a ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, MONDAY. DECEMBER 26, 1910. 9 CONCERT PROVES POPULAR Two Thousand Persons Hear Antinarelli's Band. FAMILY PARTIES THE RULE Second of People's Concerts in Convention Hall Draws Unexpectedly Large Crowd to Hear Italian Musicians That yesterday was not entirely a Christmas" for Rochester folk is shown by the fact that some 2,000 of them left their family firesides for a part of the afternoon to bear the second of the Sunday afternoon concerts at Convention Hall, by Antinarelli's Band. Mayor Edgerton, originator and executor of the plan, was pleasantly surprised at the unexpected crowd, and predicts great things for future concerts.

Although the music was chiefly of the classical order it was fully appreciated, and the applause was frequent and unstinted. Practically same classes were represented in the audience as those of the previous Sunday, with possibly a greater number of young people and children. It is rapidly becoming the custom for entire families to attend these concerts, A custom that is encouraged in every way possible by Mayor Edgerton and others interested as it is hoped to make the musical affairs as popular as the literary programmes at the People's Sunday Evening. For lovers of good music who are unable to take advantage of many opportunities offered during the week to gratify their tastes the concerts are a welcome treat, and in 8 great measure take the place of the Park Band concerts during the summer, There is a conspicuous absence of the disturbing element in the big audiences that greatly enhances charm of the whole affair. Children unaccompanied by parents or older persons are religjously sorted out from the of humanity that flows through stream.

doors during the hour before the opening number is begun, so that there is no conversation, no noise, nor anything to distract the attention of those who are truly desirous of enjoying the music to the fullest extent. Although it is one of the most stringent rules that no children are to be perenter, even the ease-hardened doorkeepers are sometimes unable to resist the appeal of a wistful face and a timid request for admittance. Such a case was noticed yesterday, and the true spirit of Christmastide and its abounding charity proved more powerful than mere red tape, as it should under the circumstances. Two youngsters, who were possibly 10 years old and who looked about twothirds of it, made their appearance on the scene early in the afternoon, and as 5000 88 the crowd began to file in edged cautiously up toward the entrance as fearful that the next step might call down upon them the wrath of the bluecoat who stood between them and happiness. Finally the more independent of the two plucked up sufficient courage to accost benevolent-looking old man in top hat and fur coat and a kindly air that bespoke his state of entire peace and satisfaction with the world.

"Take me in, mister," was the ventured appeal. The person to whom the request was addressed stopped and stared amazed at the diminutive urchin. Finally a twinkle stole in behind the gold-rimmed glasses and what was undoubtedly meant for a smile passed over his fine features. With a shame-faced look at a little group which had halted to watch for the close of the incident, he grasped his questioner by the hand and led the way into the lobby, apparently over-awing the minions of the law by his calm assurance. Instead of separating as soon as the threshold was passed, the companions, and both seemed to be enjoying the whole affair immensely, threaded their way through the crowd to the inner door, and thence to a seat in the center of the hall.

Oblivious to surprised and amused giances from nearby seats and whispered comments upon the queer appearance of the two, they struck 8 better a0- quaintance, and were soon holding an animated conversation, Woman Rendered Unconscious. Mrs. Myra Willis, 27 years old, of No. 35 Joiner street, was thrown from a car at Main and streets early morning painfully injured. She North, struck the pavement with so much force that she was rendered unconscious.

She was removed to the Homeopathic Hospital. where it was found that IL.O bones were broken. She did not regain consetousness for a couple of hours after reaching the hospital. Mrs. Willis, who was with her sister, WaS on her way home, and had boarded the wrong car at North street at the time she was burt.

started to leave the car, when it She started up and threw her to the pavement, Put Italian Out of Business. When Patrolman Major met Matthew Belfetto, An Italian, who is said to have no home, the man was inclined to question the right of the policeman to Inquire whither he was bound. Belfetto was in Hartford street, and was much the worse for liquor. When Major undertook to take him into custody he attacked the officer. He fought like a madman.

and the policehad to use his club. Belfetto went to man headquarters for temporary repairs. He 1s charged with intoxication. Labor Lyceum Meeting. Word is given out that the members of the Labor Lyceum that meets to the Commun Council chamber, will make a special effort to have one of the largest meetings of the year Sunday afternoon, when Rabbi Wollf, next, give an address on the subject.

"Why I Am Not a Socialist?" Because of the difficulty of securing 8 speaker for Christmas Day, an informal session was held yesterday devoted to 4 question box, and the discussion of topics brought up by the members. Offering for Missionary Pastor. At the Central Presbyterian Church, the offering yesterday forenoon was for the support of, Rer. Judson Underwood, one of the church's missionary pastors, and it amounted to several hundred dollars, Mr. Underwood is one of four missionaries whom this church maintains, besides a medical missionary in the Philippines.

Two collections, one at Easter and the other RE Christmas, generally supply the amount needed for Mr. Underwood's salary. CHRISTMAS CUSTOM IS REVIVED Park Band Serenades Commissioners After Fashion Popular in Old England. And after that they went out in a band, Dancing about the field at an easy pace And singing, as it were, in carol-wise. -Chaucer.

Dwellers in the districts inhabited by members of the Park Board were favored early yesterday morning, since it falls to the lot of few in Rochester to open, ox tile Christinas Day and to the music but newer, not sweeter, modern airs. Through the courtesy of Theodore Dossenbach and the Park Band, a bit of old England was brought into the life of the busy city, and the ancient custom of Yuletide serenading was revived for a few short hours. Following plan carried out for the first time last year ani then op a much sunaller strong, scale, tine sought out city's the homes musicians, of a number of city officials and those whose interest in civic affairs has been most pronounced, journeying abont in an old-fashioned sleigh bung with jing ling bells and holiday greens. Disembarking at various stopping places, they gathered 01 verandes 4 sidewalks and played or sang some cf the melodies which have gained enduring popularity through the usage of years. "Holy Night," Bach's "Are "Sweet and Low," and The Rosary," were the favorite airs, and they were played with an effect that would be impossible under any condi- FORTY FUNMAKERS IN COMING INDOOR CIRCUS All of Experience in Big Aggregations.

JACK HARRIS. Jack Harin is one of the forty famous clowns which are with the Royal Adams two-ring circus, hippodrome and Wild West that will be at the State Armory all next week under the direction of Damascus Temple, Mystic Shrine. No greater aggregation of stellar fuumakers of the pantomimic variety were ever brought together, it is said. For instance, there is Dick Ford, who for sereral years has been the chief clown of the Barnum and Bailey circus, and there is "Ab" Johnson, principal clown for the Forpaugh-Sells circus. Jack Harris, Nemo, "Flatiron" Wirth, Harry Wentworth and others, all of then top-notchers in thei particular line of work.

Rochester is expecting much of the circus and doubtless will get all that is expected, judging from the reports from other cities where the circus has been. With a list of performers such as the Royal Adams circue carries, the show cannot help but be a success. The proprietors, Rhoda Royal and Tom H. Adams, have covered the earth in their search for the best. tions but those engendered by the crisp stillness of the winter night.

All of the pleasing cadence and soft rhythm was brought out in a way that is foreign to the ordinary open-air concert. Among the favored ones were Mayor Hiram d1. Lalgerton, George W. Aldridge, Bishop Thomas F. Hickey, Edward Bausch, Hiram W.

ter B. Duffy, and Park Commissioners Charles F. Ford. William S. Ailey, Robert E.

Badger, Jeremiah Hickey, Frank J. Newell. Several of the band members who were not in the party were also visited. In nearly every case the usual procedure of speech and refreshments was followed, and the honor was not unappreciated. As the first notes of "Holy Night," used in most cases as an opening selection, penetrated through the immediate neighboribod, windows and doors were opeued, twinkling lights appeared 01 every hand, and points of vantage were soon filled by delighted listeners.

Bursts of bandelapping greeted every finale, increasing as the intelligence spread, and interested groups in hurriedly -arranged costumes congregated about the players. The tour was finished shortly after 2 A. M. yesterday morning. and the evident appreciation with which their efforts were received make it certain that the members of the band will not fail to keep up the custom so auspiciously begun.

ROCHESTER MAENERCHOR'S WAY Merry Christmas Given to Children Bursts of Song. The Rochester Maennerchor had an enjoyable celebration of Christmas yesterday at its hendquarters at Main street east and Swan street. The rooms were filled to overflowing with the children of the members, who ran riot through the big halls and found no one brave enough to check their merriment. Among the chief fun makers during the were President Schlenker, Edward Paeltz and William evening, Weis. The children sprung a surprise on the members of the Maennerchor, with the assistance of President Schlenker, by turning down the trained singers of the society and furnishing the programme.

They made a very creditable showing. The Christmas song by three sons of Jacob Thomy was given hearty applause. Herbert Zahn gave a piano solo, and there were soprano solos by Emma and Johanna Langefelt. Then Charles Vou Rohr recited a poem about Santa Claus President Schlenker congratulated the society on its success. and urged redoubled efforts to make it foremost among the German speaking people of the city and first among the prominent societies looking for the progress of Rochester.

Then there was an attack on the tree we which could not be stemmed by oratory, and in a few minutes the side-songs of the chorus were drowned by the exclamations of the delighted children. FIREMEN HAVE TWO USELESS RUNS Called to Look After Steam That Looked Like Smoke. Steam that was caused by the drying out process in use at the new postoffice building at Hayward avenue and North Goodman street induced some persons to suspect that a fire was in progress within. A still alarm was telephoned Hose Company 9. The company, went to the building, and found the only fire within was inside the beating apparatus.

Some one saw steam ascending from the roof of the house of Mrs. Ida Raab, No. 94 Earl street, yesterday afternoon, and an alarm was telephoned to Are headquarters. Acting Battalion Chief Moran and three companies of firemen bad barely started for Earl street when an alarm was turned in from box 183. Two more compaules responded.

The alarms were found to have been nunecessary, the steam 01l the roof having been caused by heat from a steam pipe in the house. The famIly was absent at the time, and it was necessary to break a window to force an entrance to the house. Meeting of Federated Clubs. The City Federation of Women's Clubs will hold its December meeting at No. 14 School Wednesday at 3 P.

M. The meeting will be in charge of the Mothers' Clubs. All members of the federation are asked to attend the Tuesday morning session of the State Teachers' Association at East High School, when Dr. Henry Goddard, of Vineland, N. will speak on "The Deficient Belt Line Must Get Consents of Common Council and Park Board for Its Proposed Route Persons residng in the Tenth ward, are alarmed over the possibility that the proposed belt line will cut through the the maps filed with City Engineer Fisher show that it will.

A meeting will be held Friday night of this week at No. 7 School, called by Alderman Fisher, for the purpose of discussing the matter and drafting resolutions to be presented 10 Counsel Webb asking him Corporation to take remedial action. As pointed out by the city Law Deit will be a very difficult matpartment ter for a belt line to become established around the city. It cannot touch the city at any point without obtaining permission from the proper municipal anthorities, and it is a very safe predictiou make that the road will not be alto lowed to enter any of the city parks. The city charter gives the Common Council power to grant all rights of franchises to use the streets, highways and public places or any part thereof, or the space above or underneath them, for whatever, upon such terms any purpose and conditions AS it deems proper.

An ordinance authorizing only such fran chise must be passed by a vote of threefourths of all the members of the Common Council, and must provide for disposition of the sanie at public auction to the highest bidder, under proper regulations for the protection of the city, and after public notice to be published once each week for three weeks in the oticial p- pers: which sale must be the Board of Estimate and went before it takes effect. FINAL ACTION ON ST. PAUL STREET Pavement Ordinance Up To-morrow Night. TRAFFIC AMENDMENTS ALSO Held Over to See Whether There Were Objections to Provision Requiring Lights on All Vehicles. No Report on Sunday Baseball For the last regular meeting of the Coinmon Counell for 1910 there is very little business scheduled, although there 18 always the possibility of something arising to make the session interestlug.

No committee meetings have been called to be held prior to the session to-morrow night, so the chances are that there will be no re port on the ordinance of Alderman Gerling with reference to Sunday baseball in the pares. Final action will be taken, it is expected, 0U the ordinance 1 for the Improvement of Si. Paul street from Lowell street to DrirIn Park avenue. At the request of Alderman Martens, of the Fifth ward, action was postponed at the last meeting until to-morrow night, 1 as he wished to have a meeting of the property owners interested in the meantime. This meeting has been beld and fL majority opinion favored the new pavement, but was against a new sewer.

It is proposed to pave the street with ASphalt, with Median block between the tracks of the street railway. The tracks are to be removed from the side of the road ard placed in the middle. The estimated cont of the improvement is about $95,000, of which $41.000 is to be assessed upon the abutting property owners, $5,650 on the city at large and the remainder upon the special franchise of the New York State Railways, Rochester Lines. It was originproposed to have brick between the ear tricks, but the property owners voted In favor of Medina block, and the ordinauce will be changed in accordance with their wishes. P'inal action will also be taken on the amendments to the trattle ordinance.

These amendments provide for a 30-minute 8 stop of vehicles in Main street, except between the hours of 5 and 6:30 P. and eliminatIng Clinton avenue south from the congestea district. The part of the ordinance that caused postponement was that which requires all vehicles of every description to carry lights In front and rear at night. Alderman Beard, of the Eighth ward, requested that action be deferred until he learned the sentiment of his constituents. and the whole ordinance was put over.

The alderman said last week that he had not learned of any valid objections, so the ordinance will doubtless adopted. Final action will be taken on the following ordinances, on which allegations will be called for: North Goodwan and Circle streets asphalt pavement, University avenue to Main street east, estimated cost opening and exteusion of Wilkins street, Reservoir avenue sewer, $570; North Water street, confirmation of assessment roll; SHOW cleaning in several streets and the general sprinkling ordinance for 1911. FIREMEN RECEIVE GIFTS Many Persons Remember Comi panies at Christmas Time. Many of the Are companies of the city were remembered by friends, who realizing the tirelessness of the watch kept by these mneu over the property of Rochester citizens, considered it 11 pleasure to remeber the meu at Christmas time.

Main and State Streets If the residents of the Tenth ward toke a stand against the belt line, A1- derman Fisher will oppose the granting of a franchise by the Common Council, and the chances are that he will carry his point. It the road amends its route so as not to touch the city proper, it cannot get around the very well without entering Genesee Valley, Maple wood and Senect parks. Section 305 of the city charter provides on this point: "No railroad may be laid in, upon, over or through the public parks or Aquares of the city except with the consent of the Park Commission and upon such terms and conditions as it may prescribe: such consent, terms and conditions to be approved by the mayor before becoming effective." Several members of the Park oard have declared that they would not stand for the desecration of any of the parks by a railroad; in fact, the sentiment in the board would probably be unanimous on this point.

The belt line's application is now before the Public Service Commission. No one outside of the commission can speak with authority, of course, ay to the atti-1 tude of that board, but it is poluted out that the commission is opposed to grade crossings by steam and the belt line contemplates a large mimber of such crossings.
