was certainly conspicuous finale of the

selected mostly from the choirs of city

has been under the dictatorship of Mr. Sid
ney Lloyd Wrightson. and the striking
comparison in quality of tone effects and
precision of the climaxes last evening with
the former work of the organization. testi-
fled in no small degree to the splendid
training of the singers by Mr.. wrightson
The program throughout showed fne eX-
preston and careful meditation disttn-
gushing characteristics in Mr.. Wrghtson s
work.
The incidental solos in Bruch's "Jubilate
Amen and Sullivan-Bartletts THE Lost

Miss HALEY, respectively were most graf
flying.
Mr.. Johannes Mierch, violnist, played
with his characteristic fidelity to tone and

poorly lighted. and some totally dark, max
ing it impossible to see a vehicle until

automobile Is required by law to equip mis-
machine with three Hghts-two front and
one rear. This law is a good one and no
objections made on the part of owners.
but how about other vehicles which swarm
the dark roads and blockade them by al
lowing their horses to walk at about two
mile-hour gait. and often stop them to rest
or cool off? If an automobilst Is on the
same road. going at a speed of twelve or
fifteen miles an hour which he has per-
feet right to do, how is he going to see
these small. dark spots, so to speak. until
too close to avoid an accident?
Many owners of automobiles, in their
frantic endeavor to avoid serious mshaps
or perhaps loss of life. have added to their
machines at considerable cost two or more
powerful searchights. ALL however are

the drivers or owners of horse carriages be

the satisfaction of knowing he can be seen
more than few feet away To avoid acci
