Leaf Pruning OF the CRIME.

In order TO allow the sun to pene-
trate 10 and aid the ripenlng OF late
grapes 1t is often advisable late in
the season TO lessen the leafy shade OF
the vine. l. II. Bailey recommends
that this should be done by removing
the leaves from the center Of the vines.
and not by cutting away the canes.
In this way only those leaves are re-
moved which are injurious. and as
much leaf surface as possible is left
TO perform the autumn duty OF laying
up food material for the spring The
removal OF leaves should not be ex-
cessive. and IL considerable, should be
gradual. otherwise there is danger OF
sunburn. Ii is best. first. to remove
the leaves from below the fruit This
allows free circulation OF the air and
penetration OF the suns rays. which
warm the soil and are reflected upon
the fruit. This is generally sufficient.
and in any case only the leaves in the
center OF the vine. and especially those
which are beginning to turn yellow
should be removed.

N LEwIs BUCKINGHAM.

The news of the death of N. Lewis Buckingham, former resident of this city, has been learned in this city with wide regret.
 MT. Buckingham had been in business in Chicago for the past year. Appar- ently in the best of health on Saturday, 1 November 2, he returned home from the Chicago o-Nebraska football game, and while discussing the game with his wife he suddenly fell back in his ehair dead. Acute gastritis, with other com pllcations, was given as the cause of 1 death.
 MT. Buckingham was born in this city ffty-four years ago, attended the pulp | lie schools under Mir FaNrique, and General Russell's military school, also the old Lancasterian school under Prin- eipal Kelly
 In his early business days he was with Matthewman & Lewis, Sargent &s Co.,. Edward Malley company and J, N. 1 Adam company.
 He was well known to the younger men in the days when Colonel Hendryx was captain of the Grays.
 Three brothers survive hin-Charles C.. of the Mathushek Piano Mapufact- uring company of this city; William w., of Boston, and Alfred w., who is in the south. He leaves a wife and two daughters, who will remain in Chi cago,
 MT. Buckingham's body arrived at New Haven from Chicago on Wednes- day noon, November 2S, and was taken direct to Oak Grove cemetery, West Haven, where with Q simple committal service it was quietly laid in the fam ily lot with his father and mother and his only boy, who died several years ago.

BUCHHALTER IN NEW YORK.
New European Pianist Makes Debut
 Has Exceptional Abilities.

New European Pianist Makes Debut Has Exceptional Abilities.
 1 Simon Buchhalter, a new pianist of remarkable ability, recently made his debut in New York city. Buchhalter is a favorite pupil of the famous Julius Epstein, of Vienna, recognized as the greatest living authority on Beethoven piano literature. This gives him at the outset distinction among the hosts of foreign pianists who have come to storm the American citadel in the last two or three years. He is a young man, having not yet reached thirty, 1 full of enthusiasm for his work and ! with the heart and the head to play extremely we'll. His tendency is to- wards the classics, in which he is per haps best known in Europe, but his repertoire covers all modern writers. The programme for his opening recital in Mendelssohn hall, New York, last | Wednesday evening was most re- markable one and it was remarkably we'll played. It began with the organ concerto in D minor by Friedeman Bach, arranged for piano by August Strada, a composition probably never before heard for piano in New York; the Beethoven c minor variations, the Beethoven Sonata, Op. 10, No. 3; a Chopin group, the Brahms Scherzo in E flat minor, Warum and Grillen by schumann; a Schubert-Liszt transcrip- ton, and ended with the Liszt Mazep- pa. This was a programme which re- quired great technique, but it was not | the exhibition of technique which ap- pealed to his hearers, for technique alone has come to be common property of all planists who make the slightest | demand for recognition. Buchhalter reached the hearts of the audience by the music of the compositions he play ed and not by acrobatic feats. He showed that he knew how to make the piano sing and how to make it thunder, and he had command of all the piano dynamics between the two. As was to be expected, he was very effective in the Beethoven compositions, where his clear, masterly reading showed both head and heart. His tone here, as we'll as in the other works on the pro gramme, was large and round, and or strikingly virile quality, His finest performance was that of the. Brahms scherzo, which he made tremendously big and impressive.
 Buchhalter may be heard in New Haven before the end of the winter l season.
