CARRENO AND BACHAUS

The symphony Society and the Phil
harmonic both gave concerts yesterday
afternoon the former at Aeolan and the
latter at Carnegie Hall. The Symphony
Society's programme may or may not have
been intended as kind % appendage to
the Beethoven festival which the organi-
cation Is now carrying on. for IL con-
sisted wholly Of music by Brahms. The
numbers were the minor symphony,
group OF songs and the second piano con-
certo. The singer was Oscar Seagle and
the pianist Wilhelm Bachaus.
The G minor symphony was recently
played by the Philadelphia Orchestra and
II is heard pretty often. But since the
composition endures repetition 70 firmly
II did not harm IL TO give II another
hearing yesterday Furthermore the
symphony Societys audience was prob
ably not present at the Philadelphia con-
cert. The composition was excellently
played by Mr.. Damrosch's men.
Mr.. Seagle selected from the treasury
OF Brahms songs "Wir Wandelten."
"Rotschaft." "Nachtigall" and "Mein
Lleb' list Hruen." This barytone was not
new to the local concert platform. He
had sung several times and had impressed
his hearers rs n singer whose taste and
in.erpretatlve skill were uncommon. while
his technic had some traits OF fine excel
lence Mr.. Seagle uses head tones with
rare skill. but his songs yesterday did
not afford opportunities for a display OF
this. His most satisfying Interpretation
was that or the third number. which he
sang with tenderness and Imagination.
Mr.. Bachaus played the concerto we'll
The style OF Brahms's plano music makes
peculiar demands on the technic. tone and
feeling OF the interpretative artist and
there are many players who succeed brill
iantly with Chopin. Liszt and even Schu-
mann but who fail with Brahms Mr.
Bachaus finds this music thoroughly con-
genial and he plays II with warmth and
yet with becoming dignity. He dropped
"a few notes yesterday, but for his ar
tistic conception these sins OF omission
must be forgiven.
The programme offered by the Phil
harmonic Society contained as orchestral
numbers a ballet suite Of Gretry. arranged
by Felix Mottl. Schuberts unfinished
symphony and Charpentier's suite. I'm

from 'Cephale ct Procris.' consisted of

auto bandit crimes in Detroit, which have
been numerous. II IL thought the pair

THIS LAD DESERVES
A CARNEGIE MEDAL

Mr.. and Mrs. z. Williamson. who
live near Montpelier creek, just
east of the railroad tracks, came
near losing their two-year-old son
by drowning last Monday afternoon.
The little fellow and his sister about
six years old, were playing along
the creek, when the baby accidently
fell into the swift flowing stream.
The sister quickly gave the alarm
but there was no one near except
her eight-year-old brother. The
lad responded to the call as rapidly
as his little legs would carry him.
Arriving at the bank he saw his
baby brother being carried down
the stream and realizing that there
was no time to seek for further
help, the lad ran along the bank un-
til he came to the railroad culvert,
when he plunged into water nearly
up TO his neck and holding onto the
culyert with one hand, he reached
out out and was just able 70 grasp
the baby's arm and pull him to
shore. Then with the assistance oi
his sister he carried the little fellow
home, who was apparently mons
Ethe worse from having fioated fifty
feet or more down the muddy
stream.
The boy Ia really entitled to
Carnegie medal for the bravery h
displayed In rescuing his BAH
brother. Had 1t not been for hi
presence Of mind, coupled with hi
heroism, the child would have beef
drowned. In saving the life Of tn
little fellow, the lad ran a grea
risk Of losing his own. for had hi
hand slipped from the part Of tn
eulvert 10 which he was holding he
too, would have been carried Int
the stream and both would doubt
less have been drowned.
