By Alice Eversmon

Jan Peerce's song recital in Con-
stitution Hall last night was one
Of those enjoyable affairs that stand
out occasionally in a concert season.
There was nothing to do but sit
back and listen, for the entire pro-
gram was so finely delivered that
each number brought its quota OF
pleasure. The Metropolitan Opera
tenor had a splendid accompanist
in Warner Bass, who is gifted with
the special adaptability and sym
pathetic feeling that singers need
to complete the full projection OF
the mood of a song. He not only
set the frame but sustained ana
matched the artist with a wealth
of detail in his playing. The con.
cert was part of the c. G. cappei
series.
Some of the former ring was
wanting in Mr.. Peerce's voice and
on occasion, effort was noticeable
in the production. But this did not
interfere with the Arm. steady
breath control that so beautifully
sustained the polished line In Han

the classic school and with his cleal

quired.

from Puccini's '"Tosca" and the
"Vesti 10 giubba" from "Pagliacci.
Spinning his tones with fervor while
reaching his climaxes with the big
effects peculiar to Italian tenors
whose voices Mr.. Peerces resembles
to a remarkable degree, he stirred
his listeners to excited applause
There we're other encores, the
waltz Song" from Strauss "The
Gypsy Baron" and Rossini,s La
Danza," during the program and
sung by request and many at the
close. While Mr.. Peerce's activities
have extended to the motion picture
and radio, he proved himself last
night as rare artist in the field of
song where intangible elements
count more than bravura.

Guiding foremen of the various

general rs percent increase for
their work; the molders, 13 cents
per hour on all day rates. and 10
percent on piece work rates; and
the polishers and buffers, "a
percent general increase.

the conduct of the other through
out.

COURT HOUSE CLOCK, NOW BEING
Original Clock Installed Atop Structure Jan. 3, 1891
ELECTRIFIED, READY SATURDAY

That was the promise of
Joseph Doff, Elmhurst, N. Y, of
the Interstate Tower Clock Serv-
ice Co., after he arrived here to-
day to begin repairing and cleo
trifying the old clock.
Doff explained that he took
most of the works of the clock
with him to Elmhurst, and these
parts have been repaired.
The original clock, which was
actuated by weights of 1000 and
1900 pounds, was installed atop
the Court House on Jan. 3, 1891. 1t
was built by old Seth Thomas
Clock Company of Tamaston,
Conn.
"The clock on top of City Hall
was also built about the same
time by the Thomas people"
Doff said today. ut, too, is run
by weights-and like the Court
House clock, is badly in nede of
repair"
Now a small motor will run
the Court House clock. The bell
will strike the hours of the day.
They will be actuated by mer-
curry tubes which turn on and
shut off the current running the
bells.
Doff's work on the clock will
cost the county $998.75. In addi-
ton Doff will install two clocks
to take the place of rented in
on the first and sec
ond floors of the Court House.
They will cost $3.50 each. They
will pay for themselves in
about two years at the rental
rate of them now in use.
