THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1898. NEW BRITAIN NEWS. THE PHILHARMONICS. THEIR CONCERT LAST NIGHT A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS. It Was an Evening of Rare Enjoyment D.

A. R. Meeting Probate News Exciting Basketball Game Promised-Local Briefs. The twenty-second concert of the Philharmonic Society was given at South Church last evening under the most gratifying auspices and an audience which filled the church to the uttermost listened with much enjoyment to the rendition of one of the most artistic and striking programs ever given in this city. The work of the chorus, which had been so ably trained by Professor R.

P. Paine, was excellent and the soloists were in fine voice. At precisely 8:15 Professor Paine's baton fell and the opening strains of Rheinberger's classic ballad, "Clarice of Eberstein," began an evening of rare pleasure. A few weird, subdued chords upon the organ introduces the chorus, which was of great melodic beauty and was interpreted with much feeling and appreciation of the theme. As a whole the chorus appeared to excellent advantage, having fine volume and preserving excellent tempo during the opening number.

The tenors were 1 perhaps a trifle weak but it was not noticeable in general. The chorus works up towards the end into a triumphant burst of harmony, well sustained and yet with the voices carefully differentiated. A charming duet followed between "Clarice" and Mme. Rio and Mr. Moore, both artists, being new to local audiences.

Mme. Rio has a voice of rare sweetness and great power and her interpretation of the theme has seldom been surpassed in this city. Mr. Moore has an admirable tenor voice, exquisite technique and considerable range. After a chorus and solo by "Clarice," the audience was delighted by a solo by the "Spinning Witch" (Mrs.

Miller), whose charming volce and classic technique took the audience by storm. A feature of "Clarice" was the bridal song rendered by the ladies of the chorus, which for dainty melody was unsurpassed by any number of the evening. The closing chorus was also a striking number, leading up from a lyric melody of much beauty into a grand triumphant burst sustained harmony. The work of the chorus in this number and in the preceding one was much appreciated. The audience testified its appreciation by an outburst of applause.

To those Interested in classic music Schubert's unfinished symphony in minor is one of the most wonderful compositions ever written by the great composer. It contains but two movements, the allegro moderato and the andante con moto, the scherzo being unfinished and never played at pregent. The rendition of this classic composition by Messrs. Laubin and Hammond upon the piano and organ was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the evening. The passages of melodic loveliness changing by sudden and striking transition into wild and agitated harmonies and somber minor chords was Interpreted with fidelity, deep sympathy and exquisite appreciation of the composer's lofty poetic genius in this, his most original and daring work.

No more delicious harmony, no grander chords were ever listened to by those present. It was a study of artistic orchestral color. Mre. Miller followed with Buck's great composition, "Salve Regina," which gave her an admirable opportunity to display her charming vocalization, the rich full compass and sympathetic timbre of her delightful contralto voice. Her effort was warmly applauded.

Mme. Rio excelled her of the early morning by her splendid, rendition of Massenet's "Pleurez, Pleurez, mes yeux," from "Le Cid." It was a great effort by an accomplished artist and won merited applause. Mme. Rio's volce has a dramatic power which none of the other soloists could approach. W.

C. Hammond rendered three numbers upon the organ, Guilmant's charming prayer and cradle song, Saint Saens's caprice flat and the Schiller "Festival March" by Meyerbeer. The first number perhaps the best and was produced with a precision of touch, a splendid technique depth feeling which few organists in this country could equal. His Interpretation of the magnificent festival march was also a revelation of the powers of the South Church organ in the hands of master. The part song.

"Wynkn, Blynkn and Nod," a quaint little lullaby of Eugene Field, which has been set to equally quaint and delightful music by Ethelbert Nevin, was rendered by Mute. Rio, the chorus and piano (four hands). To many it was the most exquisite number of the evening. It is an obligato soprano solo with a rippling, daneing, fairy-like chorus as a background, full of a strange charm and beautiful as the poet's strange sweet fancy. Mme.

Rio's surpassing vocalization was never more noticeable than in this number, the melody rising above the chorus without an effort. Mr. Moore's group of three songs, consisting of Chadwick's "Nocturne," "Before the Dawn," and Boehm'9 "'Thine," were also admirably rendered. The closing number was Costa's "Damascus Triumphal March" for the chorus, piano and organ. Meeting of Daughters of Revolution.

When he went to the overseer for a bill of his time, it was refused him. He was advised that if he would go to the business office of the company he would in all probability get what was due him without any trouble.

He claimed to be a second hand in the weaving department at good pay and that there was over $15 due him. It was learned later that he found a lawyer who took up his case and got his money for him, about $4.50. Of course he had to pay the lawyer, and in the early evening he was hunting for a policeman to let him into the tramp quarters for a night's lodging.
