PEOPLES SYMPHONY CONCERTS.
A Request Programme Opens The Series OF
the Seventh Year.

the SeNenIn ear.
The seventh season of the Peoples SYM
phony Concerts is now under way. 1t
began on Thursday night at Cooper Union,
and Last night the same concert was re-
peated at Carnegie Hall. The programme
consisted of Memberships Midsummer
Nights Dream" overture, B~eethoven's fifth
symphony, the ~vorspiel and liebestod from
Wagner's Tristan und Isolde" and Tschai-
kowsky's "Marche Slav." The singer in
the Wagner number was Isabel Bouton,
who was formerly a member otthe Metro
politan Opera House company.
These concerts are carried on in connec-
tion with the work of the Educational ALI
ance, the University settlement and some
other organizations and are intended for
the cultivation of musical knowledge among
students and wage earners. Having a
special educational mission, they are eK-
empt from criticism based on the usual
point of view. Last nights programme
was made up of numbers chosen by vote by
last seasons audiences. They voted for
more music than was heard, but the other
numbers will he given at later concerts.
The good taste of the regular patrons of
these concerts speaks we'll for what has thus
far been accomplished in educating them
TO a love for good music. Few conductors
make better programmes than that Of last
evening, and few audiences express their
pleasure in such unmistakable terms.
Franz Arens, the conductor of these en-
t~eTtainnents, has done much II further their
cause by his explanatory remarks made
before each number. He followed his GUS
tom last night and ~endeavored briefly TO
call the attention Of his hearers 10 the close
ness of the construction of the first move
ment of the Beethoven symphony and 10
the characteristics Of the work IA a whole.
The audience gave him marked attention,
and there was evidence that it followed
his hints in listening 10 the music. These
concerts nave done much for the spread
Of musical intelligence in New York and de-

PHILADELFHIA, Nov. 2S.--One man was
killed aud another seriously injured at the
Point Breeze racing track this afternoon
during a tryout preliminary TO h autumn
race meet OF the Quaker City Motor Club.
to be held at the track tomorrow.
Two cars collided at a turn, throwing out
the drivers.
Ernest Keller Of New York, who was
driving an Oldsmobile, sustained a COM
pound fracture of the skull, and died about
an hour after the accident in st. Agnes's
Hospital.
James Hamilton, the driver of the other
car Fiat, escaped injury, but his mocha
nician, W. Harry Luton, Jr., of 210
South Third street, Colwyn, received in
juries which may result In his death.
A truck wagon that was struck by the
Oldsmobile had one of its horses 80 badly
injured that the animal was shot. The
colored driver of the team was hurled in
the air, but received no injury other than
a sprained wrist.
The accident occurred about 4 o'cloo
and was witnessed by 100 automobile men
who were down at the track to see the trials.
The three men lay unconscious, the Oldsmo-
bile was a mass OF scrap iron, and the Fiat
had her wheels torn off and badly battered.
As quickly as possible the injured men
were lifted into an automobile and driven at
full speed to st. Agnes's Hospital. Ham,
ilton soon recovered consciousness, and.
finding himself uninjured. went home unat-
tended.
Versions Of how the accident happened
differ. keeler had been driving his machine
for two hours when Hamilton, with Luton
by his side. appeared on the track in A. ".
Disston's 81 horsepower Fiat. After max
ing two fast circuits of the track, with the
Oldsmobile trailing, the two cars passed
tho judges stand with the Fiat ten yards
in the lead. The Oldsmobile gained rapidly
on the Fiat and N Keller attempted to
pass at the one-eighth mile post his car was
seen to skid.
In an instant the big car cut into the
Fiat, ~chopping of the front wheel clearly.
Just rounding the curve and coming in an
opposite direction was the track wagon
with it's two horses jogging along leisureiy.
The impact changed the course OF the Fiat
and it shot toward the wagon, hitting it
with such force that driver, horses and
wagon were pitched into the ditch.
In an interval of consciousness at the
hospital Keller begged feebly: IF the car
is all right, boys, put it in the race tO-mor-
row.

fractions yet those they had weer in
teresting and worthy of patronage.

hard luck struck the concern on one
or two occasions, but on the whole
they express satisfaction with the re-
suit Of the weeks engagement.

f1ocked ON the grounds and it is the
general comment that good order has
been maintained throughout nearly the
entire week.
1t is expected by the members Of

val in charge, that their share OF the
receipts will amount to nearly $500,

this exceeds what it had been estimat-
