Furores cannot be kept up. Let every
music lover in this town watch the
developments of next season. There
are three contestants for Philharmonic
honors, namely, Messrs. Mengelberg
Stransky and Bodanzky. The moment
audiences cease to feel the divine rage
when Mr.. Mengelberg is conducting
that moment the Dutch conductors
doom is sealed. He must ride always
on the hurricane. He must necessarily
be the centre of a turbulent excite
ment Mr.. Bodanzky must be a close
second. But all the time Mr.. Stransky,
who has never been a centre of ex-
element who has not created any
furores who has not amazed or dunn
founded any portion Of the public, will
go peacefully on his way conducting
Philharmonic concerts. and the proba-
bilities are that when Mr.. Mengelberg
is back in Holland, Mr. Stransky will
still be composedly leading the Phil

as Annie Louise Cary and Trebelli
and Scalchi succeeded Marietta Alboni
