Thus spoke Middleton, who is
too busy filling concert engage

with the Metropolitan Opera
house; Arthur Middleton, whom

AS w. Z. Mcdowell, president of
the Fortnightly club, and a few
other musc-lovers listened, Mid
dleton reminisced last night at the
Alvarado. He told us how he came
to leave concert singing in Chica-
go for a meteoric operate career
at the Metropolitan, during which
he learned fourteen roles and
sang in thirty eight performancesI
in seven months.
1t was a tale of the kindly inter
est of a prima donna who knew a
good voice when she heard it; of
an appointment to sing before
Americas greatest impressario; of
doorkeepers and sub-secretaries
who didn't know their business; of
an Independent Chicago singer who
wasn't worrying whether Gatti
heard him or not; of some plain
middle west speech to the impress
sario's secretary, which brought
instant action; of three additions
and three separate offers of con-
tracts for three years; of the inde- |
pendent Americans refusal OF
these offers until the ANTE" was
raised and the time cut down 10

mercurial Italians, be could make

This started the discussion along
the channels Of m American
school of singers and of music.
'If I thought that it could be
done l would gladly lend my eff

PRESENT DAY FREIGHTERS
Modern Steel Boats Are Replacing
Old Time Whalebacks
ASSOCIATED Press Dlspatcn.I

Duluth, Mimi, August 1.-The
whaleback freighter, twenty years
ago king" of freight-carrying
craft on the Great Lakes, is fast
dropping from sight. In the early
nineties the pride of all seamen and
the favorite of ship owners because
ii measured more tonnage with less
registration, the queer old whaleback
has been superseded by the spacious
and even luxurious modern steel
freighter.
Captain Alexander McDougal, Du
luth's veteran shipbuilder, designed
the whaleback and built the first at
the local yards. When it was found
to have advantages over the common
style of lake carriers, eastern yards
were given large orders and soon
many fleets of whalebacks were ply
ing the lakes.
The present day freighter usually
runs more than $50 feet in length,
with carrying capacity as high as
$4,000 tons. The whaleback with its
400 feet had a maximum capacity of
5000 tons.
The whaleback at the time it first
came into use could be built for less
than 100000. Today's freighters cost
as much as $1,125,000 A few of the
whalebacks are still in freight SER
for excursion purposes, retains its
popularity and remains the best
known boat Of its kind on Lake
Michigan.
