Tt was indeed q fitting and conspic-

Bridgeport. bestowed upon the incom-
parable artist, Paderewskt, upon the
occasion of his appearance here last
evening in a recital for the benefit
of the Polish Relief Fund. The thea
ire was crowded with the fashionable
element of the city's population pre-
ponderating, and the brilliant cos
TUNES of the handsome women were
strikingly noticeable. Comp lim ent
most rare indeed was paid the artist
for, in Difference to his we'll known
opinion on the subject of belated
beginning of the program, the capac-
ity audience was seated before the
hour set for the commencement of the
exercises.
The great interpreter who has at
tanned to that perfection in his art
that his assem- bled hearers seem en-
raptured at his every stroke, listening
as it were. with the souls ear, was,
apparently in his very best form
His selections were from the most
famous of the masters and included
those which have long since won for
tn emse1ves a place among the immor-
tails Of musical compositions, thanks,
in some degree at least, to the magic
and witchery of the Polish genius.

appeared to most grip the sympathies
OF the auditors, the palm would be
awarded to Erlking. in which the
brilliant technique of the master artist
was shown to fine advantage.

soon be forgotten. IS Despite the years

leased his 2O0-acre farm in George

erty donated to the state by the late
