PRESENT PROGRAM l 0F 18TH CENTURY
Quartet Plays Impressive Con. cert at Trinity Church

Four musical Latins who have made a speciality of delving into the riches of 18th century compositions appeared in concert at Trinity M. E church last night. They played the piano, cello. flute and oboe, the oboeist doubling on the sister in- strument, the English horn-the alto of the oboe family.
 The English horn is the only in- strument that completely bellies its name. It isn't horn and it isn't English. How 1t ever got the name is one of those little things that musical Photographers. or what the bespectacled gentlemen are called. who research things and tonnes, have not agreed About. But it is an instrument of rare beauty-merely an oboe of larger capacity, which means 1t is lower in pitch and has a beautiful plaintive sound unlike any other. It figures prominently in the famous passage from the Dvorak slow movement in the New World symphony, the passage since used in the song Going Home."
 l There were candles in the church, burned to lend color to the character concert was given under somewhat similar conditions to those pertain ing in the 18th century. when peo- pie had no electric lights or even gas lights: but they had plenty of l fine music 10 listen to. as the play , CTS last night amptly demonstrated. Tho spokesman for the musicians did not make long speeches between numbers, but he did offer a few words of explanation. All of the early music written was prominent ly identified with the oboe and the flute. and that was why the quartet made use Of them, playing most of the music according 10 the original scores. Bach Handel. Boccherini. Lully. Purcell. Couperin. Mozart and | others were represented. and the audience held its breath at times as the exquisite harmonies floated through the church. One familiar piece. the Handel Largo. was played in manner rarely achieved and created a furore.
 Trinity Methodist church Is pro viding fine concerts ever SO often. The success Of these ventures into the tone art have been outstanding. The event Of last night will be hard to eclipse If vote of the corgre- gation were taken it undoubtedly would be unanimous for a return engagement. Nothing so attractive has been heard In this city for a long time.

Goodale, chairman and commissioner respect ively, Robert H. Bray and Charles B. Russell are reported to be con- templating legal action in order to make the elections of the previous meeting legal. This meeting was held Thursday evening, February 2 and MT. Bray and Mir. Russell were elected chairman and commissioner A long discussion ensued as to the eligibility of five persons present to vote at the meeting. Mir Bray won the election by less than five votes. The meeting supported these five persons. who were allowed to vote.

Erwin refused to relinquish them. since he felt that he had been legally elected chair man of the district and entitled to hold the papers.
