CHAUTAUQUA
 SEATS MAY
 COME BY MAIL
Committee Plans 1919 En- tertainment on Generous
 Scale.

The Chautauqua course program is now completed and will be found in full in another column.
 Course tickets are now on sale through the churches and at Cham berlain and Shropshire's, 39 Cannon street Despite the increased cost of securing such talent as appears in this course, the price of the course tickets is maintained at the customary low level. The only advance is on the single tickets for the Kaltenborn evening concert.
 If everyone had heard MT. B. R. Baumgardts recent lecture on The Stars before the Bridgeport Art League, it would not be necessary to say word about the opening lecture by him in Chautauqua week. Yet people whose judgment is worthy of respect say that this lecture on The Romance of Human Progress is even finer. It certainly will afford a splendid setting for all subsequent Chautauqua discussions. Only ann pie knowledge and the ability to make facts glow with significance could make this lecture what it is-a thing that no intelligent Rridgeporter should miss if he can help it.
 To speak of only one other attrac- ton, the Chautauqua committee be- lieve that the Kaltenbern concerts are going to be one of the few rare musical events of the season.
 This is the 22nd season for the Kaltenbern Quartet iE New York though the organization has lately been strengthened by a slight change in it's personnel. It now includes Frank Kaltenbern, first violin; Max Barr, second violin; Herbert Berod. kin, viola, and Gustave Hornberger, violencello.
 The programs will be of the noblesi chamber music.

SOCIETY TO SING < FORA N0vISSIMA
 TUESDAY, MAR. 1S
Annual Spring Concert of Oratorio Society at High
 School.

Music lovers are looking forward to the real treat of the Bridgeport Oratorio 'Society's career when this famous chorus will sing Horatio Par ker's flora Novissima" at it's annual spring concert to be held Tuesday evening, March IS in the High School Auditorium.
 The stirring events of the past four years constitute striking analogy to the conditions that, seven hundred years ago, inspired the writing of 'Hora Novissima.'' The tune which pr. Parker, now dean of the Music School of Yale University, has here set to such a wonderfully beautiful and effective music is a portion of one of the greatest of Latin poems De Contemptu Mundi, by Bernard de Morlaix, a monk of Cluny, G. 1122- 1156). The poem is mainly a fierce arraignment of the sins and corrup- ton of the mediaeval Latin Church, but opens, by way of contrast, with a glowing description of the peace and glory of the Celestial Country that would grow out of the Church's puri- f1caion. Four years ago the worst of the times C'Tempora pessima'D were upon us. The Crusade on which the AOWer or Anerlca young man. hood shortly went forth resulted in victory for our arms.
 And they who, with their Leader,
 Have conquered in the fight,
 Forever and forever
 Are clad in robes of white!''
 The work gets it's English title, The Celestial Country" from the translation by the Rev. John Mason Neale the sweetest and dearest re- ligious poem that our language con tains'' and from which are taken the three familiar hymns, Jerusalem the Golden," For Thee, O, Dear Country and Brief Life is Here Our Portion ' pr. Neale's translations are used tC identify the various numbers in pref erence to the remarkably fine but less familiar translation in the metre ot the original, by the composers moth CT, with which the vocal score is pro- vided.
 the Church Choral Society of New . flora Novissima" was written for York city in 1892 and had its first performance by that society on May 8, 1893, in the church of the Holy Trinity which then stood at the northeast corner of Madison avenue and Forty-Second street, and of whicf Dr. Parker was at that time organis and choir-master.

where he had been leaning. Estrada, sent by Rickard to find out why the train did not pull out, saw him the same instant as did Molly. Silent swayed, waving them back unseeingly, like man who is drunk.
 God, man, you can't go like thatl" cried Estrada.
 "Who's going?" demanded Silent, his tongue thick with thirst and exhaus- tion. The whistle blew again.
 q will!" The train moved out on the trestle, as the whistle blew angrily twice. Only Molly and Silent saw Es- trada go.- Silent staggered unseeingly up the bank toward the camp, Molly following.
 The river was humping out wonder; the rolling mass came roaring, flank on, against the dam. "Quick, for Gods sake, quick !" yelled Rickard. His signals sounded short and sharp. ''Dump it on, throw the cars in!" Marshall was dancing, his mouth full of oaths, on the bank edge. Breathlessly all watched the rushing water fling itself over the dam. For several hushed seconds the struc- l ture could not be seen. When the foam fell cheer went up. The dam was standing. Silent, it was supposed, was bringing in his train. Above the distant jagged line of mountains rose red ball. A new day ! began. And again the Dragon rose; a mountain of water came rolling dam ward.
 1 Three trains ran steaming on the rails.
 Don't stop now to blast the big ones. Pour 'em on. :" ordered Rickard. | There was a long wait before any 1 rock fell. Marshall and Rickard walt ed for the pour. The whistles blew again. Then they saw what was wrong The morning light showed a rock weighing several tons which was resisting the efforts of the pressing
 crew. Out of the gloom sprang other
 figures with crowbars. The rock tot
 tered, fell. The river tossed it as though it were a tennis ball, sent it hurtling down the lower face of the
 dam.
