 The audience, q select and enthusi- astic one were clearly In sympathy with thls young pianist, for whom the keenest interest has been manifested from the time when as q mere lad be showed marked talent and ability Nathan Fryer, the capable pianist, left New Haven few years ago for Eu- rope, where he has since studied with tho great Leschetizky. He returns to America concert artist of the fullest promise, Mir. Fryer plays with the sure authority of one who has looked deep Into the mood and intent of the com poser, He Is a serious student, With those clements of mind and qualities of temperament which arc sure to place him, in few years, In the first rank of American pianlsts
 His performance Is imbued with splendid youthful vlgor In abundance, needing the necessary years to give It tho clear beauty of simplicity and d. Mr certainly remarkable for it's masterly style, proving him worthy represent ative of a great teacher, It is certain ly a pleasure to record the brilliant achievements of this young American, Mir Fryer cannot fail of full attain ment with such equipment as he prov ed to possess in last nights concert. His future career will be watched with profound interest by his many New Haven musical friends,
 MT Meyn has q good baritone voice which hc uses with considerable skill but not always with adequate tempera- ment. His soft notes In the lower tones are sweet in quality but lacking in vol tune and therefore do not carry well. In certain passages of his songs his evident good intentions failed to cul- minate satisfactorily because hls voice lacked the requisite focus. Two songs written by sydney Homer appeared on the program They are indebted to Mir Meyn for making them seem possessed of some degree of merit They had nc other claim worth mentioning upon the attention of the audience. Mir, Meyr was given generous applause. For ar encore he sang "Adieu Marie" bS Adams, song which he always sings with good effect Dr. N C. Elsenhelme' played the accompaniments with agree able sympathy

after ground was broken the founda-

 The frame work, with sheathed sides
 and all the roof structure of spruce
 was finished in 28 working days by
 force of about 60 carpenters. There are
 48,OOO feet of stone work in the build- ing and will be about 3O,0OO square
 yards of plaster work. Over 1, 800, 900. feet of lumber will be used in the con-
 struction. The whole exterior of the
 building will be stucco work, this idea
 being carried out even to the other
 buildings connected with the school.
 The roof will be of slate. In the base
 ment will be trunk rooms, storage
 rooms, laundry and drying rooms. On the first floor will be study hall, 45 X 56 feet and a dining hall, 56 X 56 feet. There will be several other smaller
 study rooms and the offices of the in-
 structors. At the northeast corner of the building will be a chapel one story high. At the northwest corner will be Miss Hillard's cottage, which will be
 connected with the building, yet will not be part of it. A wide exit and
 entrance 20 feet wide will lead from
 the quadran gle on the south side to
 large athletic field at the rear of the
 school. On the second floor of the building will be large gymnasium. This will be truss structure and there will be no posts. Much of this floor will be taken up with dormitories. The third floor will be taken entirely by dormitories. East of the main build ing will be power house of brick and stucco. This will furnish the steam. elecric light and the water systems for whole establishment. The school will accommodate about 15O girl students.

 INTERESTING FIGURES.
 The work of erecting the new Vest over school on the south side of the Middlebury Green is progressing with remarkable rapidity. Although the ground wasn't broken until about Sep tember l, the frame of the big build ing is already finished. The work is being done by the Tidewater Building Company of New York and R. F, Jones, Hartford contractor. Both contractors have done some notable work in this vicinity. The Bucking- ham Building in Waterbury and the Naugatuck High school were built by the Tidewater Company and the Nau- gatuck residence of Harris Whittemore and the Congregational church. Nau- gatuck, were built by Mir Jones. The plans for the school building were all drawn by Miss Iheodate Pope of Pennington. Miss Pope, the architect and Miss Hillard, who is to be inc principal of the new school, were in Middlebury, Friday, looking over the work. To gain an idea of the size of the buildings, Mir Jones told the editor Friday, that if one walked four times around the outside of the building he would cover a mile in distance. All the buildings on the north side of the Green have been removed to make room for the new school. In a brief interview with the editor, Miss Hill ard stated she hoped to open the school by April 15, 1909. The new building will be model of harmonious archi. lecture. The construction is after the old content style and the idea is car ried throughout the structure. The building will he three stories high. 228I feet wide and 270 feet long. Inside the outer structure is a court or uuad- rangle 12O feet by TAO feet. There will be a covered cloister on three sides of the court. This eloister will De 10 feet wide and the second and .hird stories of the building will ey- tend that distance over it. The build ing will contain about 176 rooms and bout 800 windows.
