a round Of golf.
Every person in the enormous and
brilliant audience which attended the
concert given yesterday afternoon at

Italian war relief is the richer for an
experience which he will not soon for
get. The recital was given by Enrieo
Caruso, Nine. Frances Aida and

enod young pianist, Miss Erin Bal
lard.
The fact that the great Italian tenor
seldom sings in concert unless II
benefits in some way his native land,
and that he has not appeared in
Washington in more than ten years
served to give added interest to the
great musical event of the season; /;
and the way in which the people Of
Washington responded to this appeal
for the war sufferers of Italy showed
once and for all that we have no lack
OF sympathy for a nation which has
fought so well and suffered 50 hide
ously for the allied cause.
The great audience was reused TO
pitch OF spontaneous enthusiasm
which was most Impressive. and the
waves OF hand clapping were pune
tuated by huzzas and the sound OF
many stamping feet. The Stars and
Stripes and the flag OF Italy were
mingled in the decoration OF the the
ater, which was abloom with howers
and presented gala aspect.

who attended the beneft. were ac-
corded a veritable ovation on their
