NEW RAVENS INCOME
To Be Larger Than Ever Before Road Has Earned Biggest DiVisahle Surplus in Its History.

New York, New Haven and Hartford proper, i. e., the steam railroad, will show it's full eight per cent dividend rate covered in the year to June 30 next only in the event of the various subsidiary companies distributing all most S2,OO0,0O0 more in dividends to New Haven than they did in 1911 fiscal period. While it is practically assur- ed that New Ravens other income" will be greater than ever before, 1t is doubtful if it will be sufficient to enable the road to show it's dividend entirely earned. The combined in come account of the New Haven sys- tenn may show a small surplus over eight per cent. dividends on the amount of New Haven stock actually in the hands of the public, or 1t may show a small deficit it is too early to say which.
 Indications are that New Haven will earn the largest advisable surplus in its history in the current year, but on the other hand dividend requirements are increased from $12,454,8 1852 paid in the last fiscal period to S14,31S,376.
 The combined income account of the system, which includes the New Ha- ven proper and It's various electric and steamship properties for the six months to December 31 showed a net divIsable income of $7,S09,6S4 conpar- ed with $10,573,402 for the full twelve months ended June 30 last. Thus, the 1912 year appears to be more profit able for the New Haven system than was 1911. It remains for the clos Ing of the books on June 30, however, to finally disclose actual profits and the amount paid to New Haven in dividends. From the present outlook the net divisable income of the sys- dividend requirements, with a slight variance perhaps either way.

 Praise for Local oreanization--Two SeIeists Received with Special Favor

Then, too, the club Is happy in it's choice of soloists, and certainly gave good measure last evening with it's double attraction of Miss Elizabeth Tudor, soprano, and Reinard Werrenrath, bar itone.
 Miss Tudor had already won for her self warm place in popular favor, and was welcomed back again by many admirers. Mir WerTenrath also made a favorable impression and was &C., corded full share of praise, as were also Charles D. Geer, musical director, and Frederick w. Lester, accompanist.
 The opening number was Bullard's On to the Field, which was splendidiy given by the club.
 Miss Tudor followed with a Provin- cial Song by DelPAqua in her charm ing style. and an encore number, The Swing, by Liza Lehman. The Splen- dor Falls, by Andrews-Tennyson's Bugle Song from The Princess-was well given by the club and MT. Wer- renrath gave Sullivan's Woo Thou Thy Snowflake Qvanhoe), with much pow CT and expression. His encore num- ber Noon and Night, by Hawley, brought out the sweet and resonant qualities of his voice. A group of songs by Miss Tudor Absent, by Lowe, Sun set, by Russell, and Ecstasy. by Rum mell, were given in perfect voice and coloring. Another pleasing number by the club was the Cavaliers Song, a poem by William NIothereH, given pretty musical setting by Mir. Werren- rath
 His next group of songs, Woodman's Old English Drinking Song, Harris The Half ring Moon. Lohr's The Ring CTS, and Damroschs Danny Deever, were well received and followed by T. Hilton Turvey's Irish Names as an en- core. Won Othegraven's The Hand some Horseman, a Hungarian folk song, was another delightful selection given by Miss Tudor and the club.
 The climax came in the scene from "Tannhauser," Wagner, with Miss Tu- dor as Elizabeth, Mir Werrenrath as Wolfram and the chorus of returning Pilgrims by the club.
