TWIN CITY HERALD

Knocking three Giant Pitchers for
twenty-six hits, while Hilton Smith,
mound star, permitted seven,
the score stood at 18 to 5. A crowd of |
1900 witnessed the game which was
rare entertainment despite Manager
Saperstein's long distance bungling.
Much credit for the success of the
program is due Dick Hackenberg,
sports scribe for the Minneapolis Star,
who took the bull by the horns when
it was evident there might be possible
failure in affairs going smoothly.
At four o'clock p. m. Tuesday after
noon, no one at Lexington Park knew
when to open the gates, how much to
charge, what time the players were
due on the field, or who had tickets,
if any.
Learning of this, Mr.. Hackenberg
got busy, ironed out as many difficult
ties as possible, Gust for the sake of
the game"

Mr.. Freed's "Pastorales" are a de-
lightful group of short numbers en-
titled The Bells" The Mill" The
Hidden Brook" The Country Cart
THE Shepherds Pipe" "At the
Fair" Grey Skies" and The Coun-
try Revel." The moods of these little
vignettes are varied and, taken to-

ber of distinctive character. When
Mr.. Freed undertakes to give mu-
sical impression of what requires
not only delicate touch but a rare
sympathetic feeling. he reaches the
greatest height. Thus. in depicting
The Hidden Brook" "The Mill" or
Grey Skies" he does so with poetic

More Expansive Range.
However. the preceding numbers
OF the program, interesting as they
were when heard, gave way before
the glorious "Symphony in c Major"
by Schubert with which the con-
cert concluded. 1t would seem that
IN this symphony written in the last
year of the composers life, he
gathered together all his powers of
the past and those of a future that
was not to be, and in one mighty
work, left them to posterity. To
his great melodic gift, he brought
a deeper color, more expansive
range and more profound mean
ing, combining them in last effort.
Were anything needed to make the
early passing of this genius an
eternal loss to the world, it would
be what he says in this last SYM
phony.
There is no deep sadness here nor
premonition of his end, but through
the finely woven melodies runs a
sentiment that has now special
meaning. This master, who could
jot down priceless bit of compo-
sition in few minutes, worked long
and arduously on this symphony,
giving all his creative and mental
powers to its perfecting. 1t made
a fitting climax to yesterdays pro-
gram and the orchestra gave it a
sincere if not warmly inspired per-
formance. Yesterdays audience, not
as large as usual, gave rapt atten-
ton to each movement until the
last notes of the majestic finale
allowed the waiting applause to
break forth.

Tribute Paid
Stradivari
AtCOncert


established last year, the passing
of Antonio Stradivari on December
IL, 1913, was commemorated for the
second time last evening at the
Library of Congress. under the aus
plceS of the Gertrude Clarke Whit
tall Foundation. upon which occa-
sion all the five famous instruments
from that masters hand were heard.
1t is not often that one has an
opportunity to hear compositions
written for three violins. viola and
vloloncello. This unusual combina-
ton, together with duet for violin
and viola, were additional features
of the concert in which the instru-
ments occupied the center of atten-
ton, as is usual in this series. These
treasures OF art can be looked upon
already as means which point ways
to greater artistic endeavors, taken
together with the personal care of
the donor in the matter of making
up the program.
Excellent Ensemble.
1t was quite a revelation to hear
the tonal quality of the Ward" as
played by David Sackson in the
Duo K. v. 424,' by Mozart, with
William Lincer, who supplied the
rich background on the viola, since
neither of the two has had an op-
portunity to bring out the natural
quality of his instruments when
playing quartet. Mr.. Saxon has a
warm, sympathetic tone of carrying
power, while Mr.. Lincer's manner
Of handling his bow makes for
sorority. Both artists, in excellent
ensemble, gave most enjoyable
reading Of the duet, one of the two
which Mozart wrote as token Of
affection for Michel Haydn, elder
brother of Joseph. The Jacques
Gordon group was at its best in
the two works in which the third
violin participated. Mr.. Wishnov

occasions.
The first number on the program,
Quintet in E Flat Major, No. T." by
Johann Christian Bach, introduced
London" Bach, youngest son of
the great Johann Sebastian, who
left his native country at the age
of 20 to study in Milan and become
famous later in England. It is said
that his music exerted an influence
upon Mozart, and having the works
by these composers follow one an
other on the program one could but
feel that there Is similarity Of
style.
Earlier Composition.
Charles Martin Loehler's "Quin-
tet in one movement" for the same
combination of instruments, which
closed the program, was written in
1895 and belongs to his earlier COM
positions. This work does not show
the originality which marked Loef-
fler's later inspirations. From his
treatment of the stringed instru-
ments one may guess his familiarity
with them, for the violin was once
his profession. The composition
was written under the influence of
the Southern Russian folklore, of
which he made an extensive study
and had an opportunity to assimi-
late while living in Russia.
The Quartet in c minor, op 81,
No. l." by Brahms, was the least
successful presentation Of the pro-
gram from the point Of volume and
tonal color. The 'Mezzo-voce," ap-
piled in all the four movements
without relief, robbed the compost
ton of the vitality for which
Brahms is noted. However, the
artists were heartily applauded and
recalled after that number espe-
cially, and had to bow acknowledg-
ment several times. Z. de 8.
