MISS DE ANNA SINGS.

Miss l.eontine De Alma gave a song re-
cital last night I'm Mendelssohn Hall be-
fore an audience that would undoubtedly
have been larger had the weather been
upon better behavior. Yet despite these
unfavorable circumstances Miss De Alma
succeeded in arousing goodly measure of
enthusiasm, and proved that she possesses
voice of coed quality. especially I'm the
middle and lower registers. There was at
times certain shrillness i'm her upper
rotes that vas not altogether pleasing
and she did not always sing with the color
that may come with greater experience
Perhaps her most effective number was
Felix Weingartner's musical setting to
Carmen Sylvs's charming Schumacher
lied She sang II with true feeling. and
the audience forced her to repeat it, Other
of her numbers were by Schubert Brahms,
Reisenauer and Hugo Wolf and a group

HOME FOR HOLIDAY
Railroads Bring Great Throngs
for Thanks giring.

Every railroad brought thousands Of per
sons 10 New York yesterday. From morn
ing until night trains that were in touch
with the numerous colleges in Pennsyl-
wanna, New York and nearby New England
states unlosded armies of suitcases car
riers. The only individuals without smiling
faces were the baggage men. for IL was
no-irGnk" throng that passed in review
before them. IL was at the Grand Central
Station that one official 81 a baggage COM
pany said: I've seen more persons carrying
suitcases to-day than I have I'm months
And I've seen hundreds OF college girls
with two Of them. But they have passed
right on by with both Of them. Some OF
en- are sure 'tight-wsds' anyway"
Although many OF the incoming trains
brought in great crowds on Tuesday aud
Tuesday night, II was not until noon yes
trday that the greater part Of the college
congregations began 20 arrive. At Grand
Central Station il looked like the Christ
mas holidays. and the congestion was
greater on account Of the hundreds vino
were delayed by the inclement weather.
But like all Thanksgiving crowds. espe-
Cially wheL the school and college element
piedominstes, there was patience and
plenty Of popularity. If. as the bagSage man
said. there were "tight-wads'' galore, then
IL was worth while the effort TO watch the
independence Of a rudy faced schoolgirl,
with subway ticket in her teeth and
suitcase in each hand, making a fifty
ward dash for a subway express The
crowd was worse than at the rush hour in
the Grand Central subway ststion, and-fhs,

graduated himself on his forethoughi.

MANAGERS AT LOGGERHEADS.
Challenge from Dippel-Hammerstein
Demands Guarantee.

Andreas DIPPED, administrative manager
of the Metropolitan Opers House. issued
statement last night in reply to the one
recently given to the newspapers In Phila-
delphia by Oscar Hsmmersten, I'm which
that gentleman made some derogatory re-
marks regarding the Metropolitan's Phila-
delphia performances. Mr.. Dippers state
ment is as follows:
While l do not desire i'm any wise to en-
ssge IN any newspaper controversy WITH
Mr.. Hammerstetn. yet in order TO show
the recklesSness and absurdity of Mr..
Hamerstein's remarks. TO the effect
First. that the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany's performance in Philadelphia cost
Just one-half a performance of what his
cost. and, second, that they cost lust one
half of the guarantee which the Metro
politan Opera Company Is obtaining. we
are willing TO submit our books for ex-
certified public accountant in Philadelphia
and we invite Mr.. Hammerstein to do
likewise. II upon the examination of our
books and Mr.. Hammerstein's il is found
that the aforesaid statements made by
Mr.. Hammerstein are correct. then We
agree to donate the entire receipts of our
last nights performance 10 one or mere
Philadelphia charities.
As TO the little CARLOAD OF singers. to
use Mr.. Hammerstein's expression, which
the Metropolitan Opera Company trans
ported to Philadelphia for last nights
performance. il consisted Of the following:
Nine sOloists, ninety-three members OF the
orchestra. seventy-six members of the
chorus. fOrty-seven stAgehands mechan-
les and staff. outside of the regular en-
ployes, "supers." etc. in Philadelphia
No ballet was used in the performance Of
last night, because the score does not call
for IL: otherwise. would have had forty
TO fifty additional persons I'm the company
Mr.. Hammerstein said last night that he
intended TO stand by his statement made
i'm Philadelphia.
The Metropolitan Opera Company"
said Mr. Hammerstein, lis making every
effort TO kill me by engaging every singer
within reach, whether that singer is bad
good. IL by any chance I should close
my houses IL would mean a complete opera
monopoly throughout the United States
and singers salaries would at once be cut
to one-quarter OF what they are at present.
Il am one man fighting against a crowd
of milliOnaires. but I am my own master.
AS TO Philadelphia. il | do not receive a
sufficient guarantee by January shall
not open my house next season, restricting
my efforts to New York and Brooklyn.
But on no account will | sell my Phia-
delphia house TO the Metropolitan. II
necessary I will lease il fer dramatic pur-
poses

last night az the Manhattan Opera House
before a good sized audience. The east
was the same as at the opening perform
ance. except that Mr.. Duffault sang Jean
