There Is a rumor afloat that a cer
tain slender bachelor banker much ad
dicted to the Intoxicating delights of
buggy-riding has had another run
away and got another young lady con
siderably bruised up on the highway
because of the excitable temperament,
of his fiery team. This is by no means
the first time the gentleman's horse
ran away, nor the first time he and
his lady friends have gone Ignomln
lously over the dash board. In fact.
almost every lady of his acquaintance
has a bruise or a scar which she fondly
exhibits as a souvenir of her martyr
dom to the favorite dissipation of this
reckless and hot-headed bachelor.
Now, as moonlight drives are about
the only luxury he lavishes upon his
lady friends, and as accidents occur
continually, it seems as though life
long practice should have perfected
him In the art of managing the ribbons
so that he need not have a long train
of mangled Invalids on his track.
The first faculty recital of the Uni
versity Conservatory had evidently
been looked forward to, for the univers
ity chapel was filled, even to the back
seats of the balcony. The audience was
unusually quiet during the music, and,
Ierhaps, a little too quiet at the end
of each number. The work of the
players would have been none the
worse for a little more encouragement.
It deserved it.
The string quartet has changed a lit
tle in membership, evidently not for
the worse. Mr. Charles Hagenow, so
far as could be Judged from the ensem
ble, played excellently and will be a
valuable member. The first number on
the program, the allegro from Beetho
ven's op. IS, No. 4, was played with
that excellence of interpretation, the
musical scholarship, if the term may
be so used, that makes Mr. Hagenow's
rendering of classical music so valua
ble. Whatever defects may be noted,
now and then. In perfect blending. In
precision of tone, in detail of tempo,
the work of the quartet always suc
ceeds In this. In catching and conveying
the idea, the musical impulse of each
number. And for that one could for
give much were there much to forgive.
Mr. Randolph's songs, though his voice
lacks a little in resonance and in that
sympathetic quality that makes peo
ple lean forward in their seats to listen,
were excellent inmuslcal detail. In pre
cision of tone and in shading. In the
"Song of Hybrias the Cretan," he
showed perhaps to better advantage
than in the comparatively ineffective
music of Marschner's "An Jenem
Tag." Of Mr. Hagenow's solo, "Bal
lade and Polonaise" by Vieuxtemps,
little need be said from him Lincoln
people know what to expect. Neither
the delicacy of the ballade nor the
spirit of the polonaise lost anything in
his hands. Indeed, his new violin has
given him the means to bring out more
sympathetically than ever the music
that he feels. He was, as usual, at his
best in the flowing cantablle passages.
Miss Scotleld, like Mr. Randolph, Is
well known to us. Her rendering of
Mendelsshon's Sherzo In F sharp min
or was brilliant and showed mastery
of technique. Its lack, such as there
was, was In delicacy of shading, in
Interpreting clearly to the hearer,
the Identity of the distinct subjects.
It lacked, that Is, the lyric, singing in
terpretation that Mendolssohn's work
usually asks. This cannot be said of
Miss Perkins playing of Chopin's bal
lade. That sung itself excellently. It
lacked, however, the Individuality of
Chopin the force, the occasional Hng
erings, the little impulses that make
us realize that, gay as his music may
be, there are always ghosts in the
dark corners. It seems, perhaps, that
Miss Scofield's manner would be better
suited to Chopin and Miss Perkins's
to Mendelssohn. One feels with regard
to musicians as with regard to actors,
that they best fit certain roles. And
It Is no dispraise to say this. The
closing numbers of the string quartet.
"Suesses Erinern," "Stllles Glueck,"
and the oddly delicate "Dudelsack,"
closed the program. The effect was a
little marred by the marching out of a
few people whose bed-time came at
half-past nine. It is to be hoped that
the University Conservatory will give
us this year the opportunity to hear
much music. It is to be hoped, too.
that we will make, by liberal subscrip
tions, such opportunity possible. Suck
music as Mr. Hagenow is giving us.
such preachnlg of the gospel of beauty
of sound, needs support as much as
church or school, or public library.
The arrangements are practically
complete for the meeting of the state
federation of woman's clubs, which
convenes In this city October 3 and 4,
under the auspices of the city federa
tion. The Congregational church has
been secured as an assembly place and
general headquarters. Mrs M. D.
Welch, chairman of the assignment
committee, will be there Thursday to
greet the delegates and render them as
sistance in finding their hostess. The
program which Is given below has been
carefully prepared by the state federa
