The Saengerbund eclipsed its previous er-
forts at the second public concert OF the
organiza ton, given at the National Theater
last night. The house was crowded with
friends of the club who were most gen.
erous with their applause. The soloists

Kelsey, soprano, and Mr. David Names,
violinist both of New York. Mrs. Rider-Kel-
sey made her first appearance in Washing

a triumph of year or SO ago. The soprano
soloist pleased from the start. She has
rich, full voice, with excellent compass
and range. The aria from MaSsenets
"Herodiade," her first number, was not
calculated to show her voice to the best
advantage, although it was rendered with
excellent effect, but her encore, The
Years at the SPRING" by Beach, was de-

most enthusiastic applause.
The playing of Mr.. Names was excellent
in every particular. The soloist and MS
violin captured the hearts of the Saenger-
bund when he played at one of the public
concerts two years ago, and much was eX-
pected of his appearance last night. He
did not disappoint his admirers. The per-
Torrance was of a high order throughout.
Capricio" was rendered with a perfection
of technique that brought forth a storm OF
applause. AS an encore he played GODDARD
"Adagio Pathetique with great feeling:
He gave a double number on his second
appearance later in the evening, Svendsen's
Romance" and d'Ambrosias Cannon
eta He played The Fiddler" as an en-
core.
The remainder of the program was quite
up to the Saengerbund standard. The or
chestra played Martha as the overture
and during the program the nocturne
from Mendelssohn's Midsummer Nights
Dream" Gillet's "Serenade Impromptu'
and Soederman's characteristic Swedish
Wedding March," The part of the chorus

in the Potomac, have appeared in the river,
and in the course of a few days the fish
wharf here will be busy place with the
arrival and departure of the fish-laden

fish for the winter market. The herring In
January, and even earlier, are found in
Florida waters, and they gradually work
their way up the coast coming in Chesa-
peake bay and reaching the Potomac about
the middle of March or early in April.
Many millions of the fish are caught each
season in the nets that bar the progress of
the fish from the capes of the Chesapeake
to this city, and the only wonder is that
any get through to reach the waters of the
District, where they can spawn in quiet
and peace, the laws of the District not al
lowing the catching of the fish with nets
In the spawning season the river and
streams about the city are alive with the
fish, and they can be seen in schools swim
min gabout from Alexandria to the falls
of the Potomac above Georgetown.
This morning shipment of ITO Potomac
herring was received at the fish wharf
from st. Georges Island, and they were
quickly sold to the dealers in the uptown
market. The fish were fine specimens OF
the species, and were as large as those
caught in midseason. when they are sup
posed to reach perfection in size and flavor
