MUSIC,
Mr.. Hofmann Plays for Charity

A mere record Of the concert given in
Carnegie Hall last night by the symphony
Society I'm memory Of its late president
Samuel s. Sanford. to endow hospital bed
i'm his name for the benefit of the members
Of the orchestra, must be pitched in an ex-
ated key. That II was financially success
might he gathered from the fact that
boxes and ground floor stalls were filled,
probably balconies and galleries also, and
that a question as TO the outcome from
this point Of view brought out the answer
from an authoritative source that A,500
had been put in the committees exchequer
before the public sale began. The orchestra
gave its services gratis, and so did Mr..
Josef Hofmann, whose performance OF
Rubinsten's D minor concerto and two
pieces on recall the familiar melodie in r
by Rubinstein and Rachmaninows prelude
In G minor formed the climax of the even
ings enjoyment 1t was a most extraor-
dinary climax, and memories Will dwell
long time upon Mr.. Hofmann's playing OF
, the concerto, as well they may, for II its
equal has been heard within decade the
occasion cannot be recalled. From begin
ming to end Mr.. Hofmann's playing recalled
that OF his master, who wrote the concerto
in the manner in which he disclosed
the sonorties OF the solo instrument.
In the breadth and loveliness OF his
cantilena, in the brilliancy and dash OF
his passage work Cwithout the slips which
were so easily pardoned when the master
played, and I'm the thrillingly effective
manner in which he both anticipated and
echoed the voices Of the orchestral instru-
ments 1t was a wonderful performance.
and il is no sentimental extravaganza 10
imagine that Mr. Hofmann had thoughts
of his friend, the late Mr.. Sanford, in his
mind while he played, and that IT was not
only the consummate artist, but also the
warm-hearted man who was paying a
tribute which he felt 10 be deserved.
Aud Mr.. Damrosch and his men accom-
panied him with rare skill and sympathy.
the effect of their playing being much
helped by the acoustical qualities Of the
concert room. The purely orchestral
numbers were the overture 10 "Sallun-
tala," by Goldmark; the beautiful slow
movement from Elgar's first symphony
and the dnale Of Rimsky Korsakow S
"Schehcrazade" II. y. *.

butt of a razor's blade it slowly moved
along the back OF the blade and then
climbed completely over the sharp

brought the fore part of its foot near
the edge of the blade it's head was
held low down. and the lower and
