was one conscious of these difficulties

because OF that one may wonder why

Ing favor with the large attendance
which turned out for the event.
1t is always gratifying to note the
gain in popularity of native talent and
the progress made by public opinion in
its attitude toward it. This was shown
in the fne reception awarded the per-
formers yesterday. The program pre-
sented was above reproach as to good
taste and substance. giving the artists
an opportunity to display their virtu-
osity and their natural gift for music,
which they have perfected through
earnest striving.
Mr.. Webster, well known to audi
ences abroad. struck at once q modern
keynote by avoiding the traditional
beginning Of program with work
by an old master. Instead he chose q
modern Frenchman, Ravel. The per-
petual motion OF Ravels prelude and

ponderous concluding chords, enliv-
ened the atmosphere OF the concert
hall and brought an immediate re-
sponse from his hearers, who rewarded
the artist with prolonged applause. Mr..
Webster's most interesting Offering,
however, was the "Fsntasie, F. Minor.
Op. 49," by Chopin, which, together
with the "1mpromptu, Op. 49," by the
