Friedman Displays Speed
And Brilliance at Piano
Phillyda Ashley Also Pleases in
Recital-Boris Saslawsky
at Town Hall

Two pianists appeared at Aeollan
Hall yesterday. In the afternoon lgnaz
Friedman, who was heard here with
pleasure last year, gave a recital for
the first time this season. His pro-
gram included Brahms's Twenty-four
Variations and Fugue on Theme by
Handel, Liszt's B minor Sonata. and
pieces by Chopin and Wagner List
The distinguishing features Of his
playing yesterday were speed and
brilliance, the former a bit overdone
in the Sonata, which was taken at
furiously rapid tempo.
In the evening Phillyda Ashley, one
of the most talented among the young
er pianists, who played here few f7
weeks ago, gave second recital. She
both pleased and interested large
audience in a program of music by
Franck, Debussy, Schelling, Chopin and
other composers.
The only recital of the day at Town
Hall was given in the afternoon by
Boris Saslawsky, Russian barytone,
who also was blessed with an unusual
ly large audience. Mr.. Saslawsky's
voice was not remarkable in quality,
but he displayed considerable knowl-
edge of the art Of song, and interpreted
songs by Russian, German, French and
English composers with commendable
sincerity and intelligence.

Miss Farrar's Carmen Is
Ripened Impersonation
She Is Asked to Appear in
Japan; Mime. Aida Sings in
s'Manon Lescaufss

Two operas were heard for the first
time this season at the Metropolitan
Opera House yesterday. In the after.
noon Miss Geraldine Farrar once more
appeared in the title r6le OF Bizet's
Carmen" 1t is pleasant to record that
her impersonation has ripened. AL
though at times she still chose to take
regrettable liberties with Bizet's music,
she sang, on the whole, unusually we'll,
while histrionically she remained al
ways in the picture, without striving
for exaggerated effects. Her chief com
panions in an excellent performance
were Nine. Sundelius as Micacla and
Mr. Martinelli and Mr.. dc Luca as Don
Jose and Escamillo.
Before the performance Miss Farrar
was waited upon by delegation from
the Imperial Theater of Toxic. headed
by Y. Nonomiya, literary manager Of
the Imperial Theater and president OF
the Actresses Training School OF Japan,
with a request that she visit japan ana
appear in "Madama Butterfly" "Iosca"
and other roles. No definite reply was
made by the singer.
In the evening the seasons first per,
formance of Puccini's "Manon Lescaut
brought forward Nine. Aida and Mr..
Scotti in familiar roles, while Mr. Per
tile displayed agreeable Qualities IN
his first appearance as Des Grleux.

HEROES OF MIDDLE AGES
Stories Of Their Great Size and Enor.
nous Strength Appear to Be
Exaggerated.

Psychologists, after having measured
hundreds Of skeletons, testify that the
men of our own time average from one
to two centimeters taller than the men
of the middle ages according to wri-
ter in the New York Evening Post. We
possess their armor, and we do not
only appear to have grown taller as q
race since the time when the armor
was made, but our shoulders could
never fit inside the steel corselets OF
our medieval forefathers.
In France, the superintendent OF the
museums under the second empire,
wishing to put on the armor Of Francis
l, the largest suit of all in the museum
Of artillery, was unable to do so. 1t
was too small for him, although he was
In no sense a giant.
Some years ago in Switzerland, on
the occasion Of a gymnastic tourna-
ment, the young men wishing to close
the festivities by procession with
historic costumes, borrowed the arms
and armor of the arsenal. But the
young men were unable to get Into 1t.
OF the supposedly enormous strength
Of those historic warriors we have no
proof beyond the weight of the equip
ment. The harness Of the knights was
very much lighter than has commonly
been supposed. According to one OF
the catalogues Of the museum OF ar
tlllery, the weight Of the combined ar
NOR did not, as rule, exceed n1ty
pounds, and inasmuch as those who
wore it were horsemen 1t was the morse
that had to bear the greater part OF
the burden.

A Turkey Hunt.

There was an exciting turkey hunt
ON Congress Street, Portland, near the
corner of Dow one morning last week
10 which many men who were abroad
early participated. 1t was sort OF
Thanksgiving nightmare for the people
living in that section and while 1t lasted
it Was as thrilling as any turkey hunt
ought to be. Whether these were wild
turkeys or turkeys of the tame variety
nobody appeared to know, but they
could fly like hawks and they made
enough noise of the peculiar turkey
kind to arouse the entire neigbborhood
Where these birds came from nobody
seemed to know. They slighted in and
about the yard of DR.. Fred 8. Woods or
Congress Street shortly after daylight
and the noise they made created at
much excitement ss brass band parad
ing the streets at midnight. They were
in the branches of the trees In the yard
on the rsilings of the piazzas and on the
roofs of the sheds In that vicinity. They
were big birds, weighing, 60 it was
thought by those who saw them, be-
tween six and eight pounds, the most ol
them females, but at least two of them

ION THE ROAD TO MANDALAY"
Babel Of Tongues at Burmese City to
Witness Dedication Of New
Pagoda.

A curious festival was held not long
ago in Mandalay, the chief town OF
Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was to be COM
pleted by the placing Of huge crown
or thi upon its summit, more than Soo
feet above the ground.
To witness the cermony came Bud
dhists from Indo- China, from the
Himalayas, from Laos and Chan and
Slam. Warriors from Katschin, sor-
cerers from Mot and people from 9TH
er places made a medley Of languages
like that Of Babel.
On q street corner would be seen
barber pulling a customers teeth.
On another corner Mohammedan
bird dealer sold Gagged paroquets to
Buddhists, who piously set them free.
At very modern booths one could buy
Ice cream, soda or tea. Mandalay
was q gorgeous spectacle and the new
pagcda was the center OF 1t.
Every pagoda has at Its summit a
thi, or cap, the placing OF whicn Is
often a herculean task. The one
to be raised weighed several hundred
pounds and consisted Of gilded ball
and crown and great spindle above 1t.
To get It to the top an inclined
plane of bamboo scaffolding like huge
toboggan slide had been built and
was decorated with silk flags and
umbrellas. Up the inclined plane tne
heavy cap was slowly pulled. SIX
days were required for the ascent ano
a seventh to fasten 1t In place.

The Zebra.tiOrSe.

There are two zebrss in the Geological
Park at Washington, D. c., that are
attracting considerable attention. They
are known as Grevy's zebra and are be
ing used for hybrid breeding purposes
hence the interest.
Grevy's zebra, a considerable larger
and more closely striped species thar
the common zebra, 10 confined to the
more arid parts of northeastern Africa
especially Abyssinia, Sumaliland sno
northern British East Africa. 1t has 6
much longer and narrower head thar
the common zebra and IL a more hand
some animal. The two males In the
park weigh $50 and $50 pounds. Tht
frst specimen to reach the park was pre-
ssuted to President Roosevelt by EN-
peror Msnelik of Abyssinis in 1904.
Experiments In breeding the Grevy',
zebra with the horse and ass have beer
conducted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Fine examples o.
each of these interesting crosses have
been placed In the park by the depart
men,. The zebra-horse hybrid, "Juno,
is an especially beautiful animal. Thi
cross was effected by means Of artif1cia
impreguation,
