London Standard: The statistical re-

the number of mountaineering enthus-

Snaps AND LAT

Had Wagner lived in New York to-
day, he might have regretted that
he a eve been born, if not that he
also died. All the ~orchestras antici-
pated the Wagner centennial by giving
Wagner programmes at the seasons
start. When the calendar year 1913
arrived, there were more of the same.
Now that the thirtieth anniversary day
of his death is also impending, the
number of Wagnerian concerts is
greater than all others combined. Last
Saturday the delightful young peo-
pies symphony concerts took their
turn at COMMUNICATING the master
in Carnegie. hall.
Some of the church choir directors
have arranged their programmes for
the Easter festival and ~rehearsals are
under way.
The Wahpeton oratorio society,
comprising nearly 100 singers of
Wahpeton and Breckenridge, sang
Hayden's Creation very acceptably
last Wednesday, evening to a goodly
audience which displayed a quality of
appreciation which was encouraging
to the director and his singers.
The music used in the recently
uSulCdLSu ISOlLldH CdIIiOllC CdLIlSuIcl
at CroOkston, and sung by a choir of
about forty voices, at the regular Sun
day services and festival services, is
in strict accord with the mandate for
pure church music by his holiness,
the pope. This being the first time
such music has been used in a cathe-
dral in the state of Minnesota, and
there is not more than one or two
cathedralS in the United States that
has used it in it's entirety as yet,
Two New York societies c%ultivating

Recital of ParsifaI at Bismarck.

nGSiGdt " ! CT SiSttiGENN'
Commenting on the recital, given by
Prof. A. e. Boehmer, at Bismarck,
last Monday night, The Bismarck
Tribune reported as follows:
An audience which packed the Meth
odist church to the doors Monday
evening listened with rapt interest
to Professor BEGINNERS i~nterpreta-
tive recital of Parsifal.
The audience was probably one Of
the most representative ever gath
cred in the city and all classes were
represented and all showed a deep in
~terest, whether they were students of
music or of the laiety.
The artist was introduced to the
audience by Judge Spalding of the
supreme court, and he read a short
article from the pen of Carl Schurz,
a great art critic, in which Schruz
told of his sensations when he first
witnessed Parsifal.
The Interpretation of the opera as
presented by Professor Boehmer was
clear and made, understandable to all.
The addition of the illustrations to the
recital is one of the features that
adds a great deal to the attractive
ness.
One who saw the performance stat
ed to a representative of The Tribune
that, neXt to seeing the actual grand
opera performance, Professor Boeh-
mer's recital was the best thing, and
there was some doubt if the recital
was not more interesting than the
grand ODera.

ed it in the course of the year. AS
nan as 700 of these climbed it in the
course of a couple of days, Aug. II
and 15.
In all forty-seven fatalities were re-
corded. These included several cases
of two or more climbers. The most
frequent cause was a stumble from the
rocks, but there were also cases of
death from frost-bite and exposure.
In tours in which Munich Alpine club
members were connected, thirteen
deaths are recorded-two caused by
lightning-out Of 79,440 climbers in the
course of the fifteen years. The ten
dency is more and more to dispense
with professional guides.
The Totenkirchl, which, as the name
implies, is a peak that was formerly
much to be feared, was climbed this
veal by 579 persons without guides
(including twenty-three women), as
against seventy-one persons who be-
tween them were accompanied by fifty
sever guides. The Marmolata, one Of
the most popular of the higher peaks,
was climbed this year by four and a
half times as many persons as fifteen
years ago.

Taft Enjoyed Song Thrust.

Members of the Sunshine Girl COM
pany returned to New York a few days
ago after their opening weeks engage
ment at Washington, bringing with
them a story about President Taft's at
tendance at the first performance and
how it threatened embarrassment for
all concerned until the president him
self saved the situation.
p There is a song in the piece called
Who's Boss? in which President Taft,
President-elect Wilson, ex-President
Roosevelt and William J.. Bryan are
impersonated by the comedians! The
Taft verse had a good natured fling at
the president, and when it was learned
that he would be present Charles Froh-
mans first thought was to have the
verse stricken from the song.
He thought better of this, however,
and called up the presidents secretary,
explaining the situation and even re-
citing the verse. The president was
consulted while the manager held the
wire, and the answer came back, u
have been instructed to thank you and
ask that you will have two extra seats
added in the presidents box"
