KneISeI Quartet
 Renders A Very
 Charming Concert
FAMOUS MUSICAL. ORGANIZATION
 COMES HERE UNDER AUSPICES
 OF WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON MUSICAL CLUB.

Playing together with the marvellous precision for which Franz Kneisel's Kneisel Quartet rendered concert last evening Tn the ball room of The StratfIeld. The affair was an artis- tic success and an added indebtedness Bridgeport to the Wednesday After noon Musical club, which was respon- siole for bringing the artists here. The attendance was fair but not as large as might have been desired, des- bite the fame of the performers. The reason is obvious. String quartet music is but one small field in a vast art, and the admirers of this form of music by no means include all musi- clans. In city the size of New York, MT. Kneisel and his men cannot find their admirers, but in Bridgeport the devotees of this somewhat abstract form of music are comparatively
 The opening number, Quartet in G, Major, Op. 15, by Alexander Kopylow, a modern Russian composer, shocked taste for modern music but it fell sweetly enough upon the ears of those who have been acclimated to Tschai- kowski, Karganoff, Rachmaninoff scriabine and the rest of them. The quartet proved exceedingly Tschai- kowski-like. with the exception that movement is of Mendelssohnian sim plicity. With it's syncopated accom- paniment, peculiar moduIations and haunting melodies, the quartette is
 MT. William Willeke. violincellist, was "the hit of the biIr' so far as the audience was concerned. He proved himself a master indeed and his work was delightful, including some parti- cularly striking and beautiful effects in harmonics. His two solos. Der eeuse," by Dessau and ',Napolitaine" ty Cosela, were frantica1ly applaud
 
 The closing number and real piece de resistance of the evening was the . Schubert, the greatest melodist the world ever saw and probably the most beloved of all musicians. It was wonderful subject, rendered by wonderful quartet and a fitting close for the concert. Every selection of the evening served. to impress on the au- Tiarce the fact that the Kneisel quar- tet is composed of four musical hearts who beat time as one. The most deli cate nuances, bits of shading. ritards a~@ chances in tenoOo are carried out with a unanimity that is almost mar velous. Never in it's history was the o1r-~tet bet CT than it is at present, although its makeup, with the ex- ception of MT. Kneisel. has been changed from time to time. The pres ent organization includes: Franz Keinsel. 1st violin; Julius Roentgen; William willeke. violincello. The pro- grame was as follows:
 Kopylow. quartet in G Major. CD Is: Noderato-Allegro; Presto; Andante; Allegro.
 a. Hadyn Variations on the Austrian Hymn, (Gott erhalte Franz den Kais- er).
 b. Wolf. Italienische Serenade.

Once again Polls was packed to the doors and as the big crowd passed out last night the concensus of opin- ion seemed to be that the bill was all right. It was built on different ines from the one of last week, but it's a good one just the same, and the people present last evening liked it right well and showed clearly that they did. Without a doubt the hit of the evening was Porter FI-ne~son Browne's sketch, 'In and Out, pre- snted by Homber B.

DEER ALMOST UNDER
 FOOT IN CONNECTICUT
Eleven Invade Barnyard, Ten Are Killed by Train and Many Threaten
 Young Orchards.

Hampton, Feb. 7-Deer are so mum. erous in Connecticut these days that they are getting in the way of rail- road trains and street cars. A stroll ot mile from any town is likely to bring one face to face with a herd roaming sin search of tender fruit trees. Farmers are becoming alarm ed for the safety of their orchards.
 One farmer found eleven deer in his barnyard early yesterday, and a large luck showed fight until the farmer s dog came to his rescue.
 Ten deer were run down and killed by a railroad train here Monday and yesterday word came from another part of the county that trolley cars had killed two more. The animals have been seen in herds of from ten to twenty. Fox hunters last week came upon twenty-three in a group.

On our way back we had to pass the town cemetery, which was on the side of a hill. Near the gate of the cemetery stood a shed in which was kept the town hearse.
 .sThe doors of this building were open as we were riding past, and in some manner the blocks which were usually kept under the wheels of the hearse must have become dislodged, for the hearse slowly moved out of the shed and rolled down the hill into the middle of our party, who scattered in all directions.
 .'The officer in charge of the troop ordered four men to dismount and take the hearse back.
