HAROLD BAUER'S SUCCESS.
Harold Bauer scored a great success
last night ebfore an audience that com
pletely filled the auditorium of the First
Methodist church, and gave him a re-
ception that must have warmed his
heart to a gratifying degree. The plan
list ably maintained the reputation he
has gained the music world over;
in fact, the audience was so pleased
that it insisted ON, and was given. two
encores, the second coming after the
concluding number, Brahms "Varia-

Bauer was evidently at his best. He
easily showed himself a master in tech
meal performance, and played with

super excellence in smoothness of exc

The feature of the vening was the

in terms of musical tone, as well as
grand, sweeping comprehension OF
the theme of human passion, aspira-
tions and lofty ideals that so mark the

Eroica wonderfully well, in all it's

conception, fairly carrying away his
audience as he brought out the greater

attentive ear. The artist leaves many
