Hodgkin Dorsey, has presented all the
compositions Of Chopin in six re-
citals in New York City this winter.
His program yesterday also was an all
Chopin one. He played the F sharp
minor and the A fiat major Polonaise,
the Sonata in B Minor, Op. 58"; the
"Mazurka in D Major" the "Nocturne
in D Flat Major" the "Ballade in G
Minor" the "Fantasie-1m -1mpromptu on
c Sharp Minor" the Waltz in E
Flat Major" and two "Ecossaises" in
D major and in D fiat major.
With these selections from the
Chopin literature, one had a sample
Of each type of composition in which
Chopin excelled. 1t was an interesting
choice. particularly as the works
blended excellently as to mood. Mr..
Brailowsky fulfilled the task he set
himself in, thus standing as an ex-
ponent OF Chopin best from the tech
nical side, for however sincere his
intent, he did not open the way to 4
greater understanding of the composer
or to clearer picture Of the strange
and evasive soul of that superbly en-
dowed man.
Mr.. BrailoWsky'S earnestness of pur-
pose and his pianistic ability are above
question. But there have been other
pianists who, at least in individual
numbers, have caught the rare spirit
of Chopin and given it out with a
wealth of tonal color and a depth of
sentiment which seemed to approM-
mate both Chopin's idea and his
manner of playing. Mr.. Brailowskys
interpretations followed the accepted
line without any original touches.
LIS tendency is to volume OF tone,
with little degree of shading be-
tween loud and soft. An inconsist-
ency in his technique. such as a lack
OF clarity in runs at one moment,
which were clear at another and a
failing to reach a proper climax from
well-started phrase cropped out
from time to time That he felt the
poetic content Of the music was OBJ
vious. yet in his care for detail the
flow Of the idea dragged and its spirit
ualty lacked emphasis.
The "PoIonaise in A Flat Major"
suited his pianistic style best and he
played it with sonorous amplitude and
breadth Of line. The sonata was
given with fine insight with the ex-
ception Of the largo, where again one
missed the sustaining emotion and
that particular mood Of feeling which
only Chopin could express. The less
familiar "Polonaise in F. Sharp Minor
contained many contrasting effects
well developed and its massive struc-
ture was outlined with this in mind.
Delicate Tone Coloring
The two "EcosSaises" We're the most
plant of the selections on the pro-
gram, Mr. Brailowsky coloring them
with delicacy of tone and technical
fluency and lightness. The other

Augustana
Choir Gives
Concert
Chorus of so Sings
Here as Part of
Goodwill Tour.

TINE Augustana Choir of Angus
tana College, Rock Island, ILL.,,
on a goodwill tour of the
country in celebration of the
300th celebration of the landing of
the first Swedes in America. gave
what might be easily called one Of
the outstanding choral programs Of
the season last night at the Lutheran
Church of the Reformation. The per-
formance was arranged under the aus
pices Of the Minister Of Sweden, Mr..
Wollmar Bostrum; Senator Joseph
F. Guffey, chairman of the Tercen-
tary Commission Of the Landing Of the
Swedes on the Delaware, and the Au-
gustana Lutheran Church.
The chorus, under the direction of
Henry Weld, Is composed of so stu
dents, equally divided as to young
ladies and men. Mr.. Weld is a virile
conductor, who demonstrated his abil-
ity as master technician in the
training Of young voices. OF special
interest is the remarkable precision
and absolute control the director had
at all times over his singers. Clean
enunciation and accurate pitch were
features of the ensemble work that
testify to the fact that this is no ordi-
nary chorus.
The general scheme of the varied
program included three numbers each
by the ladies' chorus and the male
chorus, followed by two major groups
for the entire ensemble AS was to be
expected, Swedish composers predom-
mated. '"The Shepherdess' Sunday"
for Women's voices by the Norwegian,
Ole Bull; "Nu Herrans dag det ar"
by Kreutzer; "Halsning Till Hemlan-
det," by KRONER, both for male voices
and several beautiful works for the
mixed voices were feature numbers.
Noble Gains difficult Rarely CONTEST
Thou" was given a highly profess
sional reading, while the Echo Song"

port in Rachmaninoff's Floods OF

on the program by his own arrange
ment for chorus of 'Tonerna," by

CASTING DELCOS
 FEATURE CIRCUS
Waterbury Act Dominates Zindah GrOttO's Fifth
 Annual Entertainment

A Waterbury act, the Casting Del cos, world famous aerialists who learned trapeze stunts at Turn Hall on North Main street years ago, stole the thunder at the fifth an- nual Zindah Grotto Circus which drew approximately 4,000 to two per formances at the state armory yes- terday.
 Comedy and thrills studded the act which opened the second half of the enjoyable program offered under the personal direction of Frank Wirth. The laughs were offered by Jimmie Del Gobbo, for mer North End resident who now resides in HarWinton and the thrills were offered by his pretty wife Rose.
 The pair fly through the air with the greatest of ease while spectators hold their breath. The bar pair who catch the aerialists are Marvin Mason of Tboma.ston and John Hartman of Reading, Pa.
 Mems and Madame Loyal offere1 their French Poodle Dog display in a diversified act which combined canine skill and laughs and noise galore. A high powered dynamic car, driven by the competent laugh provoker, Count Ernest WisWell, af- forded plenty of laughs in a ten minute skit which at times sounded like revolution.
 George Hannaford, brother of the famous "Poodles", substituted in the Hannaford Family's riding act for his for his more renowned brother and few in the audience realized the famous "Poodles" was among the missing.
 The Gaunchos, an Argentine teeter board troupe, experienced many misses, but their successful ventures were so thrilling the mis- cues were overshadowed. The group is one of the youngest troupes ever appearing here.
 Other good acts were Capt. Del- mar and his Fighting Lions, Larry Sauders, the Flying Wonder; Spiller and his famous Seals; Pow CTS Hippodrome elephants; Serge Petfoff and his Russian Bears, and Don Francisco, the Mexican Cabal- lero on The Silver Tread.

Leader Fined $lOO, Given Jail Sentence Water
 burians Among List of Defendants in New Britain

New Britain, Conn, March 29- (UP)-Louis Garloni, Hartford, divi- sional servant for the southwestern New England division of Jehovah's witnesses, was fined $10O and costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail when arraigned in police court to- day with 46 others of the sect charged with breach of peace.
 Six others were fined $100, six minors were given suspended jail sentences of ten days each and the remaining 34 were assessed $25 and costs each.
 Garloni posted an appeal bond of $500.
 The arrests were made Saturday for distributing literature through out the city.
 While courts in two cities prepared actions against them for alleged il- legal distribution of pamphlets, local members of Jehovah's Witnesses to- day cheered a decision of the United States supreme court, which was de- cidedly in their favor on the issue.
 Hearing Tomorrow
 Several Waterburians are included in the 66 members who were fined $29.80 each in Bristol police court yesterday; and the A who face sim liar proceedings in New Britain court today. Appeals have been taken from the Bristol disposition, and bonds of $25 each have been filed by those who must appear in New Britain tomorrow.
 The supreme court yesterday de- nounced as invalid on its face" a Griffin, Georgia, ordinance, requir- ing distributors of circulars to take out a municipal license. It is on the ground that the distributors did not have licenses that the two Connecticut cities are moving against the witnesses.
 Waterbury also has an ordinance requiring license for the diStribu- tion of circulars and pamphlets. This too, is invalid, according to the supreme court decision.
 Courts Comment
 In part, the supreme courts com- mentary on the case was as fol- lows:
 "The liberty of the press is not confined to newspapers and period icals. It necessarily embraces pam phlets and leaflets. These indeed have been historic weapons in the defense of liberty, as the pamphlets of Thomas Paine and others in our own history abundantly attest. The press in its historic connotation comprehends every sort of publica- ton which affords a vehicle of in- formation and opinion.
 "The ordinance cannot be saved because it relates to distribution and not to publication"

SHERRY CORP. SETS
 NEW RECORD HIGH
Parent Organization of Waterbury Tool Co.
 Earns $2,776,O65

Net profits from operations of Sperry Corporation and it's sub sidiaries of which the Waterbury Tool Company is one, advanced to a new high of $2,766,065 last year, an increase of 82.9 per cent over $1,- 512,046 in 1886.
 Including profit of $183.794 on sale of securities, Sperry's total net profits were $2,949, ,859 in 1887, equiv- alent to $1.46 a share. In 1886, when profits of $1,058,522 were de- rived from sales of securities (main- ly Curtiss-Wright stock), Sperry's total net profits were $2,57O,568, or $132 a share on the stock then outstanding.
 Thomas A. Morgan, president, said that as a result of the company's development program, the aeronau- tical instruments developed by Sperry Gyroscope Company, during the past five years contributed half of that subsidiary's business in 1897. Expansion of plant and equipment since 1883 has involved an expenditure of $2,468,382 by the corporation and a net increase in the plan and equipment account of $l,7O1, ,487, after depreciation, he said.
