AT THE PRISON.

The IL clock service at the prison
was in charge of p. W. Rider, the Ka-
kaako missionary. Mr.. Rider spoke with
his usual fervor, some of the men being
visibly affected by the force of his words
in portraying the adherence of all evil
in the sight of God, who yet loves the
soul of the sinner and graciously par
dons all who come to Him in the name
of Christ, confessing and renouncing
their sins. The Kakaaho choir and
prison quartet rendered strong and
affective service of SONG

Haskell 2, Wentworth 9.

The most enthusiastic friends Of
the Academy were surprised at the
decided victory Of Wentworth over
tue Indians Friday afternoon, April
goth. The baseball teams OF Haskell
have always been considered too fast
for schools of the class Of Wentworth,
and when Coach Peck arranged for a
game with the Indians almost every
one thought 1t meant sure defeat for
the home team.
The game was called at 3 O'Clock
with Haskell at the bat, and from the
beginning it was evident that Emery's
twirlIng would puzzle the visitors.
Haskell failed to score but two runs
during the entire game, while Went.
worth crossed the home plate nine
times.
In the first inning two two base
hits, single and ahome run by Emery
netted h'e runs, lead, which the
Indians had but little chance to over
come, The support Of Craig, catcher,
and Taylor at lst base was excellent,
but the most notable feature Of the
game, next to the battery, work was
the batting of Wentworth.
With the exception Of the work OF
outielders and Wallace at lst base
the playing oi the Indians was very
ragged and certainly inferior to the
expectations VI the spectators.
Final score, Wentworth 9, Haskell 3
Isy Gratz, umpire.

Aid to the San Francisco Sufferers.

The Commercial Club has sent to
DR.. EdWar DeVine of the Red Cross

in such matters. The Red Cross
Society is organized for the systematic

applied to the ends desired.

Moszkowski .....T The Juggleress
Shuett Observation-Disclosures. Reverle
Strauss. Tausig. ...... .Valse Caprice
Those familiar with the opera OF
|Tannh9user will remember the march
curing which the guests assemble for
a tournament OF the Minneslngers, as
one Of the most brilliant scenes in
musico drama5lc literature. And in
Llszt's paraphrase Of this scene Of
Imposing pomp and gorgeous, ,splendor
the pianist encounters corresponding
technical difficulties. Miss Shultz's
successful rendition Of the brilliant
transcription assured the expectant
audience that the remainder OF an
arduous program was safely in her
hands. The Chopin Nocturue, Op
IS No. 2 following In this group was
played with smooth legato touch
and undulating grace, and the Air de
Ballet, In G major, Of Chaminade
vas mirror Of elegance and charm
The Scandinavian music since
Grieg's Immortal contributions to the
literature has possessed added inter-
est for the national characteristics
therein embodied. The Sonata Op. I
played at Central College for the first
time, is an admirable example Of
Norwegian music and expresses in
tone various wild, gloomy and fantas.
tic moods incident to the life of a
people dwelling upon rock.bound
coast.
The third group included musical
genre by MoszKowski, so highly illus
trative of its title, and so fuently
rendered by the pianiste, that heI
auditors readily saw a Juggleress with
whirling knives and other tricks by
sleight Of hand. The Reverie by
Schuett, dreamy composition fol.
lowed as happy contrast, and then
the concert giver dashed into Tausig'
enormously difficult paraphrase Of a
y Strauss waltz, played with such ease
and freedomthat the audience showed
its approval with a spontaneous and
vigorous outburSt Of applause.
The recital was attended by many
out-of-town guests, including severa

Miss Ripke's Recital.

The recital given Monday evening
by Miss Pearl Ripke, candidate for
graduation from the Lexington Col
lege School Of Expression, was attend
ed by large audience which attested
its appreciation of the entertainers
trained talents by rapt attention and
generous applause.
OF the five Members on the pro-
gramme three were dramatic In
character, though Of very diverse
dramatic elements; one, humorous
dialect selection; and one, the last, a
group of three pleasing lyrics of
meditative type. Throughout this
diversified programme Miss Ripke
showed an easy mastery OF the artis-
tic properties Of these selections and
an easy command of her own re-
sources of artistic expression.
OF the dramatic pieces perhaps
Preciosa, from The Spanish Student
Of the sane and wholesome Longellow,
pleased the audience most 10 spite OF
its difficulties OF monologue presenta-
tlon. In Nydia the forid, emotional
and romantic elements, which charac-
terize ali of bulwer-LyJton's crea'
tiOns, were we'll realized; and in The
Sacrifice Of Sydney Carton the habit.
ual meretriclousness OF the author
was much relieved by the readers
dignity of conception and un-
strained presentation OF the emotional
passages.
But even more pleasing than these
we'll dOne-eminentlY we'll done
dramatic selections were the medita-
tive lyrics which concluded the pro-
gramme. The simplest verse is, after
all, the most difficult Of artistic
realization, demanding the fullest
infusion OF the lyric spirit and the
mlnutest appreciation OF tine lyric
essence. Miss Kipke's recital rejected
much credit upon herself aud upon
the Institution in which her talents
have been trained.
