BRILLIANT Symphony Season Debut Stokovski Leaves a Most Favor- able Impression as Conductor. A Large Audience Applauds Cincinnati's Reorganized Orchestra, and the Finely Rendered Program. The first concert of the newly organised Clnolnnatl Symphony Orchestra, under the direction ot Leopold Stokovski, took place yesterday afternoon at Music Halt Th following program waa presented: Overture "Die Zauberfioete" Symphony in minor Overture "Der'FrelachueU-' Weber Siegfried Idyll J. Wagner Ride of the Valkyrie Wagner The large audience which gathered at Muslo Hall -yesterday cam to see as well a to hear. After two season of Inactivity th Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, revived and made Its reappearance, and for the first time under its new con ductor, Leopold Stokovski.

Curiosity was natural, for Cincinnati has not been In the habit of making frequent change lit' the men called upon to lead her symphonic When Leopold Stokovski, young and deb-onnaire, but earnest an) determined, stepped on the stage the orchestra gave him the welcome "rush." Most of those in front gasped. A young, tall, simple-looking fellow, with quiet mien, minus all the familiar affectations of the conventional "musician." took his place at the stand. He was an unexpected picture to most everybody. But before the program was half over there waa not one In tbe audience but wa captivated by his personality, delighted with the graceful manner of his conducting and Immensely pleased with th musical acumen be fervently demonstrated. The Ice had been broken.

Stokovski had come and had conquered. The concert proved to be unusually inter esting from several points of view. The program itself showed good taste. Tbe or chestra presented a new appearance, and everywhere there was the subdued air of expectancy. But the unanimity of the verdict in general after the concert was over left no room for doubt.

There were differ ence of opinion expressed, to be sure, as to interpretations, but thai wa to expected, for the audience included many thorough and capable musicians. As to Btokovski's capabilities, however, there was not a word of doubt and everywhere the most enthusiastic praise. to begin with, the orchestra la a capable body of men. Many of the Important posi tions are filled by those who were with us In the last years of Mr.wVan der Stucken'j regime. Among the newcomers the prin cipal change are In the otoe and the French horn.

The first oboe has a clean. healthy and vibrant tone, though not overly large, while the horns, a a choir, are probably the least satisfactory of the entire orchestra. Tbe strings, especially the first violins, with Hugo Heermann as ooncert- meister, are excellent, technically well equipped and full of enthusiasm. The woed section Is particularly good, and. while the brass showed some blatancy enore than waa necessary, though it is almost lmpos-poslbie to entirely eliminate this feature It waa In a measure due to th prominence given thjp.one by their raised position.

Con sidering tsie fact that the orchestra was gathered from the four winds, most of them new to one another, and all of them unfamiliar with the conductor's method, it little short of marvelous that tnere was uch good balance and so few rough places. Subsequent concerts will Improve this still more, and it Is safe to say that the or-ohestra will eventuate Into the best Cincinnati has had. The program offered a fair opportunity to gauge Mr. Stokovski' musicians hi p. Above all.

he ha originality and directness of purpose. He has a sure grip on his men. a healthy sentiment, a keen sense ot delicacy and while there were no overpowering climaxes reached there was an, indication of a sufficient amount of reserve strength. The important offering of tbe program was naturally the C-mlnor symphony. This Stokovski began in a manner which Immediately evoked discussion.

Those ominous raps of fat were taken with scarcely any pause, giving the impression that the first five bars were one theme. Instead of the more generally accepted Interpretation that of reiteration of the first two. As a result. there was a rythmic outline that was seemingly uncertain and gave a different character to the Introductory theme. Throughout the entire first movement the tempo was considerably slower than we have been accustomed to hear, and.

as a whole, than is most thoroughly expressive of the move ment's character. Tbe second movement, the familiar andante, was the best rendered of the entire symphony, gracefully flowing, replete with pianissimo effects and devoid of all sentimentality. The scherso was also rather slow, but the finale wa taken with a verve and dash and, while lacking somewhat in sonority and triumphant exuberance, nevertheless mounted to a fine and impressive climax. It was an Interesting performance of the work, one which thoroughly established Stokovski as a conductor with Ida and absolutely capable of realizing them in his orchestra. There were many beautiful con traets pianissimo which.

In spite of Music Hall's vast area, were plainly audible, as well as effectively graded climaxes. The opening overture. Mosart's "Maglo Flute." was finely played, and the "Frel-schuets" overture, all in ail, was the best performance of the afternoon. The "Sieg fried Idyll," a dangerous composition and at best not the roost inspired of the composer's efforts, was delicate done and particularly well played by the orchestra. This sustained the interest, though the point of dragging was dangerously approached.

The "Walkuerenritt," once the position of this excerpt on any concert program is condoned, afforded a stirring and brilliant close. A most cordial reception was tendered lbe young conductor, one of sincere appreciation and best meaning, which he gracefully shared with his men. To-night the sams program will be repeated. The Audience. It is not often that an audience as large a that which assembled yesterday in Music Hall to welcome the new Symphony Or chestra ana its enthusiastic young leader is stilled into a silence so sympathetic that not even a rustling program or a restless cough marred the perfect harmony between orchestra ana suaience.

Mr. Btokovski's entrance was the signal for an ovation which was -repeated after the svmnhonv when he was enthusiastically recalled and very gracefully inciuaea nis men of the orchestra In the honors oi the applause A welcome innovation was introduced In an intermission after the symphony, long enough to enable the audience to take a turn in foyer, greet their friends In different parts ot the house and be refreshed for the second half of the program. The boxes were wen niled with enthusiasts. Mrs. C.

R. Holmes, the presi dent of the association; who arrived from New York yesterday morning, to whom is due much of the successful reorganisation of the orchestra, had with her Mrs. Frank Kemper and her two little giris. Miss Mary ana miss Harrtette Kemper. In Mr.

Charles P. Taft's box there was a family group, Mr. and Mrs. Taft and Miss Louise Taft making up tne party. Mr.

and Mrs. Julius Flstachmann are still In New York, but In Mrs. Charles Fleischmann's box there were Mrs. Max Flelschmann and Mrs. Harries, of Canada.

POLITICAL GOSSIP. The election of the Duckworth Club takes place from 4 to p. m. to-day. While there are two tickets in the field, the -names are, with five exceptions, Vie same on both.

Rumors of a third ticket, to arouse more interest and bring out the membership, may be verified to-day, Although there was no evidence of any fur ther opposition last night. An interview fn Washington with Attor ney Albert Bettinger brings out the name of Judge Rufus B. Smith as an available Republican candidate for Governor. Local politicians regard the suggestion of Judge Smith as a bit of comedy in view of the fact that the Judge has been out of line with the regular organisation of his party for more than 10 years. It is even said that he has voted against tbe Republican candidates for President in the last three campaigns.

At all events, he has supported either the Independent or Democratic city tickets sine 1887. Ho made a speech for Peck at Muslo Hall the Friday night before the election. In which he waa very bttter against the controlling element of the Re publican party. Mr. Bettinger, who pro posed the name of Judge Smith for Governor, is a very prominent insurgent, and also supported the Democratic local ticket.

Two years ago he was the candidate for Vice Mayor of the City party. Several years ago Judge Smith made a statement that he would never be a candidate again for a public office, and all efforts to induce him to change bis mind have been without avail. He is now In Chicago, and could not be seen yesterday In regard to hU running for Oovernor. Mr, George B. Cox, when asked what he thought of Jbdge Smith a th man to lead th party next, year, declined to express himself.

It is well known that Mr. Cox and Judge Smith are not friends, and it is doubtful If a regular Republican could be found In the city who would support his candidacy. Peo ple generally regard Judge Smith as a Democrat, but be has not seen fit to disclose Just where he stands on national Issue, sxcept that ha has always teen an intense anti-imperialist, and was against the Administration on the Philippine question. Rival tickets in the Stamina Republican League election will be announced in the meeting at the rooms in the Bur-cat Hoxise to-night The club will not convene untii after the polls at the Blaine Club election have closed at 9 o'clock. Dr.

A. L. Zwick wul deliver a lecture on some subject connected with tbe public health. City Engineer J. H.

Bundraaker Is a candidate for Director of the Blaine Club on the Blue ticket, but his friends and close th third, fourth and fifth bar are a ortaoclate hT" "ot permitted him to mske campaign. They have taken the fight entirely out ot his hands: have had his cards printed; have had buttons made bearing his picture, and have distributed blue ribbons bearing his nam In gilt letters. They will work at the Blaine Club all afternoon to-day "getting out the vote for Bund-maker." The members of his office force have formed themselves into a committee which will have charge of the affair today. The committee consists of tbe following: E. H.

Anthony, Matt faevl. Eugene Schelllnger, Oscar Klayer and George Hartman. The annual election of the Young Men's Blaine Club will be held to-day, and, more than 2.500 members are expected to cast their ballots at the clubhouse on Eighth street between the hours of 3 and 9 p. m. In-addition to the annual election, the club will celebrate its silver anniversary.

A handsome souvenir poster was issued yesterday to the members. poster contains a copy of the original application for a -charter that waa made September IX 18S4. during th campaign of James G. Blaine for th Presidency. A neat badge was sent to every member yesterday, to be worn at the festivities to-day.

The Board of Directors will meet at noon and act on the applications of more than 200 new members. This Is the largest number of members that have been admitted at any one time since the club was organised. The quarters of the club are In gala attire for the election to-day and an elaborate electrical display has been arranged for the evening. Tbe election fight will center on the candidates for Vice Presidents and for membership on the Board of Directors. The candidates for the other offices have no opposition.

Five Vice Pres. ldents are to be chosen from 10 candidates and 14 Directors from 28 candidates. Some elaborate changes ace being considered by prominent members, and it is probable that there will be a meeting of the club in the near future. Among other things larger and better quarters are proposed. The club now has nearly J.000 members and more than $20,000 in the treasury.

Bonds could be easily disposed of that would enable the club to erect a handsome building. The present quarters are leased, but the club has tbe privilege of purchase at any time. It is also proposed to revive th old custom of keeping open house on New-Year's Day and providing a luncheon and refreshments tor members who call at the clubhouse during th day. It la pointed out that the large room which has been erected in the yard for the purpose of providing a voting place could be used for the George Williams.

NEWS OF THE COURTS.

Mrs. Amslla Boldt and her husband. Charles Boldt, President" of the Charles Boldt Glass Company, were before Judge Warner, in the Insolvency Court yesterday, trying to have their alimony matter set tled. Ttfe. papers ln the case were still la the possession of Attorney Francis B.

James, who represents Boldt, and who took them from the flies Immediately after -he alimony auit was filed, in an effort to suppress th case. These papers, the petition and answer, were not replaced on the files yesterday, but were carried away again by Attorney Jamee. A request was made of Judge Warner to have the hearing chambers, but the Court refused, and the couple, with their attorneys. Attorney C. W.

Baker, representing the wife, crowded close to the Judge desk and in low tones the case was presented, i It was stated that tbe facts had been agreed upon and admitted, end tne only question which the Court would have to decide would be the amount of alimony to, be paid. Attorney Baker stated that his client would not consider a lump sum. as she had no dealre to be bothered with the Invest ment of any money, and he considered tnat $100 per week and the home on Madiapn road, Hyde Park, with all its appurte nances, would be about the right amount for her. Boldt declared emphatically that ha would not "stand for" such an amount, lie declaring that s73 a week was as much as h.a wit had ever had while they. were living together.

To thl Attorney Baker replied that Mrs. Boldt should not be bound by the amount which he had restricted her to heretofore. Then Boldt presented a statement as to hit financial condition. This statement showed that draws $9,000 a year as President of the Boldt Glass Company; has assets of $166,000, and liabilities of making his net assets 140,000. From these assets he receives $4,800 a year on bis common stock, $360 a year on his preferred stock, $380 a year on his First National Bank stock and $100 on bis Delaware Bank stock, making a total ot $3,680 a ysar.

He admitted a gross income of $14,680, out against this be declared must pay $500 a year taxes, 9500 a year ground rent and $1,217 50 Interest on his loans, a total of $217 50, which would leave his net income $12,482 50. Besides this It was stated that Boldt has other debts he has to pay. and when Attorney Baker demanded to 'know what debts these were Boldt demanded. "You want to know what I do with ay money, do youT Well, I can show what the madam has spent. "Oh.

you canT" retorted Baker. "Well, If you want. I can show where the money went, and where it goes. I have some documents here which will show wbsre tho money went, if you want to start something." Boldt subsided and plainly showed that he did not car to 'start something." Attorney James then suggested that 950 a week and a house, other than the Madison road residence, should be furnished Mrs. Boldt, but Boldt objected to this, declaring that 92.100 a year and no house was about what he considered right.

Finally Attorney James and Mr. Boldt held a consultation, and it was then announced that Boldt was willing to give his wife 92.080 a year for alimony, and 9600 a year for a house. This was laughed at by Mr. Baker, but the case was ubmltted on the figures presented by both sides. Mrs Boldt had subpoenaed three witnesses, bat they were not needed.

They were Dr. H. W. Bettmaa and two colored servants. While the papers in the case were not filed yesterday, it was learned that the petition of Mrs, Boldt named Edith Campbell, or Edwards, as ahe Is known to the police.

She is th woman who had a diamond earring snatched from her ear as she was alighting from a cab in front of Williams' eat on Sixth street some months ago. Mrs. Boldt discovered her husband's friendliness for th Campbell woman, who I a strikingly handsome brunette, through overhearing a telephone message from the woman, Mrs. Boldt having had an extension' phone receiver to her ear whll the conversation waa on. A decree wa granted yesterday divorcing Frank R.

Stanley from Bertha Lee Stanley, to whom he was marled in Atlanta, in April, 1900. He told th Court that they lived together Just nine months, during which time his wit paid mora atten tion to other, men than to him. and she final ly left and never returned. Stanley Is a bookkeeper. Z.
