The New York Symphony.

Yesterday at the first appearance in
Washington this season of the New
York Symphony Orchestra Mr.. Dam
roSch broke an unWritten law against
orchestral 'encores" when he led his
fine organization in a repetition of the
intriguing Entrance of the Fauns," ="
music from Pierne 'Cydalise" bal
let. Mrs. Coolidge and the audience
at large grew so enthusiastic over the
exquisite bit of eltin music that the
repetition Semed quite logical and en-
joyable.
The symphony was Tschaikowsky's
famous symphonic Pathetique." !"
There are three always popular SYM
phonieS with the general audience,
BeethoVen'S ''Eroica." this sixth sym
phony by Tschaikowsky and the
Schubert Unfinished Symphony
The audience yesterday listened with
unusually concentrated interest to the
artistic unfolding of the "Pathetique, )"
and showed marked appreciation of
the beautiful way in which the or
"heStra played it. Mr.. DamroSch him
self seemed quite moved by the over
Whelming pOignancy of the inevitable
tragedy in the final movement. 1t
is indeed a powerful work and was eX-
CCllentiy presented.

this vital symphony We're a charming

knowing these and more details of the
singers history, it seemed as though
each song showed a successful answer
to the various obstacles which have
beSet Marian Anderson'S path. Her
tone is beautifully resonant i'll every
note of a wide range from lowest CON
tralto to soprano heights. Her breath
control is intelligent and without eff
fort. All her energies are put into
the pronunciation of her words and
Interpretation. She is still young for
the latter, and her French and Ger
man, while academic, lack the tang"
of the languages. Her Latin was eX-
cellent in 20 del mio dulce ardor," by
GIuck, and 'Ah. rendimi," by Rossi
both beautifully sung. Scott's 'Lul-
laby," Dvoraks Song My Mother
Taught Me-" Liza Lehmann's THE
Cuckoo" and the last group, including
Robinson's water Boy" Burleigh's $
"Doan You Weep When I'm Gone" ="
Browns Every Time l Feel the
Spirit" and, as encore, Joshua Fit
the Battle of Jerico," all Were excel
lent.
In the French group the singer got
the feeling of Saint Saens, DebuSSY' $
and, Bachelet's music, but not of the
language. In the German group the
same was true of the Schubert and
Brahms numbers sung in true lieder
style. Schubert's Nv ohm" was es-
pecialy good. Rachmaninoff' Before
My Window" and SprosS' "F'ulflli-
ment' We're fine songs which the
singer has not yet made her own.
There is undoubtedly a progressive
" great future before a singer with
the voice and training that Marian
Anderson possesses. Ii. Il.

MANY WINTER SPORTS
 ENJOYED AT SPITZBERGEN
People Who Think This Is Land Shrouded in Gloom Are
 Much Mistaken.

Barte nsburg, Green Harbor, Spitzbergen, Aug. 2S R9 -- Winter ing in spitzbergen is anything but the dreadful ordeal that people in other parts of the world might imagine it to be. A correspondent of the Associated Press, discussing the subject with the wife of an of- ncial here was told:
 we have the jolllest time imag- inable in winter. People who don't know Spit2bergen think of it as a land shrouded in gloom, dashed by incessant blizzards and wholly un- ft for civilized people. That is quite a mistake. After the ice closes in, say in October, we know We are thrown upon our own resources, and we make the best of them.
 Tt is never really pitch dark, for several months there is always 8 faint glow in the sky, and of course the whiteness of the snow helps, Then we have the radio: i'll winter we can hear London and Paris; we have music parties, social evenings, billiard tournaments, and, my good ness, think of the glorious snow sports and skiing competitions, and the lovely sledging trips! We often visit our neighbors at Advent bay with our dog sledges. It takes IS hours across the mountains. The Advent bay people visit the Svcdes at Braganza bay, and we have no end of fun - we are just one hap py family. But 1t would be lovely to see Paris and London again." she added with a far-away look in her eyes.

CANAL NEARING
 FINAL COMPLETION
Rhone,to.Marseilles Project First
 BrOaChed AIS Years Ago

Marseilles, Aug. .S Op) -- A pro. sect that has been on foot AIS years will be realized October 1, when the last rocks that keep the water of the Mediterranean out of the Rhone-to- -Marseilles canal will be blasted. Then will have been finish eu continuous waterway nayigable by the largest canal harges from the North sea 10 the Mediterranean. by way of the Rhine, Doubs and Rhone rivers and the Rhonc to Marseilles canal. The work will have cost 2lG,o00,0O0 francs and besides the record for time con- sumed in its realization It will have surpassed all tunnels in Europe in rock and earth removed.
 From the tunnel part of the canal. which is only five miles long. 2,S00,000 cubic yards of earth and rock were taken beating the record Of the Saint Gothard and Simplon tunnels in Switzerland which are longer but much smaller.
 When Richilieu came upon the scene of European politics as min ister of Louis XIII he found the proposals for this canal in the archives of the state awaiting ac- tion. Religious controversies occu- pied the attention of France too much at that time 10 permit atten- tion to such a broad scheme. Richt- lieu and Louis XIII passed from the scene of action and all the rest of the French kings came and went before the proposition again came to light. It was resurrected In 1920 | for brief inspection and again for gotten until 1S40. when q function | ary of the public works department | drafted plan for the realization | of the project. It took S9 years more to get 1t before parliament l and A years more to get 1t voted. Finally, the creation of a canal | from the Mediterranean in the l vicinity of Marseilles 10 the river Rhone at Aries, a distance of St 1 miles, was authorized by law in | 1908. It took eight years more to ! complete the preparations for the | work. which was begun in 1911, and | has continued uninterruptedly since | in spite of the World war.
 The new waterway completed by | the Rhone-t Narseilles canal Is | the first to effectively cut what is called The European Isthmus' composed ot Holland, Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal and furnish short cut from the North sea to the east by water to traffic of importance.
