On Saturday, while workmen were making repairs in a wall near an old out house in tne yard of the Commercial Hotel on Market street, Gnstavos Rickets berg, a lad of 14, and two companions instituted a hunt for lost base balls which had been knocked over the wall. They failed to discover any balls, bat young Rickersberg kicked up a smsll fortune of $50,000 with the toe of his boot.

This treasure was found in a small package wrapped in an old copy of the New York Herald. When the paper was broken off there was disclosed a heavy leather wallet stuffed to bursting with bonds and mortgages, deeds, checks and notes amounting in the aggregate to over The contents of the wallet wero the 'property of Jphn Stockwell, and had been lost for several years. At the time of its loss a reward, of $30 was oflered for the return of the papers, and when young Rickersberg handed the wallet over to the lawyer, the long-standing reward was paid to him which, as he remarked, was "beter than finding base balls." Opened Both Doors. The other day, when it was pouring rain, a citizen turned aside to inter a store on Michigan avenue, the door of which was open. He made several at tempts to push the umbrella in before hmi, but the space would not permit.

He was standing there, looking puzzled and annoyed, when the dealer came to the door and asked: "Well, what is it?" "The door is not wide enough to ad mit umbrellas." "Ah I I see just wait." And be straightway flung open the other door to permit the man to enter. After they had talked of this and that for half an hour, the man with the urn brella suddenly slapped his leg and called out: "By George! what a dolt! If I had closed my umbrella I could have entered the door as it was! that a so; Come to think of it 1 see you could," replied theotheri well, not a day passes that we can learu something new! Wonderful TreeJ It is reported that there is a cane- brake of several hundred acres near Rome, that has been penetrated by few men or animals. A tourist recently cut his way into the center of khe brake. where he found an everreph growth, about twelve feet in bight, covering nearly an acre. This very singular tree or shoot is known as the peutvarian or aqueous plant.

It is umbrageous, and hen the oody of the tree is touched by the human band or body in the summer season or in warm weather, simultaneous with that touch a shower of water falls from the leaves, hich continues as long as the human and vegetable contact con tinues.

5. The best, known and the most admired of the nine splendid symphonies that Beethoven has written. The gre.it critics all concede it to be illustrative of the struggle of some mighty soul with a relentless fate, in which alternate the periods of strife and peace. The first movement, the Allegro eon brio, witnesses in a marvellous degree the assaults of Fate, or as Beethoven himself said, "the knocking cf Fa'e at the door." In the Andante, with its beautiful and tender we have conveyed a feeling of rest and peace. Yet it is bv no means lacking in depth or power.

There are fortissimo passages in this movement that are irresistible in the grand hope they portray. This movement was the signal for an outburst of applause on the part of the audience. The Scheizo is a strange, wild bit of writing, whose one object seems to be to call together the strings, and afterward the whole orchestra in the major movement of the finale, a triumphant and victorious march movement. In the rcitative and aria, "Ruins of Athefs," Mr. Remmertz gave more satisfaction than did Mrs.

Alien in her scene "Ah, Pertido." Mrs. Allen has a forced and disagreeable style, which at times leads her into errors too grave for the stage, even of an ordinary concert room. The trio of Miss Thursby, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Remmertz, is rarely sung, on account of its extreme difficulty for each voice.

This is to be rearetted, as a more beautiful trio it has never been our privilege to listen to. The theme and variations from the "Septet," one of Beethoven's most: admiral works, was given with delicacy and trueness of feeling. The orchestral setting of this favorite number is by Mr. Thomas. Of the closing number, the great hallelujah chorus from "The Mount of Olives," we have spoken before.

Suffice it to say here that it fitly closed a programme whose rendition was ouly excelled by its intrinsic merit. The fifth and last evening concert we have called "THE MKNDELSrtOHX NIGHT," Because his work occupies the principal portion of the programme. The first num. ber, the Manfred Overture of Schumann, we have spoken of already in another article. Mrs.

Cole showed more than ever, what a knack she has, for it is nothing else, of pleasing an audience. Mrs. Cole, has a very fine voice on the lower register, phenomenal is the term applied to it in the Festival book, and with all due allowance for exaggeration, the term is not misapplied. Vet Mrs. Cole is by no means a contralto, but as we have said before, a mezzo-soprano, whose notes when sung as open tones are strongly disposed to be tinny.

Mrs. Cole has a trick of singing hih notes as closed tunes, and excels in pianissimo and diminuendo effects, and thee. things always take with a large and mixed audience. Mrs. Cole is decidedly a favorite, but she has to a very great extent climbed up to her place by tricks of the trade and not by exceptional ability or pronounced merit.

Following the Aria of Weber O. Fatima, came the ever welcome Hungarian dances of Brahms', compositions which woik upon the imagination to such an extent that one almost can see tha scene, or, at least, a kindred one before his eyes. The peasants, young and old, tripping the measure, now ith stately tread and slow, and again with wild whirl and ruli. Madame Rive-King followed in a brilliant concerto of Liszt's, which she rendered with her usual brilliancy and nonchalance. Miss Thursby next faced the audience, and her selection, DU Loreley" by Liszt, was coldly received, and justly so, for it was beyond Miss Thumby's powers, and demanded a quality which Miss Thursby lacks, viz: Sovl.

Miss Thursby as a mechanical singer is a success, but it is very rarely that she shows that feeling essential to the greatness of any singer. It is not, of course, any fault of hers, for we are of the opinion that great singers are born not made, and Miss Thursby, is beyonu controveisy, a made singer. The ev-nt of the evening was Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise. After the prelude superbly rendered by the orchestra, in which some of the leading themes are a'nnounced, principally on the brasses, the choruses rose and with a good attack began the first number, which they sans almost faultlessly. Faultlessly, comparatively speaking, however.

When we use the term we bear in mind the short period allowed for rehearsals. The criticism that applies to this chorus will equally apply to every single one of the whole cantata. They were in most cases sung correctly as regards notation and rythm, but they were sung on adead level. The chorus started on its voyage with a certain degree of steam up, and did not perceptibly diminish or increase its force all through the t'ip. In other words, there was little or no shading.

It was amusing to see the effect of this evident disposition to do or die, especially among the bassos, who, with great unanimity, worked their books like eccentrics from the beginning to the ending of. each number, suggesting to the audience that they, feared to truj-t i implicitly to Mr. Thomas as a conductor, and had therefore adopted the motto, "Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost." In spite of this, howevt-r. His Satanic Majesty succeeded in taking captive of but few of the choius, and their wails were drowned in the with which each number was received. Alto gether, the Hymn of Praise was a success.

All through, as might have been expected from a glance at the chorus, the tenors were rather weik, but this the fact of a poverty in number rather than from a poverty of voice. In only one number was there a suspicion of a break the fourth, "All ye that cried unto thn Lord," which Mr. Thomas took at a much quicker tempo than the chorus had been accustomed to, consequently the tenors who have the attacking lead, dragged during the first two or three measures, but quickly recovered the lost time and sat-ed the finest chorus of the work from disastrous failure. The beautiful duo, "I Waited for the Lord," was giver excellently Ipoth by the soloists 'and' he who here for the first and time observed the shading necessary. Th.two remaining choruses, despite their great difficulty, were rendered capitally, as any one who heard them or who saw the smiling face of Mr.

Loring, upon the conclusion of the concert, can testify. The solo work iu the cantata was not as satisfactory as we had expected. Mr. Harvey on more than one occasion was decidedly off the' pitch, and the fcffee was correspondingly painful. Mrs.

Allen and Mrs. Cole got through their parts fairly well, but did nothing to merit special commendation, save in the duo, "I waited for the Lord," spoken of above. It is probable that the most popular events of the Festival were i "IHK AFTJERXOOX CONCERTS." They were designedly varied, in both matter and style. The programme of Saturday afternoon we regarded as the most pleasing, if not the best, of the season. This haa already been spoken of at some length in these columns, and limited space i compels as to forego farther criticism and pass for a moment to the concert of Wednesday afternoon.

The first nomber, Weber's Jubilee overture, introducing in the finals the hymn. "God Save the was superbly rendered aad warmly welcomed. RatTs charming aad spiritedmarch movement from the leonore symphony, also met with the cordial reception it so well deserved. Mrs. Belle Cole gave luck's aria, "I Have Lost My Eury-dice," with considerable force, bat did not appear to snch advantage as in former number.

The ballad is this ludy's sphere, and she "ventures moch when she transcends it. Mdme Rive-King substituted for the Chopin number Bratscae's Hungarian Fantasia. The change was a good one. sine the pianist ee selections had already indadrd Chopin. In the song, "The Two Grenadiers," Mr.

Remmertz sang to better advantage than before, and received a merited recalL Rubinstein's barbaric gesas, tne ballet mnsic and wedding peoceestea from Feramors were i given nUa th visa and crash, not oanitting the delicacy, so essential to the illoatratloa of their mean Leg. Miss Thuisby acored a great triumph in Han dela ecena, "Sweet Bird." On this oo- the degree spoken of in the beginning of this article. This is one of the most difficult of all concert numbers, and it was given with a degree of execution and artistic rioUh, of which we bad not thought Misa Thurby capable, although this class of music is. as we said elsewhere, her "native air." After being recalled five times, Mr. Thomas appeared and owing to the storm of applause continued several minutes, the following number, the exquisite Scherzo from the "Midsummer Night's Dream," was wholly lost.

Following this came the best concerted number of the festival, the quartet from Rigoletto, splendidly iven by Mesdames Allen and Cole I and Messrs. Harvey and Remmertz. was followed by the Strauss numbers already spoken of, which formed such an unfitting close to a magnificent festival. -Though not in the line of musical criticism, the public may be interested to learn that the following figures have been handed in by the management as the financial showing of the June festival: Gross receipts-, salaries' for time lost, and including San Francisco engagements, railroad and sleeping-cr fare and sjecial trains, remodelling Pavilion, advertising, hotel accommodations and general local expenses, expenses, $40,000.

I "the great mv-mcK case." Since the visit of the Union Square Company last summer, probably! no more thorough, perfect or equal dramatie troupe has come to this coast than the comedians of the London Criterion Theatre, now making an American tiur uder the leadership of Charles Wyndham. The manner of the latter actor is stronaiy reminiscent of the late Edward A. Sothern, but he is better than Suthern ver was. except in the single part of "Lord Dundreary." Next to Wyndham himself comes Blakely, probably the most auusing old man on tle stage. He is an ol.l favorite on this coast, and here with Suthern during his last engagement iu San Francisco.

As a rattling, lively actor George Giddens has few tquals on the stage, and at the same time he is by no means a one-part actor, as his imperson ation of a difficult character roie in Vie (Jrfit Dirnrce Ciixe. sho'va. This play will be given on Monday night at the Dietz Opera House. It is a play of the Pink Domini order, but the fun is even more uproarious. Prohablv no more laughable collection of dramatic absurdities were ever grouped together than is to he found the second act ct this play, and the other two acts are very little behind it in this resect.

This will be the last opportunity of seeing the Wyndhams, probably, for years. EEXKKIT TO MI? I.OL'ISE LESTER. On rext Mondav, June 18th, the first performance of La t'W' le Madame Anyot will be given for the benefit of Miss Lou-'se Lester, the talented and popular prima donna of the Colosseum Opera Company. This opera is a gem from beginning to end, and possesses many very striking passages. The celebrated inspirators' chorus, the famous wa tz of the Muscadins, and the original "Fricassee" danced by the whole company in the lat act.

Miss Lester is deservedly popular among lis, and ail her almirers will turn out to prove to the lady that her talents have been appreciated bv the public of Oakland as well as by the public of San Francisco, where ber benefit last January was a rare and well-earned triumph. "THE KM) POCKET BOOK," Dietz Opera House was the fcene ast tight of the lepresentatiou by the Bert Dramatic Compuny of that thrilling melodrama, The lied I'orket Iiixik. This coropanv, during the; short period of its existence, has established for it-elf an enviable reputation, which it deserves, for in their lines there re probably no more effective actors than George Wessels Thompson and that rising and painstaking young actor, Theodore Roberts.

Strain or no strain, however, the festival was a great success, musically, socially and financially. We have'bpokert during the week more from a social point of view, than from a musical, reserving this latter for the weekly musical review. Before entering upon the field of criticism, however, it may be well to say a word in regard to a matter concerning which opinion seems to be pretty evenly divided; we allude to the matter of encores, and this matter centers naturally upon Miss Thursby, who has given hint only as to the true state of affairs in the communication which has appeared over her signature in the papers of the 14th and loth insts. The true facts the case are as follows: The star par excellence of the Festival" was unquestionably Minme. Rive-King.

The engagement of Miss ilhursby was an afterthought. Now, it was impossible that Mme. Rive-King should play twice at any concert. either in separate numbers or in response to an encore, and this by reason of the length of her selections. Such being the case, it was thought tst, enter as her solicitation, or in Mr.

1 nomas judgment, that Misa Thursby should follow in the same line and respond to no encores. The lady, as is now well known, cas diiposed both from a just pride and from a desire to please her auditor, to grant the request so enthusiastically made on more than one occasion. This she was powerless to do. The responsibility in this regard rests elsewhere. Mr.

Thomas may or may not have been right in encores" But once having made up his mind and announced his decision publicly in the matter, the audience should have respected it, however untasteful, and refrained from the unseemly exhibition indulged in on Wednesday afternoon last. If those who were at the conceit will stp a moment to consider, tbey will remember that the evening conceits were not over till about half past ten o'clock. Now we claim that if Mr. Thomas had suspended his rule on one occasion he would have been obliged to suspend it on others. If he had i'iveu the audience an inch they would have been quick to demand a yard, and we should have been fagged and wearied by programmes of almost interminable length.

Everybody says, "I've had enough music to last me a year," and yet, strange inconsistency, the same rsins tell you almost in the same breath that Mr. Thomas should have given encores, iu other words that they have not had music enough. So far as the writer's experience goes, he has never known an encore given at a grant music festival, and Mr. Thomas only acted consistently when, after announcing his intention, he refused to be clapped or hissed out of it. Had he yielded, we must confess that we should have been disappointed in him.i As it was, we were disappointed.

A disappointment the more grievous for that it was reserved till the very end. We allude to the bad taste in closing so grand a seriess of musical events with the tinseled ginger-bread of the Straus numbers. We like Strauss. There is no more bewitching dance music written than flows from his pen. Ia its way, each waltz is a gem.

But eet side by side with the pearls and i diamonds of the great masters 'such gems pale and lose their lustre. Strauss, we think, was out of place, and left a.bad 'taste in the mouth, a taste more to be regretted after the rich and beautiful feast that bad gone before. Still it is urged many people like Strauss and they ought tobepleased. Very true, but these people could not have been present, for on both afternoon concerts the Strauss numbers fell as flat as pancakes. We will not, however, pursue this or kin dred subjects further, but pass at once to the business of the review, making men tion farst ot THE WAGSER NIGHT.

I Wagner's, music has often been heard here but never to the extent or to the perfection ot last Saturday evening. No more complete victory has ever been won by a genius with an idea than has been achieved by Richard Wagner. Ten years ago he was I laughed at, and had the Revised; Version been then published the revisers might have substituted Bayreuth for jjllales. Every discordant noise under the broad canopy, from the sharp scream of a saw to the bray oi a imuie, irom tne dyspeptic gasps ot a hand organ to the clatter pf a tomato-can attained to a canine appendage and played by the rapid motion off its unfortunate owner, were given as trie images of wnat was called the music of the future. The future came more speedily than was anticipated, for albeit much of Wagner is not as yet understood, yet the great iconoclast is understood sufficiently to make his works emphatically the music of the present.) That i the orchestral numbers were all good, perfect almost, goes without saying.

In respect of the orchestra we dare make no criticism, for its perfection is so high that its shortcomings, granting there are such, are wholly beyond our limited knowledge, i The chorus, in the March from Tanrifiauser was a revelation, and ranks only second in point of finish and power to the great chorus of the Beethoven night. The fortissimo I passage which leads up to the finale was especially fine, and for this number alone, had they failed in all the others would the chorus have proved tb'eir capability to interpret music of the highest order. In the selections from Die Walkure, one of the Niebelungen operas, the orchestra was heard to better advantage than in any of the other numbers of the evening. The introduction! to the first act, the Ride of the Valkyrias and the death of Siegfried being all magnificent opportunities, magnificently In the Lohengrin numbers, which closed the programme, the chorus, while far surpassing the most sanguine expectations, was nut, it most be confessed, up its work. The first chorus, the suite and elaboration of the beautiful "Swsnlied." was well rendered, but the second full chorus was uncertain and lacked the precision and fire which is its main.

The prayer and the bridal chorus both went very wed, but in the final chorus the welcome to King Henry, given by male voices the ending was ragged, where it should have been dean cut and abrupt to I give the ruht effect.
