Members of the First Company, Thirteenth District Coast Artillery Corps, held their annual Christmas tree dance and entertainment at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory last evening.

pany's beadquarters was handsomely decorated with holly and other appropriate decorations. There were more than 300 present and the affair was said to be one of the most successful holiday tertainments in the history of the company. Musical Moments Such disappointment as the postponement of Wolf-Ferrari's opera "Le Donne Curiose" occasioned was in some ure compensated for last night at the Metropolitan Opera House by an excellent performance of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly," in which the only change from the familiar cast was the substitution of Mme. Mattfeld for Mme. Fornia in the role of Suzuki.

Miss Geraldine Farrar's Cio-Cio-San loses nothing from frequent repetition. It is said to be her favorite role. Certainly it is a favorite with her admirers, who think they know her limitations and do not want her to try to exceed them. Ricardo Martin's Pinkerton is another accepted type. The tenor brings to his interpretation of the part a fine voice, dramatic fire and the physical proportions necessary to make the uniform of the United States Navy look well on the stage.

Signor Scotti's superb Itone is always heard with pleasure when he sings as Sharpless. As usual 10 performances "Madama Butterfly," the orchestra was directed by Toscanini. At the close of the opera the Russian dancers, headed by Mordkin, were seen In a number their specialties. Tonight "'The Girl of the Golden will be given. The Victor Record Catalogue for January announces thre new records by Amato, the famous baritone of the Metropolitan Opera House--the from "Toreador Song' from and "Iago's Creed" from "Othello." There are also new numbere hy Alma Gluck, Frances Alda, Edmond Clement.

Charles Dalmores, Herbert Witherspoon and Emilio de Gogorza. There are also some new Chopin records as played by Vladimir de Pachmann, and Maud Powell and Boris Hambourg are also music added in the list. In the there are new records by Christie Macdonald, the Victor Military Band, besides some sacred music, yodel songs and comic sketches. One of the most important features of the mid-winter musical season in Brooklyn will be the third orchestral concert of the New York Philharmonic Society, at the Academy of Muste, Sunday afternoon, January 28, 1912, with Mme. Lillian Nordica as soloist.

America has produced singers of note, but none who has refleeted greater luster on her native land. Mme. Nordica's triumphs in concert, and in the leading opera houses of Europe, through many years, have established a record of remarkable artistic achievements-a career which has stimulated countless students, and has a exerted en an invaluable influence in the advancement of American art. The Kneisel String Quartet is to give its first concert of the New Year in the music hall of the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Thursday evening, January 4. and will be assisted by Miss Edith Thompson, piano.

Those who attended the two preceding concerts this season by the Kneisels recognized not only the supreme artistic value of their work, but also the fact that the programmes, especially the last one, was brilliant and enjoyable. The programme for next Thursday evening is also very attractive and is as follows: Schumann, "Quartet in A major," op. 41, No. Mendelssohn, "Variations Concertantes for Violoncello and Piano'; Claude Debussy, two movements from the "Quartet in Cesar Franck, "Quintet in minor," for pianoforte, two violins, viola and violoncello.

Then came the death of the bride's father, George Albert Allin, one of the leaders of the Baptist denomination in Brooklyn and for forty years a member of the Strong Place Baptist Church.

This occurred early in February and brought uncertainty as to when the wedding of Mr. Weber and Miss Allin would take place. In October Mira.

When that day arrived, however, Miss Allin's illness was at its crisis and marriage was out of the question. Mr.

Allin stated that the wedding will take place on January 16. Instead of being in the Strong Place Baptist Church, however, the ceremony will be performed at the Allin home. The Rev. Dr. A.

Washington, December 29-The crippled torpedo boat destroyer Warrington, which was run down off Hatteras in a gale on Wednesday night, by an unknown ship, was safely towed into Hampton Roads at 2:30 o'clock this morning by the revenue cutter Onondaga, which also brought the destroyer's crew.

Wireless dispatches at revenue cutter headquarters a.m. anreceived, nounced the Warrington's safe arrival. The identity of the ship that ran the Warrington down is still a mystery. The revenue cutter Itasca is cruising off Diamond Shoals today searching for a vessel which was sighted by the liner Larimer, abandoned yesterday morning, and about sixten miles off the lightship. The derelict was a three-masted schooner with her full mast standing out of water with decks awash.

This may be the ship which rammed the Warrington. J. N. Stanley, chief gunner, and G. W.

Hounder, chief boatswain's mate of the destroyer. were not so seriously Injured a8 at first reported. Both men were thrown their when the ships crashed. All reported hammocks. well.

The Onondaga arrived at the scene of the accident about noon yesterday, finding the Warrington anchored and in no immediate danger. The torpedo boats Sterett, Perking, Pauiding and Drayton. which were coming up the coast bebind the Warrington, also were standing off. Fifty -six men were transferred to the Onondaga from the Warrington. The water, which had poured through Issures in the stern, was held in the after holds by bulkheads.

At the time of the accident the Warrington was eight or ten miles ahead of the other members of the torpedo fleet, half under and half out of the water, when the 45-mile gale swept the rough sea over the little vessels. Suddenly out of the darkness loomed the floundering schooner. Before the man on watch could swing the torpedo boat out of the schooner's course, the latter's nose rammed the Warrington. Then the schooner scudded off in the darkness before any of the men aroused by the shock could tell whether she was a two or four vessel. THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

Weingartner's Brilliant New Symphony--Kathleen Parlow in Beethoven Concerts. The of the New York Philharmonic Society at Carnegie Hall, Manhattan, last evening, was admirably arranged and beautifully executed--perhaps the playing took on especial spirit because Mr. Stransky, the conductor, had just closed a three years contract with the Philharmonic directors. The programme comprised Felix Weingartcer's "Symphony No. 3, in opus 49, this being the first performance in America of this composition by the Viennese musician; the Beethoven "Concerto for Violin in Major," opus 61, with Miss Kathleen Parlow soloist, and Carl Maria von Weber's wellknown overture to "Der Weingartner's Symphony is full of lite color.

It contains Beethoven- like passages as well as others more modern in spirit, noisier and more discordant. The composition grows steadily in interest ag it advances to an which reaches ringing climax, and follows this with delightful fourth move, a ment, "Allegro moderato, allegro vivace." This last movement concludes with a fascinating passage in waltz time. This characteristic Viennese touch proves a happy ending to a composition, the dominant quality of which is Joyousness. The Beethoven "Concerto" which followed was a treat. Miss Kathleen Parlow 'fully measured up to the very serious demands made on her.

And this was fortunate, for no amount of good work on the part of the orchestra could have covered up a hazy or uneven performance of the soloist. The first movement, "Allegro ma non had for Miss Parlow an amazingly difficult solo and she showed in it remarkable technical ekill, combined with a. full, clear tone and sureness of touch. Appealing in its melodious beauty was following "Larghetto." A rhythmic, lilting "Rondo" closed the "Concerto," delighting the ear with an interlacing of the theme by the violin with the orchestra work, which was not mere accompaniment, but an integral part of the composition. In this, the violinist displayed style, firmness and grace.

Hearty applause followed the playing of the and Miss Parlow was recalled several times. Von Weber's overture to "Der Freischuetz" was the last number. The orchestra, under the leadership of Josef Stransky, gave a beautiful interpretation of this deservedly popular overture. The playing was rich in contrasts, in careful shading and in artistic finish. A proof of the smaller number of instruments needed for "Der Freischuetz" than for the Weingartner Symphony was to be seen in the number of vacant places on the platform during the closing number.

PRICE-TRINLER. (Special to The Eagle.) Rutherford, N. December 29-Migs Wilhelmina Trinler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Trinler, was married last night to Robert D.
