ELECTRIC DEPT. UNABLE TO GET INNER GLOBES
Strike at General Electric Plant ir Pittsfield Has Stopped Shipments

At the regular meeting of the gas and electric commissioners Supt. Ke- hoe presented a letter signed by MT. Kendall, manager of the supply de- partment of the General Electric Co.,, in regard to inner globes that are used in old carbon arc lamps in use by the city. Owing to the strike that is go- ing on at the PittsfieId plant of the General Electric Co.,. it is impossible to give shipping data on these arc globes. The writer of an article which appeared in The Bulletin Monday morning seemed to construe the idea that the inner globes need washing. This is not the case as will be seen by the letter.
 Fifty new lamps have already been installed and a second consignment of 50 was promised for Sept IS but they have not been received as yet. The manufacturers claim that the glass ware is the cause for the holdup.
 A threc~sSch gas main is being in stalled on Carroll avenue and later a gas main will be installed on Tanning avenue off Washington street and on Hedge avenue extension.

NORWICH MUSIC ASSOCIATION.
Opening Night at Slater Hall Was
 Devoted to Russian Music.

 Preceding the musical programme, a short talk on Russian music and com poSerS was given by Mrs. Charles Has, kell which added much to the apprecia- tion and enjoyment of the evening. The very short period which is covered by Russian composition, only 70 years, was spoken of, the lyric style, and the evolution from the national folk songs. The oldest form was heard in the Rus quartette and is perhaps familiar to us all.
 Selections frcm the opera A Life for Czar were given by Miss Helen B. Royce. violin, with fine technique and sympathetic interpretation. Miss Royce was accompanied by Miss Annie Taft.
 Mrs. Tracy SheffieId's delightful ren- dering of the Nocturne, Scria bine and Etude- -Arensky was delicate and dainty in the extreme.
 Mrs. Gardiner Greene was heard in two groups of songs, each showing the prevailing characteristic of the Rus sian music, a tone of sadness. which was most sympathetically brought out. Mrs. Greene was accompanied by Miss Ella Potter
 Miss Royce's second selections, Tschaikowsky's Song Without Words and Glazounoff's Meditation, were also sweet and lovely of tone,
 In sharp contrast of style were the rollicking Polichine1le by Rachmanin- off, beautifully played by. Robert Gale Moves, and the playful Dance of the Gnomes by Sapellnikoff, given so ex- quisitely by Mrs. Sheffield.
