It had a notable cast and its dignity was maintained at all points by Mr.

Griswold, who was a commanding Wotan; by Mr. Jorn, with lyric delivery, as Siegmund, Mme. Gadski, as a most attractive SiegMr. Jorn, with lyric delivery, as Siegmund; by Mme. Gadski, as a most attractive Sieglinde; by Olive Fremstad, as Brunnhilde, who sang with Mr.

Griswold last act, the farewell, with touching patnos; Atted him for the part; and by Mme. Louise Homer, as a deep and rich-volced Fricka, It is sufficient comment to note that the Manhattan audience was 80 engrossed in the production that, contrary to too frequent occasions at an opera, there were very few who did not remain to see and hear the very last of the fire scene. The whole work was built up by the principals and by Mr. Hertz in the conductor's chair, from begining to climax, in masterly and artistic fashion. There were flowers for most of the principals, and many recalls.

Mr. Gatti-Casazza has reserved for the last Sunday night concert of the Metropolitan Opera season what he considers one of its most interesting features from the standpoint of musical art. It is the performance, in oratorio form, of Claudio Monteverdi's "Orfeo," the first work which can be regarded as an opera tocording to the present-day definition of the term. Monteverdi lived from 1567 to 1643. He was a native of Cremona, but became attached to the court of the Duke of Mantua.

It was on the occasion of the marriage of the Duke's son to Margherita of Savoy, that "Orfeo" was produced In 1607. The work has been arranged for modern orchestra by Professor Giacomo Orefice, of the Milan Conservatory, who has tried to preserve the "color" of the original instruments. To do so, he omits from the orchestra the oboes and bassoons. Interest in this epoch-making work was awakened by the Associazione Italiana di Amici della Musica, under whose auspices Professor Orefce's arrangement of the score has been published. The opera was produced last year at the International Exhibition at Rome.

Since then it has been given with great success in France and Germany, with versions of the text in the language of these countries. The English version to be sung on Sunday evening, was made expressly for the occasion by Charles Henry Meltzer. The opera will be conducted by Josef Pasternack. For the work of the chorus, Giulio Setti is responsible. The cast will be as follows: Eurydice Fornia Music, Sylvia, a Messenger Marie Duchene Proserpina, A Nymph Case Orpheus Hermann Well Pluto Witherspoon Charon Basyl Kuysdael A Shepherd Case Another Shepherd Henrietta Wakefleld Chorus of Shades, Nymphs and Shepherds.

Mme. Emmy Destinn and Pasquale Amato will take part in the miscellaneous programme which will precede "Orteo." The concert given by the London Symphony Society last night at Carnegie Hall, was before an over-crowded house. The numbers were familiar ones which Conductor Nikisch's men gave, and they showed superior breadth, poetio Anish, and matchless ginger. The latter term is particularly applicable to the magnificent third movement of the Tschalkowsky "Symphony arousing the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm was the result. This was the result again, at the close of the programme when a savage onslaught in the way of applause took place.

Mr. Nikisch was recalled again and again, and probably last night's was one of the greatest triumphs ever accorded to a musician in Carnegie Hall. Perhaps the most signal success of Nikisch's men was given with the "Waldweben," from "Siegfried," where the purity of the wood-wind instruments' tones was evinced and the lovely woodland spirit conveyed to the audience was heavenly. The "Prelude and Liebstod," from "Tristan and Isolde' was a number where the listeners fairly held their breath, as the tone poem was unfolded. It seemed not to be but inspiration.

The overture to "Die Meistersinger" was a glorious piece of color and feeling. It is in the absence of haste, in the perfection of ease, that the power of the London Symphony lies. There is nothing sensational, nothing sharp attack, though the men are always ready, on the instant, with a big elimax. This was shown in the Techaikowsky Symphony, where, after the rare melody in the second movement dies away, a strong entrance of another theme takes place. The perfect tone-quality in leading motives given by the horn and flute is another point where the London Symphony surpasses.

In the murmur produced by the vibration of the strings, in certain parts of the Tschalkowsky Symphony, where the double base carries a melody, felt rather than heard, the playof the part was nothing short of marvellous. so distinct, yet soft, was it. In the bringing down of tone to mere breath, the prehestra was also a marvel. The Tschalkowsky Symphony revealed itself as a creation fecund in idea, and masterly in structure. Perhaps Nikisch cannot give such a reading of it again, it was temperamental, and such readings do not always materialize twice.

The massing of tone is another strong point of the orchestra as well as the individualizing of it. The Egmont "Overture" was the first number played, and it was worthily given. A farewell matinee will be given by the orchestra on Monday afternoon, April 29. The success of the special matinee Our representative calls at home upon request. Lace Curtains.

Edward Y. Dimmick of Berea, commenced suit yesterday before Justice Pazek in the Supreme Court to compel the Western Union and the Southern Pacifc to transfer to him $20,000 worth of stock which he alleges was given him by Mrs. Mary Augusta Clark, formerly of 441 Fifty-eighth street, Brooklyn, five days before her death, on March 23, 1911. William J. Bolger, counsel for Seth C.

Clark, a second cousin, and administrator of the estate, was made a defendant in the suit. Mrs. Clark was the wife of William Haven Clark, who died few months ago. When Mr. Clark's wife died he told Bolger about the stock in relation to other matters of the estate.

When Bolger went to look for the stock, he alleges, it was not to be found. Dimmick was distantly related to Mrs. Clark and was visiting her when, he alleges, that the stock gift was made. Dimmick says that it is for the defendants to prove that he did not get the stock rightly. BIG TIME IN GREENPOINT.

Theater Employes Hold Annual Entertainment. performance of "Hansel and Gretel," by the Aborn English Grand Opera Company on Tuesday, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the large list of advance reservations for the second matinee I presentation of the same opera, this afternoon, have induced Milton and Sargent Aborn to arrange for repetitions of this work later in the season. The special cast and production for "Hansel and Gretel" will be presented, at matinees only, in each of the seven opera houses where the seven Aborn English Grand Opera companies are appearing this spring. This offering will go from: here to various big cities for two special matinee performances in each. Then it will be brought back for two more matinees at the Brooklyn Academy.

At the six evening performances and the regular Wednesday and Saturday matinees, this week, at the Academy, the Aborn forces 'are presenting Puccini's "Madam Butterfly." Next week they will give eight presentations of Massenet's "Thais," for which the complete cast and musicians will come here from Boston, while the present contingent will visit ether of the circuit. The third concert this season by the Chaminade Club will be given on Thursday, April 18, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, The club will be heard in an unusually interesting but short programme, the chief number in which will be the comprehensive work, "The Death of Joan of Arc," by Henri Bemberg, arranged for women's voices by Max Spicker. The soloists will be Signor Rosolino de Maria, 'cellist, and Miss Helen Toothe, pianist. Others will be the club soloists, Mrs. George M.

Mackellar, Mrs, Kathrene Cavannah Parker and Miss Marguerite Liotard, assisted by Miss Jeanne Little and Miss Lisette Everard Kinkel, violinists, and Mrs. Amelia Grey Clark, accompanist, and William Armour Thayer at the organ. Hans Merx, lieder singer, and J. Adam Hugo, composer pianist, appeared yesterday afternoon at Rumford Hall, in Manhattan. Dr.

Wullner and Professor neman have become familiar figures in the American artistic musical field, and, probably largely through their efforts, the German lieder have reached a stage of unusual popularity here. But it has remained for Merx, hitherto little known on this side, to demonstrate the real possibilities of the classics and lieder of the fatherland. His interpretations yesterday were without fault. J. Adam Hugo at the piano proved an accomplished accompanist.

His own compositions were received with much enthusiasm and his performance generally was highly appreciated. On April 27 a second recital in Rumford Hall will be given by these artists. It 1s expected that Hans Kronold will accompany Merx in the interpretation of his (Kronold's) songs from "Rosen and Cypressen," which will be a feature. Frank H. Mather has resigned his position as organist and choirmaster of Bartholomew's Church, Pacific street, near Bedford avenue.

During the three years he has held the position at that church he has raised the standard an? quality of singing to a high degree of excellence, and his work has met with hearty approval by the Bishop of the Diocese and also by the congregation. Mr. Mather was graduated from the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music, London, and was for three years director of music at St. Mary's, Tuxedo Park. He will devote himself to private teaching and composition.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, April 11--It is understood in Washington that Representative William Redfield will probably be a candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives from the new Eighth Congressional District of Brooklyn, Mr. Redfield now represents the Fifth Congressional District. For, some time he has been undecided whether to be a candidate from the new Tenth or Eighth Brooklyn district, both of which take in part of his present district. Mr.

Redfield, however, has about decided that he will seek the nomination in the Eighth District. Leader McCooey of Brooklyn, it is understood, has been informed of Mr. Redfield's intentions and has given his approval. Should Mr. Redfield finally decide to move into the Eighth Congressional District there will be opposition to his candidacy on the part of the district leaders there, who are Wogan, Heffernan and Lundy.

Of course Mr. Redfield's plans may be upset the movement which is now under way to have him named as the vice presidential candidate of the Democratic party at the Baltimore convention in June. this movement is successful, of course it will eliminate Mr. Redfeld as a Congressional candidate in Brooklyn.

Sullivan, was yesterday awarded a verdict of $301,791.14 in the Supreme Court in his suit against Patrick Ryan for half the profits on the Manhattan Bridge contract. Ryan contended that he had agreed to pay Sullivan half the profits, provided Sullivan would enlist the aid of nis cousin, the Senator, toward procuring the necessary $1,500,000 bond for his bid.

The necessary bond was given, not by the Sullivans, Ryan claimed, but by two men of the office of the Ryan-Parker Construetion Company. The jurors failed to say how they arrived at the verdict. Half the profits would have been $750,000. PRATT INSTITUTE.
