The last evening concert of the New York
Symphony Orchestra, which is hereafter to
be again the New York symphony Society.
took place last night at Carnegie Hall. The
programme afforded a delightful variety
of good music. The orchestral numbers
we're Haydn's ia Reine' symphony,
Dvorak's ~Scherzo Cappriccioso." Strauss
It'll Eulenspiegels Merry Franks and the
prelude to Die Meistersinger.' The soloist
was Mario Sammarco, the admirable bari
tone Of Mr.. Hammerstein's forces. He
sang the Largo from I'll Barbiere." an air
from william Tell and another from
Don Giovanni"
Mr. Sammarco has firmly estab blished him
self in the favor of this public and his ap-
pearance on the concert platform was
welcomed cordially. He always sings with
great beauty of tone and with fine, fluent
and opulent cantilena, which never fails to
exercise a charm upon the hearer
Mr. Damrosch's orchestra is an organiza-
ton OF thoroughly good musicians and it
has grown steadily in finish and precision.
It's season has been interesting and at the
close of il Mr.. Damrosch must be congratu-
lated on what he has accomplished artis-
tically as well as pecuniarily in the face OF
much opposition. What next season will
bring forth with the orchestra restored to
it's old basis remains to be seen, but the
likelihood is that there will be better disci-
pline and a more faithful representation OF
the ideas Of the conductor.

MERCHANTS AND MINERS 60.
Community OF Interest Arrangement For
maIIY Announced.

Confirmation of the deal by which the
New Haven road has purchas I'd an interest
in the Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company was given yesterday at the
regular monthly meeting of the directors
Of the New Haven held at noon at the Grand
Central Station. The statement was made
that a community OF interest agreement
had been made which will result in the
Merchants and Miners Company obtain
ing control OF the Boston and Philadelphia
Steamship Company, which company was
recently purchased by the New Haven.
It is understood that the New Haven has
turned over the control of the Boston and
Philadelphia Company to the Merchants
and Miners and has secured a sufficient
interest in the latter company 10 insure
reciprocal agreements regarding rates and
other matters. It is also understood that
for the present at least the two steamship
companies will be run under a separate
management.
The regular quarterly divdend Of 2 per

YESTERDAY AT THE OPERAS.
Mime sembrIch sings Adieu In the Cadenza
or Lucia.

Nine. Sembrich bade her admirers fare
we'll yesterday afternoon at the Metro
politan Opera House. The medium chosen
for the last exhibition Of her art this season
was Lucia" and as Mr.. Caruso did not
appear in the role Of EdgdrdO she had the
honOrs of the afternoon chiefly in her own
hands. The absence of the expensive tenor
did not seem to have ary saddening effect
on the public, for the house was crowded
to the doors and the enthusiasm was Of an
unmistakable character. At the close Of
the mad scene" Nine. Sembrich was called
out dozen times and laden " ith flowers.
The entire house, including the occupants
of the boxes, Joined in the tribute to the
eminent soprano, who was manifestly
moved by il.
The performance Of Lucia" does not cal
for particular account. 1t is sufficient to
say that the soprano sang her music with
her accustomed skill, and that Mr.. Dippel
as Edgdrdo discharged his duties in his
usual conscientious manner. Mr.. Stracciari
as the inexorable ERrico
In tho evening the German contingent
contributed performance Of -Lohengrin."
The occasion was made noteworthy by
Alois Burgstaller's first assumption OF the
title role. Mr.. Burgstaller never sang the
part anywhere before. He will probably
be a good deal more interesting in IL after a
time than he was last night, when his essay
was commendable for its sincerity and its
aspirations rather than for its accomplish
ment of poetic illusion and dramatic con-
viction. He was in very poor voice, and
this, of course, marred his singing.
Other persons concerned in the repre-
sentation were Nine Fleischer-Edel as
ELsd, Nine Homer as Ortrud. Mr.. Van Rooy
as Telrdmund and Mr.. Steiner as the Herald.
Mr. Hertz of course was the conductor.
The audience was one of large size.
At Mr.. Hammerstein's temple of art in
West Thirty-fourth street the afternoon
was given over to the oft repeated delights
of Carmen, and in the evening the pealing
strains Of Aida" filed the auditorium.
There were goodly audiences and the

TRADE REVIEW.
Fall Trade Tends to Ex-
pand in East and West.
Best Reports Come From North.
west and Southwest.
Prospects OF Good Crops Stimulate
Trade In Canada.

New York, Aug. 16.-Bradstreet's
State of Trade tomorrow will say:
Growing crops show further God
progress toward harvest and fall trade
tends to expand at leading Western
and Eastern jobbing centres.
Best reports naturally come from sec
tons nearest surplus crop-producipg
regions, as for instance, the Northwest
and Southwest, and there is no appar-
ent decline in demand visible in th1se
sections. but the influences of tight
money. stock market unsettlement and
the telegraph strike are visible, more
especially at the East where conserva-
tism as to buying for future needs is
more Immediately in evidence, confirm
ed as this feeling is, by the knowledge
Of the already large volume of orders
secured.
While finished cotton fabrics are in
demand and some maker, notably
blcached goods, have been further adj
vanced. there are reports of smaller
demands and lower prices for cotton
yarns. Again in wooden goods, while
high grade wOrsted and WOODEN fabrics
have sold well, other grades are slower
OF sale and there is talk of accumula-
ton. In the leather trade there is more
life than of late, and good quality
leather and hides are quicker Of sale
as are also high class shoes: low grades
are slower of sale, and Eastern ship
1nents are four per cent. behind 1906.
In iron and steel the lack of new buy
ing is still notable and prices tend to
ease, and the mills and furnaces find
deliveries easier to make.
Wheat, including flour exports from
the United States and Canada for The

In Canada good results from crops

ucs tight, with little prospect Of early
Easing.

Illustration of the way to secure

of range finders. On the second night
when the small boats came up to fire
on the fort the West Point men had
their watches in their hands. BY
allowing roughly 100 feet for every
second after the flashes of their guns
were seen and before the report was
heard, they guessed the distances.
They took the trouble to verify one Of
these observations from one of the

distance. They were only sixty yards
out Of the way. The boats at that time
were a mile and half away.-New
