A DAYS INCIDENTS.

Performances OF la .Gioconda" In the afternoon
and Lucia di Lammermoor' in the evening at the
opera and Mr. Kubelit's first recital at Carnegie
Hall in the afternoon were the musical occurrences
which invite record and few words Of comment
Ponchfellfs opera had opened the season and
there being changes in the cast, the record is
easily made. II was heard by crowded house and
received with vocferous expressions Of favor.
Word had gone out that Nine Nordica was not
well but there was evidence Of that fact In her
singing in which she displayed all the plentude OF
her powers.
The representation OF Lucia" brought Nine
Sembrich forward in one of her most brilliant
roles-a role IN which she won her most pronounced
success when she first mace the walls OF the Met
ropolitan Opera House echo to her beautiful voice
and art. in which she had no rival them has had
mono since and has none now All her associates
last night were we'll known people-Mr. Dppel ed
gardo) and Mr.. Journet C3aimondo). There was
one newcomer in Mr.. Conrieds lists, Mr.. Bell
Resky, BARITONE of the provincial italian type
who looked well and sang such type Of singer
generally sings, which is the manner agreeable
to New-York-too full Of vocal vices The opera
called out an audience numerous as the house
could well hold and there was enthusiasm for
Nine. Sembrich's singing, which was of her best.
Mr.. Kubeliks concert attended by a fine
audience. which at the end INDUCED itself with
the customary pastime. become too common
and artificial to be longer impressive, of crowding
about the feet OF the player to gather up the
twelve baskets OF crumbs which remained after
the set feast. The playing OF the young artist
was marvellous in the extreme, especially in the
technical tours de force with which the concert
ended His reading of a sonata in E by Handel
delightfully."- lucid and sane, his dash in Ernst
Pathetic" particularly his double stopping, and
in Paganinis ''Campanella'' bewilderng, but what
a waste Of skill and energy marked the concerto!
Must such things be? There were many additions
to the list of course-the familiar transcription OF
Chopin's fat nocturne, after the concerto; the
prelude to Bach's sixth solo sonata, after the Han
del piece; the 'Campanella," and so on

comment In art circles.

Art League said last night. speaking for himself
and other artists who have been fighting for free
art:
The historic attitude OF antipathy of Congress
man Payne has been well known to the artists
for a good many years. That he had ever had
any sympathy for or gave US any help TO remove
the duty on art is absolute news
His obstinacy has been our greatest obstacle We
have had no hope from Mr.. Payne, and his chair
manship of the Ways and Means Committee makes
his opposition particularly serious. We have en-
deavored TO make him realize that have no de-
sire to change the tariff in general We make no
reference to any article but works of art and all
enlightened Congressman and Senators are at heart
in sympathy with
That the tariff on art restored at the request
Of artists l challenge Mr. Payne TO prove.
