York city he has ap- peared in 19 concerts and recitals. i And not only has the quantity of his
 work been impaired, but the quality as well Tn superb voice, and untrammel- lied by operatic work, he has been able ] to devote his entire time and attention to his concert appearances, with the re-
 suit that no artist hs achieved a like success to his of this season of 1903-4. His programmes have contained the choicest of classic gems, together witt the latest and most important of mod tern songs. He was the first to introduce
 to America thecelebrated Hugo Vol songs. which proved to be so great { success that he was forced to give il

MARTHA MARSHALL, e:O6 1-4,
 AND HER YOUNG FoAL.
Birdie Hal, s.14s, and Her cOIt-YOung-
 sfers With n creditnhIe Ancestry.

Birdie Hal, 2:14s, and Her coIt-YOung-
 sters With a CreditabIe Ancestry.
 Burton A. Davis, who resides in the suburbs of this city, has for several years indulged in his fancy for fine horses. and at present has several fast roadsters and other valuable horses in his stable. One of the most interesting of his equine stock is a young lilly, born this month, whose dam is the somewhat celebrated race winner Mar tha Marshall, 2:06A. The young lilly s claim to renowned ancestry is estab- lished by the fact that she was sired by Direct, 2:0515, a fast race horse with a long and creditable turf history. MT. Davis very wisely retired Martha Mar shall from race tracks several years ago and has given her a long rest, which partly accounts for her success with her first foal.
 As both sire and dam of the Davis Ally are pacers she may be expected to show her natural speed at the pace, but it is not certain that she will, as both sire and dam were formerly trotters. During her early years Martha Mar shall was trotter. but changed to the pacing gait about the time she was three years old. Her dam, Maud, was also a trotter and was noted as fast roadster at that gait. She has trotted ten miles in forty-five minutes without being crowded to her fastest speed. The sire of Martha Marshall, 2:06A, was Grand Marshall, a remarkably handsome and intelligent horse that was trotter naturally, but learned to pace and was fast at the latter gait.
 The sire of Grand Marshall was Gam betta Wilkes, 2:19A, celebrated as a trotter and sire of trotters. Other branches of the pedigree may be traced with the same result-trotting blood predominates.
 Regarding the fast pacer Direct 2:051s, he was formerly trotter. and a fast one, his record at that gait being PISA, made when he was four years old. He is celebrated as trotter, as a pacer and as sire. He is the sire of Direct Hal,. 2:04A, and Prince Direct, |2:07. These two flyers made q mile in |2:051s, pacing as a pair in double har- ness. Direct, 2:051s, is intensely trot- ting bred.
 Another fast pacer that has recently produced her first foal is Birdie Hal, 2:14A, owned by James F. Molloy, of this city. The mare is the dam of a horse colt sired by the pacing stallion Joe Patchen, 2:01A, horse that has been celebrated for long time, and whose celebrity has been increased during recent years by the remarkable speed of his son, Dan Patch, 1:56A holder of the worlds record for fastest pacer and large number of other rec ords. For several years the latter has been in the hands of M. E. McHenry an expert trainer and race driver. A good authority has recently stated that the only heat that Dan Patch, 1:56A ever lost with McHenry in the sulky was won by Martha Marshall, 2:06A whose trainer at that time was Andy McDowell
 MT. Molloy, who owns a large number of valuable horses, wants more stock o1 the Birdie Hal (2:14A)-Joe Patchen (2:01A) type. His fast paeer is expect ed to produce another foal by the same sire next year.

Grond opera House.

''The Ministers Son." which comes to the Grand the first three days next week, ia devoid of the usual travelled path of rural dramas, seeking effects by other means than the exploiting of live stock and kindred devices, which have grown tiresome through familiarity. The somple way and naturalness of the characters in the play, helped along by a clever company, make this production one that will finger long and pleasantly in your memory. In looking over the press reports where this attraction has appeared through this part of the state we fail to find one adverse criticism. Matinee Wednesday.

DOCTORS BRAVE RESCUE.

Tries to Stop Runaway on Howard
 Avenue and Drags Young Child from
 Flying Carriage.
 As M. H. Howard, of the Howard Brick company, was driving to his home, 19S Boulevard, accompanied by his six-year-old daughter, about 5:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon, his horse, a spirited animal, became frightened at the whistle on a peanut vendors cart at the corner of Howard and Washington avenues. The infuriated animal rushed madly down Howard avenue, entirely uncomfortable. When the swaying car riage arrived in front of No. Is engine house MT. Howard was thrown out, the child remaining in the carriage.
 pr. William J. Butler was walking towards his home, 712 Howard avenue, and he saw the on-rushing team with the little child clinging alone on the seat He ran into the road, and, re- gardless of personal danger, made a grab for the horse, who jumped side ways. As the team passed the doctor he at the risk of being run down, grabbed the child from the seat and jumped backwards to safety. The horse continued running until it arrived at Congress avenue, when it was stopped by some unknown individual.
 MT. Howard and his daughter were taken to Dr. Buffers office, where the doctor attended them. The child was found to be unharmed, thanks to the doctors brave act, while MT. Howard s injuries luckily consisted of only few slight bruises.
 Neither the horse nor carriage was badly damaged.
