jcurned yesterday.
There has been nothing to mar the
success Of the occasion at any time.
and many Of the doctors yesterday ex-
pressed the opinion that it was one
OF the most successful meetings ever
held by the Association.
The service at the Pine Forest Inn
was superb, and the doctors were of
one voice in expressing their apprecia-
ton Of it. Capt. F. w. Wagner, the
proprietor. was present in person to
assist Manager SIENNA in looking after
the comfort Of the guests, and moth
Ing was left undone to make their
stay at this magnifcently equipped
hotel a pleasant one. Drs. F. Julian
Carroll, chairman; ]. B. Johnson and
E. D. Tupper, of the committee on
arrangements, were especially active
in looking after the welfare of the
visitors, and all of the citizens of Sum-
merville lent their cordial assistance.
The time yesterday was very profit
ably consumed in the reading and dis
cussion of papers on medical subjects
In both the medical and surgical Sec
tons, in the election of officers for
the ensuing year by the House Of Del
egates, and after this, in the enjoy
ment Of the immensely pleasant recep-
ton so kindly rendered the medical
men by DR.. c. U. Shepard at the Pine
hurst Tea Garden.
The surgical section, presided over
by Drs. Baker and Cathcart, the lat
ter taking the chair when DR.. Baker
was called upon to preside over the
meeting of the House Of Delegates,
was held in the rotunda house. Quite
a number of papers Of much interest
IN the surgical world were read and
discussed.

Spartanburg, April 22.--The Dam
rosch orchestra surpassed itself this
afternoon in the splendid symphony
concert. First was played the Ital-
ian symphony by Mendelssohn in
four movements. The joyousness Of
Italy with its clear blue skies and it's
romantic spirit were cleverly reflected
in the allegro movement, while in
the presto movement were set forth
in thrilling style. the whirling taran-
tella and the ecstatic santarella divid-
ed by slightly soberer melody from
the violins.
Following this symphony were
given the popular Spring Song and
Spinning Wheel, arranged for orches-
ira by Garland. These numbers were
so enthusiastically applauded that the
Spring Song was repeated. The first
part Of the programme was devoted
to Mendelssohn. this being the hun
dredth anniversary Of his birth. The
second half Of the programme was
opened by the theme and variations
from suite three of Tschaikowsi.
Next were rendered an Adagio and
peopetum mobile by Ries, Mr.. Sas-
lcwski, the first violinist of the or
chestra played the Adagio as solo.
He is a masterful violinist and his
work aroused ghunders of applause.
Too much could not be said of the
extreme beauty and poetry of his
tones and his faultless technic. The
final number was the Spanish Rhap-
sody Of Chabier. This work Is one Of
many changing moods and colors,
full Of syncopations. depicting the va
rIous forms of the dance as seen un-
