The Philharmonic Society Is 80 years
old. II celebrates that important fact in
the musical history OF this city by two
concerts OF Beethoven music. the pro-
gram comprising the first and ninth
symphonies. The first OF the concerts
took place last evening IN Carnegie Hall
amid demonstrations of public interest
quite in accord with the dignity of the
occasion. The second concert. repeating
last evenings program. will be given IN
the Metropolitan Opera House on sun
day evening.
The ninth symphony OF Beethoven has
long been numbered among the priceless
gifts OF the Philharmonic society to the
musical life of this community. IL was
first performed by the organization at
a festival concert in Castle Garden on
May 90. 1886. The program introduced
il thus: Symphony In ID minor, No. o.
opus 125. for grand orchestra. closing
with four solo voices and grand chorus
on Schiller's ode ITO JOY, first time In
America
That historical production took place
IN the fourth season OF the Philhar-
monte. Now seventy-six years later
tho venerable body, its members young
vigorous and untiring In devotion, comes
forward once more with tho immortal
work which it made known to New
York. Times. manners and conditions
have greatly changed since the Phil
harmonic began TO preach the gospel
of Beethoven.
In place OF an orchestra subssting
precarously on tho dividends of Its own
labors we now have splendid body of
artists. backed by a large fund. insured
by company of public spirited citizens
headed by Mr.. Clarence Mackay. and
directed by conductors OF the highest
distinction in their field.
Willem Mengelherg remained In this
country to direct the anniversary con-
ccrts IT was assured therefore that the
performances would be we'll prepared.
for those acquainted with Mr.. Mengel
berg's methods know that lie Is indie
fatigable at rehearsal. The results were
made manifest last night In memorable
performance of the difficult final sym
pllony of the Beethoven series.
Meticulous insistence on points was
not always to the benefit OF the per-
Torrance, nor was the unusually broad
tempo OF the slow movement. Mr.. Men
gelberg'S read ding emphasized many de-
tails with uninistakabIc purpose, but 1t
must be confessed that there was some
thing lacking in the greater nobility
OF utterance.
The grandeur OF Becthoven's melodic
sweep was sometimes sacrificed for the
sake of a phrase, and thrs was most
frequently the case In the contrasting
passages given TO the wood winds. the
flutes In particular often standing forth
with power and brilliancy that SEEM

the whole II was a finely wrought, deep

The Trees Of New England.

The annual fight for the lives OF
New England trees has opened this
spring with unexampled vigor. It is
not the usual more or less perfume
tory warfare of desultory effort. It
is a campaign conceived on broad
lines and carried on with character
istic New England determination and
intelligence. New Eng!anders arc
awake to the fact that their forests.
their orchards and those superb over
arching shade trees which for gener
ations have been the browning glory
OF New England highways are in
peril. They have made up their
minds that It is the peril and not
the trees that must go.
Gypsy and browntail moths arc the
most dangerous enemies OF the trees.
One thing these gypsies and brown
tails cannot stand up against Is
arsenate of lead. Massachusetts is
equipped to feed them arsenate OF
lead by the ton. The State Depart
ment of Conservation, at cost of
100000, has contracted for the de-
livery at various destinations
throughout the Commonwealth Of
AIS tons of this poison for tree
spraying purposes. Private property
owners will use in addition 800 tons
more. Thus nearly 500 tons Of this
moth destroyer will be applied to
orchards and trees in all parts OF the
State.
But tho good work Is not to be
confined to tree conservation alone.

than ever before to tree propa gation.

Grant and the Bankers.
A Meeting IN New York Preceding
the Imitation Bill Veto.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A graphic
description of a meeting between Presi-
dent Grant and group of New York
bankers was given by the late Fred
eric d. Happen. who was for many
years bank president in New York
and also chairman OF the Clearing
House Association.
That meeting took place at the time
when the President had under consider
alton the so-called imitation bill, which
was passed by A very largo majority IN
each house of Congress-. The President
was told that before he acted upon tho
bill II might be well for him to meet
the leading bankers of New York who
might have some suggestions to offer to
him.
There was 10 be n dinner at the old
Union League club house, then at
Twenty-sixth street and Madison ave-
nue., and at this dinner General Grant
was to be the guest. lie came over
from Washington one afternoon and q
committee of which Mr.. Happen was
one escorted him to the club. where he
mot some thirty men who as whole
represented the banking and financial
life OF New York and to some extent OF
the country.
n was a gathering Of extraordinary
interest for all who were privileged to
share in H. General Grant set at the
head of the table and in informal con-
vcrsatlon while the dinner was In prog
rcss was agreeable and companionablo.
But as soon as the purpose for which
he met tho bankers was announced the
President became instantly the rcticent,
grim. sphinxlike character familiar to
the public when he was lighting the bat
ties OF tho civil war.
one after another of these New York
bankers expounded his view respecting
the imitation bill. Some of them con-
fessed that they were In favor OF H..
Ono who was of national fame warmly
supported tho bill. Others argued
against II. When each speaker finished
what no had to cay General Grant be-
gan to put questions to him. These
questions were az searching as those
which characterize an expert cross-ex-
aminer Yet It was impossible for these
alert men of finance and banking,
shrewd In studying faces and interpret
ing the expressions OF the countenance,
TO detect either by tho wording OF the
questions or by General Grants manner
whether he was disposed 10 favor the
imitation bill or TO veto II. Not a tone
OF his voice. not a mannerism revealed
TO anybody what was passing In the
Generals mind. He put his questions
with singular facility, apparently desir-
ing to obtain all possible viewpoints
Mr.. Happen used to say that this
xphlnxliko, lnperturbablc manner greatly
impressed every ono of the able bank
crs who spoke TO the President or
tried 10 auswer his questions, II seemed
to them that for the fret time In their
own experience they were looking at tho
Grant who as commander OF tho Union
armies gained reputation for silence and
for lnscrutable countenauce
A few days later General Grant sent
his veto OF the imitation bill to Con-
sysss. Mr.. Tappsn learned Later thst

graves the headstones are required

wars.
IT should be understood that hundreds

IN the Southern States, and had not kind

fact there would be many more I'M

furnishes hcadstones but also removes
bodies from isolated. unmarked graves
and places them side by eide with their
comrades In arms In the nearest ma
tional cemetery when the body is idcnti-
fled as that of service man.
The Grand Army of the Republic posts
IN the several States have cooperated
with the Quartermaster-G General in this
matter, as it Is a sacred duty with the
order to find and give proper recognition
to the country's dead. Therefore, 1t Is
requested that TIE NEW YoRK HERALD
