The acoustic properties OF the
Omaha Auditorium concerts compare
with any auditorium or coliseum in
the country, insists Thomas J. Kelly,
director of the Mendclssohn choir.
II have heard a report or two
around Omaha" said Mr.. Kelly, shat
it was difficult to hear at the Audi
forum. 1t is quite the contrary, and
| have only to quote some OF the men
who know to disprove it.
Frederick J. Vessels, manager OF
the Chicago Symphony orchestra, has
probably seen more auditoriums than
any other man in the United States.
He declares the acoustics of the
Omaha Auditorium are especially
good. Frederick Stock, director Of
the Chicago orchestra, agrees with
Mr.. Vessels, and Dr.. Karl Muck of
the Boston Symphony orchestra last
spring especially commented upon the
admirable acoustic properties of the
Omaha Auditorium.

Red Pile Game Bantams.
COPYRIGHT. 1916.

Almost from the beginning OF poultry
culture, there have been fanCiers who
sought to establish breeds of I}antams
modelled on the shape and type Of the
larger or standard varieties Of fowls The
game fowl at one time was the most
popular fowl in England hence it is nat
ural that bantams of this fowl be among
the first originated.
Sixty years ago the Game Bantam was
short-legged loose feathered. carried a
big spread tail and long dropping wings;
which paraleled the standard Games Of
that time. About 1852 the first Game Ban
tams of good quality were reported and
by 1867 considerable progress was shown.
until now We have now even better quail
itN in the Bantams than in the larger
Games They have been brought to a
high state Of development in England,
and many of the best specimens have
been imported by American breeders
