CHORAL SOCIETY IS READY FOR CONCERT
Leading Vocahsts to Garry Solo
 Parts Jan. Y

The New Britain Choral Society has completed arrangeme for it's first concert of the season to be given Tuesday evening, January IT, at the Russwin Lyceum theater and the pub lie is assured of real musical treat.
 The chorus of 100 mixed voices is making wonderful progress under the leadership of Director E. F. Laubin and the remaining rehearsals will produce the finish which marked the work of the chorus at its first con- cert last April.
 The program will be of miscella- neous character, consisting of two short cantatas for full chorus, ex- cerpts from Elijah" and a part song. Selections by the ladies' chorus and solo mem bers by the artists, Madam Betsy Lane Shepard and Arthur Mid dleton, complete the program.
 The concert will open with Horatio Parker's Dream King and His Love- ' cantata for full chorus. This work

ized the old familiar Scotch air The Campbells are Coming with telling effect.
 Special interest is attached to the selections from the oratorio Elijah" by Felix Mendelssohn. With the possible exception of The Messiah" by Handel, the Elijah" of Mendels- sohn is the best known and most uni versally loved of all oratorios. Ar thur Middleton, baritone of the Met ropolitan Opera company, will sing the aria Tt is Enough" and this will be followed by the beautiful and uplifting chorus He is Watching Over Israel"
 The concert will end with the fa- miller but stirring "Song of the Vikings" by Tanning, which will be a fitting number to close a brilliant pro- gram.
 Middleton Great Baritone.
 A word should be said here in re- gard to the soloists. The society is to be congratulated upon securing the services of MT. Middleton, whom the foremost critics have acclaimed the greatest baritone before the public During his first season at the Metro politan Opera House he appeared thirty-f1vc times an unusually large number for a newcomer in the opera field. MT. Middleton has been re- engaged by the Metropolitan and there is every indication that his opera roles will shortly make him world famous since voices like that of this young American are exceedingly rare, even in grand opera.

BARTENDER FINED
 FOR PLYING WHIP
And Russians Attack Poles a La
 European

Leon Skritulsky of 191 Washington street, employed by his father, John skritulsky of 2e Broad street, as a bartender, was fined $25 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today for assaulting James Car roll of 1O2 Sexton street with, ac- cording to witnesses, whip resemh- ling the famous cat Q rine, tails of marine history. Skritulslv denied absolutely that any whip lad been type and that there is none back of the bar. Through Attorney Patrick r. McDonough, an appeal was taken with bonds fixed at $50. #
 According to the defense, Carroll had been warned not to enter tho 5a- loon because of past trouble bot per- sisted in doing so and in his demands to be served. Skritulsky said that Carroll not only insistel ill his de- nlands for a drink but threw three or four heavy beer schooners at hiIf. narrowly missing him and tke plate glass mirror back of the bar. Indig- nant deniel was made to t:'e tlllega tions that the whip, strap. or any such weapon. was used.
 Carols intention that the whip had been used with such effect as to leave marks on his face was support cd by John Cooper of 5 Faruington avfnne, A. Warner of 12o Sexton a;i ct and James Moore of 5e7 Main street. Witnesses for the defense were the father of the accused, his associate bartender and a patron of the saloon.
 Russian Attack in Morris Sector.
 '"The Russians ars licki'S the Poles in Europe and We might as we'll do it here" was the battle cry in Norris saloon at Main and Lafayette street in connection witb rumpus that led to the arrest of John Balkan of 34 Silver street and John Yarnor- onek of 217 Broad street for assault upon John Moske of 2l9 Broad street, attendant of the pool tables. That, at least was the contention of MosI;e ana witnesses for the prosecution. It was testified that Felix Lutansky head bar tende.. and three assistants tried in vain to check the rui>: Das and then called the police. The trouble starr ed over alleged non-payment for pool games Balkan was fined SIS and costs while Yarnoronel was assessed s7 ana costs. Attorfey J. X. Glover appeared for the deferse.
 His Tcrty-third Trip.
 For the forty-third tim since Oc tober P, 1894, Dennis NcInerney Of 76 New Park avenue, Hortford. known to, the police nearly a quarter of century ago as .'Airshio DenIy." ar- peared and attempted to defend a charge of intoxication by contending that it was the effects of pair Of new and slippery shoes that made him act so queerly instead of m excessive load of liquor. The excuse, while novel, did not get him anything and thirty days in jail was his portion.
 McInerney's record covers more than one card in the police records and shows that he has been in the habit of being arraigned in court twice year. He is credited with be- ing forty-seven years old and, when not in jail, is able to earn good pay as a plumber. Attempts to straighten hin out have been fruitless, although a term at the state farm for inch riates has been included in the at tempted reformation.

is being given for the first time in New Britain and too much cannot be said of this beautiful composition. The text with it's varying moods is most admirably brought out by the music, which reflects the full genius of the celebrated American composer It will without doubt appeal to all lovers of music.
 Another work to be rendered is Fair Ellen," a dramatic cantata by Max Bruch, for full chorus with solos for baritone and soprano. This can tata, while not new to New Britain has not been given here for some years and is we'll worthy of a place on the program The scene of the story is laid in Scotland at the time when the various clans were in feudal strife.

derful operatic possibilities of MT. Middleton's voice were brought to the discriminating attention of Mme. Frances Aida, the famous prima donna soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company. Mime. Aida, who in private life is the wife of M. Giulio Gatti-Casazza, general manager of the Metropolitan, was so captivated with MT. Middleton's singing that she at once arranged an addition for the baritone at the worlds greatest opera house. On hearing this well known concert singer the directorate immedi- ately engaged him. The Middleton opera repertory includes: I4ohengrir, Fidelo, Carmen, Aida, Rheingold, Euryanthe, Parsifal, Faust, Martha and the Freischutz, with many others in preparation.
 A Jew of the past engagements Of MT. Middleton should be enumerated for his list includes twelve consecutive appearances with the Apollo club of Chicago, the Portland (Oregon) fes- tival, the Louisville festival. the Han del and Haydn society of Boston, the spartanburg festival, the Denver Choral association (three times), St. Paul orchestra (three appearances), l,

 Madam Shepherd.
 The soprano, Madam Betsy Lane Shepherd, is so1oist of the Cavalry Methodist church of New York city
 nyo e,< c1, has sung many times in the Middle West, to the delight of audiences and critics alike. Madam Shepherds ser- vices are in such demand that she filled no less than twenty one engage ments in December and the New Britain Choral society is indeed for turate to secure her services.
 It was at Scranton, Pa, that Madam Shepherd scored a veritable triumph on the occasion of her appearance as soloist with the Symphony orchestra. She fairly swept the audience out of themselves as she concluded the big aria from Massenet's ''Le Cid'' and cave as an encore the "Jewel Song" from Faust
 Madam Shepherd recently appeared as soloist with the Civic orchestra in Madison Square Garden, singing the aria "Depuis Le Jour" from Char pentier's Louise and the Snake Charmers Song by Liza Lehman, exhibiting voice exauisitely smooth, yelvety of tinbre and capitalized from top to bottom.
 It is a matter of no little satisfaction to the officers and members of the society to know that the New Britain public is very appreciative of their efforts to give the city @ musical society of this kind and to bring to the city such artists as have been engaged for this concert.
 There is every indication that the house will be completely sold out and another big success is assured.
