THE KNETsEL 0UARrET.
Cesar FrAnck's First Trio Played at Its
Fourth Evening Concert


The fourth concert OF the Kneisel Quar-
tet took place at Mendelssohn Hall last
night. The programme consisted Of
MoZart's quartet in fat, Cesar Franck 8
trio in + sharp. opus I, No. I, and Beet
hoven's quartet in f 'iat, opus i27. The
assisting pianist in the Franck number
was George Proctor. Mr.. Kneisel appears
to hold It a solemn duty to make propa-
ganda for Cesar Franck. This is a self
assumed duty OF no small import.
IL Is individually the right of every
master who has been accepted seriously
by his countrymen to be heard abroad.
Franck Is not heard as often here as
some other writers. who are perhaps
less deserving OF recognition than he.
His fame is slowly growing among the
inner brotherhood OF earnest music
lovers, and while there will doubtless
always he some who find nothing in his
music. there will just as surely he others
to whom IL carries a thousand messages.
It was interesting. no doubt, for last
nights audience to note the characteristic
structure Of the early trio. In this we
meet at once with the composers custom
OF utilizing the same thematic matter
ton. The first principal theme of this
trio is a foundation for all three move
ments. IL provides the greater part OF
the material for development. The second
principal theme is not developed. but
Is heard in each OF the movements.
The first theme is in itself polyphonic.
the cello pronouncing the subject against
the counter subject set forth by the
piano.
The first movement is in a kind Of ex-
tended rondo form, the first theme ap-
pea ring in three sections OF the movement
and the second in two. The whole move
ment il really nothing more than the
proposition Of thematio matter which
usually occupies the first section Of IA
typical first movement.
The second movement il a scherzo with
two triOs. and the customary sonata form
is not reached till the last movement. in
which there il genuine development. "A
striking episode and finally triumphant
rest1tement Of the first theme in + sharp
natural, in which key the composition
terminates.
Franck is continually interesting in his
chamber music. and this trio excited much
enthusiasm among the music lovers whO
listened TO IL last evening. The slIave
and melodiOus Mozart music provided a
pleasing opening for the concert and the
beautiful r Hat quartet Of Beethoven
brought IL To satisfying conclusion.
Mr. Proctor played with style. spirit and
musical appreciate and the whole con-
cert was up To the Kneisel Qua rtet stand

THE DUFFY BOY ARR4IGNED.
Magistrate Takes a Few Days In which
TO Decide what to DO.


George B. Duffy. whose alleged persecu-
ton by the police gained the ear OF JUS
tice Gaynor before he became Mayor and
resulted in the dismissal of Gen. Bing-
ham as Police Commissioner, was ar
raigned yesterday in the Myrtle avenue
court in Brooklyn before Magistrate
Higginbotham on a charge of disorderly
conduct and fighting in the street, After
listening to contradictory testimony by
both sides Magistrate Higginbotham re-
served decision until January 2s.
Duffy said that he was employed by
the White Cross Milk Company, that he
works steadily and that on Saturday
night just before the trouble occurred
he was collecting a bill OF 10 cents in
a saloon at Fulton and St. Felix streets
The police claim that the quarrel started
in this saloon and was continued in the
street, but DUFFY says he was arrested
Just because he was Duffy; that the police
made no move TO take him IN until a man
employed in a nearby livery stable told
them who he was
Magistrate Higginbotham questioned
Duffy closely about his anxiety 70 collect
a bill of 10 cents and the latter replied
that the saloon was on his route and
that the quantity of milk he supplied
during the week varied according 10
demand Sometimes il was one or two
bottles and sometimes more, He said
that he and Frank Burke. the man ar
rested with Duffy as the other party to
the fight. had not been fighting; that
friend Of Burke's had given him the black
eye and that the friend ran away before
the police arrived.
The story told by Duffy was corrob-
grated by Burke. who Is a clerk. ~ years
old. and lives at 4l0 Douglas street. Burke
denied that he had insisted on having
Duffy arrested for assault, as alleged by
the policemen who made the arrest.
He said that he went to the saloon in St
Felix street with friend named Ferris.
who was TO play piano later at party.
that he met Duffy whom he knew slightly,
and became tangled up with him merely
by accident.
According 10 Burke's story Ferriss got
drunk and was taken out OF the saloon
for an airing. Duffy followed, got a
little too close to the musician who was
in an ugly humor. and received n rap in
the eye. In the excitement Duffy fell.
Burke fell on top Of him and Ferris ran
away.
Policemen Riley and Smith OF the

relative positions didn't seem 10 have
been assumed by accident. Riley said
that they seemed so anxious to stay to-
gether that he had to call Smith to helm
him separate them. He said that a third
man came up and offered 20 take the
warriors home, but that Burke insisted
on making a charge against Duffy. This
was n st. Felix street and Dekalb avenue.

Defends CENTRAL PARK roo
says Animals Thrive Under
Present 4 s'O0siitio iouS


Present 'o0siitiOus.
Director Smith Of the Central Park Zoe
had this to say yesterday in reply to q
letter printed in Tuesdays SUN in which
the writer complained that the animals
ip the park are kept in small and dirty
cages:
1t is true that the cages are small, but
IL is to be remembered that this is a me-
nagerie, not a geological garden. Our
animals are here so that people may see
them easily. and so they have to- be In
small cages. Even at that the cages are
not as small as they used to be. Many
OF the cages are now just twice the size
they were when ! beca me- director.
Another thing that must he borne in
mind is that we are naturally restricted
to small plot OF ground. Fifth avenue
a transverse road, carriage road and the
plaza approach hem us in, and we cannot
occupy more ground than we do now
so we are obliged to have small cages Ia
house all our exhibits.
AS for the statement that our cages are
not clean. that is absolutely false. | defy
any one to find a better kept mena gerie
The proof OF our good meth DDS of'handling Z
animals ia to be found in our death rate
believe IL ia "a low a. any geological
death rate in the world Nine per cent.
is our death rate. Even at the Bronx Zoo
their death rate is double ours though
OF course they have more animals To care
for, and some of them are delicate.
want to say to the people who talk
unfavorably about this menagerie that
there isn't a department in the city that
is run better. In all the years have been
here ] have never been able to get from
the Board OF Estimate any extra appro-
priatiOn for Improvement or extension.
They give MS just barely enough for main
tenance. Yet | have built the monkey
house, the dove cote. the pheassntry. the
eagle cage and other buildings, and have
stocked them. How? BY economy and
breeding. We save at every point, and
by exchanging and selling new animals
we have been in a measure eself-supporting
Il don't say that this department is
beyond criticism. Perhaps such a de-
partment doesn't exist. But we do the
hest we can with the funds We have. The
trouble ia thai people who condemn are
usually people who know nothing about
the thing that they condemn. II any one
has any criticisms To make about the way
we care for our animals. il would be far
better for such person 20 come and tell us
about IL in person. Then we could ex-
plain things TO him that he may not under
stand. and II he has any suggestion TO
make that is helpful We could act on il"
