Miss Pauly's Piano Recital.

This was certainly the phenomenal

maturity that was astonishing in 81

marvellous performances in them

for the brilliant future of the wonder
fully gifted and trained pianist. Amid
the various and vigorous signs oe
wonderment from the large audience

st. Margaret's Academy.

On Monday evening, at St. Margar
cts Academy, this city, Miss Mary
Page charmed large and most ap-
preciative audience in a recital. Miss
Fage was ably assisted by Muriel Hay
den, who performed on the VIOLIN and
Mary Hallinan, who rendered several
vocal selections. Miss Page is a grad
uate of this years pianoforte class and
shows a great understanding of her
accomplishments. Her classic inter-
pretations are beautifully impressive
and in her series of modern pieces she
displays wealth of art. Her touch in
Chopin, who is recognized exceedingly
difficult for the young feminine hand,
showed well balanced control, and
her renditions of Schumann, Beetho-
ven and Schubert indicate a good per-
ception' of the classic models. In the
Seeling and Reinecke she exercises
her intellect as we'll as her fine skill.

LLsitania Makes Fastest Time Over

Transatlantic records for average
speed and for the shortest run over
the long course were broken by the
Cunard liner Lusitania, which arrived
here today, says a New York dispatch
of May 22 TO the Chicago Evening

The vessel anchored off the Sandy
Hook light-ship in a heavy fog at 2:5
this morning. just four days, twent Y
hours and twenty-five minutes after
size passed Daunt's Rock. This beats
the best previous time for the long
course, made by her sister ship. the
Mauretanfa, by three hours and thirty
seven minutes. and is only one hour
and forty-tw minutes longer than the
Lusitania's record of four days. eight
cen hours and forty minutes over the
short course.
The Lusitania's average speed for
the voyage was I1.S3 KnOtS, ana InlS
time goes far toward winning for her
owners the British mail subsidy of
$3.50, 900, promised when the Lusitania
and the Mauretania each shall have
averaged 24.50 knots an hour or better
for round trip.
The Lusitana undoubtedly would
have made even more remarkable time
had it, not been for the fog bank she
encountered after reaching Fire Is
land. Up to that point she had been
speeding at A pace that would have
carried her to the light-ship with a
re cord close to the best time over the
shorter course.
On the third day out on her voyage
the vessel made 632 knots, which sur
passed by five knots the previous best
record of 627 knots, made some time
ago Her hourly speed on the record
days run was twenty-six and one
