dying man. arrived at Issy-les- -Moulneaux,
a suburb OF Paris, in his monoplane at II
o'clock this morning. having travelled from
London without a stop. He covered the
distance OF about 900 miles in hours and
81 minutes.

ing TO a gale. He will continue the journey
TO London tomorrow. Berck-sur-Aer is
more than one hundred miles from Paris.
At his descent in Paris NJ. Salvey said
that having urgent business 10 transact in
Paris and seeing that the London tc Paris
train and steamboat service was affected
by the coal strike, he had decided To make
the voyage through the air in spite OF the

his machine was shaken by violent squalls,
but the motor worked perfectly.

gated his monoplane by the compass He
travelled at an average height OF six thou
sand feet and was generally above the
Clouds only occa sionally catching glirnpses

MANY MUSICAL OFFERINGS
"Haensel und Gretel," La Bo-
heme" and Two Concerts.

Musical joys were unlimited yesterday
with two concerts at Carnegie Hall and
two operas al the Metropolitan. In the az
ternoon Humperdincks "Hansel und Gre
tel" delighted al audience OF young people
or course. Miss Alien was Gretel and
Nine. Mattfeld Hdnsel. and. OF course. Mr..
Goritz was the Father and Mrs. Wickham
the Mother. SIR. Relss was the Witch. and
a fearful one lndeed-which Is no discredIt
TO Mr.. Ress. Beautifully, too. did Miss
Case sing the Dewman, while Mrs Wake
field sang Sandman acceptably. Mr.. Nor
eerstern conducted in place OF Mr.. Hertz
and gave an admirable reading Of the love-
Is music.
In the evening Puccinrs La Boheme'
pleased an audience OF the usual size. Miss
Farrar. in unusually good voice. sang
Mimi Mr.. Martin. Rodolfo. and Mr..
Gilly. Naralo 4 special word OF praise
should be given 10 the Musetta OF Miss
sparkes. Miss Sparkes sang the part for
the first time In three seasons and sang
IL unusually we'll Her impersonation was
q good one. even though this particular
Musetta did appear at times TO have dwelt
longer within sound OF Bow Bells than
those OF Notre Dame
Nine. Gerville- Reache. al the same ume
that the Humperdlnck work was in prog
ress. was giving a song recital in Carnegie
Hall before a large and unusually enthusi-
astic audience. Mime. Gerville- -Reache has
often been heard with pleasure in opera,
where her magnificent natural voice, voice
which In the lower and middle registers Is
Of unusual richness and power, stood her in
good stead. The voice was there yesterday,
but. unfortunately. she did not always make
the best use OF II.
There was no need for her forcing her
upper tones to painful stridency or for eX-
aggeratlng the rotundity Of her lower. Bee
thoyen. Schubert Brahms and Schumann do
not lend themselves to this sort OF treat
ment
In the evening the same hall saw a
philharmonic Society concert before an
audience that was by no means Of over
whelming proportions Mr.. Stransky chose
for his chief offering the Harold in Italy
symphony OF Berlioz, of which he gave
strenuous reading. Loudly. far too loudly
did he call upon the brass. and as result
there was little confluence in the perform
ance and the thematic lucidity was i'm
paired.
The solo viola was J. J. Koyarik Better
results came in the case OF the "Feuersnot'
love music, added. the programme stated
"by general request" The orchestra played
with spirit and delicacy the overture to
THE Magic Flute and Brahms's "Varia-
tions on Theme by Haydn"
The sololst was Leo Schulz, the first
cello OF the orchestra, who played. with
the orchestra. Adagio. op IS. by Bargiels.
and Rondo by Dvorak Mr.. Schulz gave
an admirable performance OF both num-
bers. his tone in particular being delight
fully warm.
