World Of uSic
-hema From Dance Of the Hours" by Ponchielli

meme T rom DOllCS OL
Have you a little musical
problem in your home? Par
ents are invited to write the
World of Music for advice on
questions of musical education.
Answers will be published as
space and time permit.
Why does Alfredo Salmaggi,
impresario of the Chicago Opera
Company, usually require audi
ences to wait so long between
acts? This is a question that has
puzzled us for 10 years ever since
we sat until midnight in the Polo
Grounds Stadium one night wait
ing for Salmaggi to start the third
act of an outdoor performance OF
Aida"
The answer has just been made
public. Sunday night a Brooklyn
audience had to wait only 80 min
utes for the third act Of aida.
This time Salmaggi apologized to
the audience for the delay that
was caused by the demand Of the
singers for their pay for the per-
formance before they would re
turn to the stage.
1t seems that although Salmaggi
is most active and industrious in
trying to make two operas bloom
where one bloomed before, his en-
thusiasm sometimes overcomes his
better judgment with the result
that singers have acquired the EN-
barrassing habit of requiring their
pay for each performance before
the end of the opera.
While Salmaggi has seldom been
able to present singers Of the first
water, he has made grand opera
available to countless throngs at
a price within the range of movie
charges. He is evidently con
fronted with the problems of fl.
nance which bring about such sit
uations as mentioned.
If memory serves correct, the ad'
vertising of the outdoor produc'
tion about 10 years ago stated that
there would be a number of real
elephants and a large cavalcade OF
horses. One elephant material
lied. That explains the delay in
starting Aida" Salmaggi must
have counted the box office re
ceipts before he decided on how
many elephants to rent.

TIRE SALE CASE:
RESUMED
international News Service

The long drawn out contest be-
tween the Federal Trade Commis-
sion and the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company over alleged al
lowances to a large Chicago mail
order house in the sale Of tires
was resumed yesterday when
counsel for the company argued
the met discrimination" was JUS
titled because of tremendous
sales to the mail order house
through it's Chain stores.
Chapman Rose, Goodyear cour1-
sci, said the company had sold
tires to Sears, Roebuck and Com
pany over an eight-year period
for $7,985, ,439 less than the same
tires would have cost other deal
ers. He said the mail order bust
ness constituted 18 per cent OF
Goodyear's tire output.
He asserted the met diScrim1-
nation amounted to only 4.46
per cent when net profit was
compared with the gross sale"
The commission had previously
charged Goodyear with a dis
elimination Of 17.3 per cent.

ON WOOLF'S RIDING
Beats ChanCery by a Neck
in Bennington Handicap
at Rockingham.
BY the Associated Press.

by Lie hSSOCldlcu 1863
- ALIEN, N H, September 21.-
- George Woolf, who rode Azucar
to victory in the 100000 Santa
~ Anita Handicap, continued his
brilliant riding at Rockingham Park
this afternoon by capturing the
$4,000 added Bennington Handicap
on Mrs. C. Cranes Ladfield.
Ladfield packed 125 pounds. the
heaviest weight in the race, and had
to race down the home stretch to
overtake Marty Madden's Chancery
and w. Grafam'S Kievex, who were
battling it out in front until 10 yards
from home.
The 6-year-old horse trailed practi-
cally all the way in the mile and
one-sixteenth feature. He was fifth
in the field of six for the first three
quarters. sneaked up to third at the
head of the stretch, and then put on
pressure which neither Kievex nor
Chsncery, for all their gameneSs,
could withstand.
Woolf won by only neck over
Chancery, the 5-to-6 favorite, which,
in turn, was only a neck in advance
of Kievex in a blanket finish which
had the $4,000 customers in a wild
uproar.
Ladfield had to run outside both
Chancery and Kievex to carve his
way to victory. Last Wednesday, in
the Speed Handicap, a 6-furlongs
dash, he ran second to the mighty
Sation, and he completed an excellent
week today by winning the Ben
nington.
