4 NOTABLE SUI CESS.
Brilliant Concert by the Choral Union
 at WoOIsey Hall.

William E. Haesche and his choral union achieved a notable success last night at the annual concert in Wool sey hall The names are coupled ad- visedly, for one cannot think of the Choral union without thinking of it's able director, who has given so liberal ly of his time and energy in the devel- opment of the chorus. There were small beginnings without pretentions a few years ago, but the concert last night showed remarkable work. There was an altogether pleasing freshness about the voices, and the tone was sin gularly pure. Every singer in the chorus appeared to take the greatest pleasure in the work in hand and not a little of the result was due to this personal enthusiasm. MT. Haesche has developed wonderfully as a conductor and last night held his forces with a firm but sympathetic hand. Clearly a very good understanding existed at all times between the leader and led.
 The works were sung-Parrys "Pied Piper of Hamlin" and Griegs "Olaf Trygvasson." The former was not of great calibre in it's music but was well sung Grieg's composition was highly interesting, original. full-blooded and frequently uncouth but aways compell- ing The soloists were Miss Virginia Lloyd soprano, and George Deane, tenor, of Boston, and Charles Rabold, the instructor in vocal music at Yale university. Miss Lloyd sang her diffl- cult part in Olaf splendidly, and MT. Rabold has never been heard to better advantage Not 8 little of the success of the evening came from the fine pay ing of the New Haven Symphony or chestra, and of Prof. Harry B. Jepson, who was at the organ.
 During the intermlssion in chorus work between the two numbers the or chestra played, by request, Mr. Haesche's Symphonic Poem," first heard at the symphony concert last week. MT. Haesche conducted It went particularly well and Mir Haesche was given the heartiest sort of applause.
 All in all it was a concert of very high quality. The Choral union has won it's place fairly and has a right to stand with the best musical organizations of New Haven. It has a large field of i usefulness before it.

You, his father, tell him that he is slow

"You wouldn't have me tell Walter he is
smart?" questioned Mr.. Amber, quickly.
"That is not necessary. You need not

''Not any more than a swimmer does on

"And do you suppose that will make him

POSSIBLY not; but you need not mind that.
Smart or precocious boys are not always the
successful men when they come to the mature
stage of life. All boys are lacking in some one
or more traits. The best speaker in school
may be the poorest mathematician; some boys
never get respectable average in grammar,
yet become famous scientists or business men.

readers of human nature, but parents should

"Maybe / haven't treated Walter exactly
right" said Mr.. Amber, slowly. "But it isn't
| too late to turn over new leaf"
Don't go to the other extreme" warned
Mr.. Monroe. Don't give him enthusiastic
praise for the first signs of Improvement. Keep
cool and steady, lead him along gently, and
I'll guarantee that he will develop an ambi-

Augusta, Georgia, was one of the last cities
taken in my Southern tour. On the voyage
made from that place was alone; the course
followed was across the Savannah River, di-
rectly over the village of Hamburg, along the
line of the Charleston railroad, and through
the State of South Carolina toward the At
lantic coast.
The first forty miles of the route held so
constantly to the line of the railroad that a
train, which had left Augusta at the sar:c
time that the balloon did, kept my company
the most of the distance. Indeed, learned
afterward that it was genuine race between
the cars and the balloon; the road being
clear, every effort was made to beat the bal
loon, without success.
