O major Brahms Miss Helen Henschel will sing the songs. In the Brahms sextet the two additional instruments will be played by Mr. Max Zach. viola, and Mr. J. Keller, violoncello. Tschaikowsky composed three string quartets, of which this is the third. They are ail early works, and this one immediately fol- lowed his third symphony, In 1875. when he was a professor of theory in the Moscow Conservatory. He wrote it down immediately upon his return from a Journey undertaken on account of his health, dur- ing which he was forbidden by his physician to touch music paper. But he could not repress the flow of his musical Ideas, and he had the Quartet completely thought out on his return, before he had written down a note of it. Like his trio. op. 50. dedicated to "the memory of a great artist," Nich- olas Rubinstein, it was prompted by the death of one of his colleagues in the Moscow Conservatory. Ferdinand Laub, the noted violinist and quartet player. The Scotch and Irish folk songs that Miss Hen- schel will sing recall a curiously Interesting chap- ter in Beethoven's life and work— relations with the Edinburgh publisher. George Thomson. In 1809 Thomson commissioned Beethoven to compose rltor- nellos and accompaniments for a number of Welsh and Irish airs. This was the beginning of a long series of negotiations that resulted in the arrange- ment of abou* one hundred and thirty of such airs, including also Scotch and English, as solos, duets and choruses, with accompaniment for pianoforte, violin and violoncello. Among these are a number of such well known tunes as "Sally In Our Alley." "St. Patrick's Day." "God Save the King."etc. In his first answer to Thomson's proposition Bee- thoven demanded a higher price than was offered, for one reason, among others, because the task was one that "could give no great pleasure to an artist." Later he wrote that he had composed most of the work "con amore," desiring to "give a mark of his esteem to the Scottish and English people by cul- tivating their national Bongs." That Beethoven ex- pended care and attention upon them Is shown by his continual demands upon Thomson for the words of the poems, for "it Is very necessary to have them to be able to give the correct expres- sion." The undertaking extended over five years; but the product of all his labor has remained practically unknown to the musical public. Brahms's second sextet, which was published in 1866, followed his first by only four years. is a less familiar work, partly because of Its greater diffi- culty in performance and partly because of its deeper musical quality. ItIs rich in ideas and in beauty. Brahms has seldom written a more naive and spontaneous theme than that in dance rhythm which interrupts the scherzo in the middle. Those who are Interested in such things may find in the first movement some remarkable contrapuntal writ- ing in which science is put at the service of the purest beauty such as a canon in contrary motion.

Plnehurst, N. C. Feb. 28 (Special.)—A story is" Coins the rounds .in the Carolina billiard room that John B. McDonald, the New-York subway con- tractor, has discovered that Adam played golf in the Garden of Eden. At any rate. Mr. McDonald has a bronM statuette, which Is said to represent \u25b2dam. and which is undoubtedly the figure of a golf player. Report has It that this was unearthed in the subway by one of Mr McDonald's trusty lieutenants This statuette was offered as a trophy In an invitation eighteen hole medal play handi- cap tournament this week. There were ten par- titlpants— C. McNelr. - John Pierce, D. W. Cook*. C. F. Wills. James McCutcheon. Frank Presbrey. George C. Clausen and Andrew Shiland. of New- York City; A. L. Whitman, of Port Chester, N. T... and J. Henry Hentx. jr.. of Philadelphia. Mr. Bhlland won the prise with a net score of 88. The various hotels in the Plnehurst system are finding It difficult to provide for those who are flocking here to enjoy the beauties of early spring- Th» Holly Inn. Berkshire and Harvard are prac- tically full, and the Carolina is well filled. Social pleasures are many. The affair of the week was an afternoon tea in observance of Washington's Birthday, at which Mrs. Byron A. Stone, Mis* Stone. Minn Bertha D. Stone, Mrs. G. W. Murdock. Miss Marian Murdock and Mrs. C. A. Lockwood presided. "? Among- the matrons of the week who were In charge of numerous informal functions were Mrs. Lee B. DursUne and Mrs. K. C. Corner »ls, of New- York City. The Frolicsome Shooters entertained this week, with a novelty shoot, at fifteen single birds, in which pajamas and Impossible attitudes figured prominently. C. A. Lockwood. . of Brooklyn, won with ten kUls. The fourth event In the programme of stated golf fixture* was an eis;hteen-hole handicap match play contest for men and women 'who had never played elgi "«n consecutive holes In less than 100. Mrs. Arthur C. Ketcbam. of New- City (17). won £}g£t9 HK th» b«it-n«t*coM^»itb-i5 ».-w;*wii. As fine an experience in surf fishing as any one has enjoyed this season was that of Thomas Fagan & few days ago. Among the beauties that he pulled oat of the ocean was a big sea bass that tipped the scales at twenty-eight pounds. Fishing from the bridge that spans the river is a lavonte pastime with old and young. Thompson's Creek, which may be reached by boat up the picturesque Tomoka, furnishes fine opportunities also, if one prefers to drive one may go by cairiage to the creek over the famous causeway, which is full of historic interest. John NeUson, of New-York, with a guide named Adams, a short time ago tried his luck in Thompson's Creek. The day was rine and everything was in has favor, so he returned with the biggest catch of the season. Such a string of black buss has not greeted the eyes of the fishermen in a long time. Sketching from nature is interesting a number of women at the Ormcnd this season. Nearly every pleasant day they may be se»n with their sketching materials, starting out for some fa- vorite spot, returning later enthusiastic over their achievements. The beach is In unusually good condition this year, and is not the lea«t of Ormond's attractions. A well known automobillst of Boston, who has been familiar with it for year?, pronounces it finer than ever These warm, beautiful dtiys bring out the alli- gators. No trip In Florloa gives a better oppor- tunity to see these monsters in their native haunts than the one up the Tomoka. With many guests they take first place in the attractions of the trip. Mrs. Frances P. Osborne Is entertaining Mr.and Mrs. Tate. of New- York, at her cott.ige in Bostrom Road, near the hotel. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Treadwell, Mi?s Jennie Treadweli. R. O. Humbold and Charles 3. Morse, of New-York City, have Joined their fritnds, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Hamilton, of New- York, who have been here since the house opened and are to re- main throughout the seascn. Mrs. Shlras. of Washington, arrived r few days a«o. Joining her friends Mr. and Mrs. Walter Mc- Clintock, of Plttsburg. Her husband. ox-Justice Shlras, of the United States Supreme Court, Is ex- pected later Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wood. Mrs. T. F. Wood and Miss Theodora Wood, of New- York are en- Joyinf thelf first visit at the Ormond. William H. Chappell and Miss Chappell are find- Ing Ormond attractive. Mr Char pell was here throughout the season last year, out Miss Chap- pell 18 here for the first time. Fine February Weather— Fishing Popular- Alligators Attractive. Ormond. Fla.. Feb. 28 (Special).— No one can dis- pute the fact that February has been a delightful month and merits the compliment of bringing true Florida weather this year. As a consequence, the guests spend most of the time out of doors, driving or strolling on the beach or for a short run in a bicycle chair The 5 o'clock "teas" are now under way, and the afternoon concert takes place at the same time— a happy combination. Those who sit on the western veranda, Just outside the tea and concert room, have the additional charm of the gorgeous sunsets. DELIGHTFUL DAYS IN FLORIDA. St. Augustine. Fla., Feb. 28 (Speclal.)-Since the tide of prosperity that followed the election of Mr McKlnley set in there ha« been a constant increase in the number of visitors to the State and the length of their visit, until this year it seems rrob- able that within the next three weeks there will be more visitors to entertain than means of enter- taining them. Washington's Birthday saw the tide the highest here. Every small house was full, while not twenty rooms were vacant at the Ponce de Leon, and the Alcazar, with the new wing, had few vacant rooms. The public rooms were filled with a brilliant gathering at the sacred concert on Sunday night. Special dinners were served at both the hotels, and there was special music on Monday night. The Wednesday teas at the Ponce de Leon are proving popular with the guests, and they are attended by larger numbers each week. On Mon- day Mrs. Schofleld, wife of General Schofleld. gave a tea to present her sister, Mrs. Kilbourne, of Cleveland. Among her guests were John W. Ellis and his daughter. Mrs. Cole, who has Just arrived; Edward R. Renwick. his son and his wife. Mrs. and Mrs. W. W. Renwick. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Belknap and the Misses Blgelow. Mrs. Upham, of Milwaukee, and Miss Warden, of Philadelphia, served tea and sherbet. Miss Wherry punch, and Miss Wells chocolate. The general and his family and visitors went South the next day for a three Among the New-Yorkers arriving at the Ponce de Leon recently are Mr. an-J Mrs. Frederic Coudert. Miss Coudert. Mrs. Benedict. Dr. and Mrs. George Quimby. Mrs. Philander Knox. wife of the At- torney General of the United States: Richard A. McCurdy. Robert McCurdy. Mrs. Julia F. Clapp. Mrs. George Morgan.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Stanton Flower, who spent Saturday and Sunday there, went on to Miami, where Mr. Flower's yacht will meet them, and they will make a several weeks' cruise. Mr. and Mrs Hugh Murray, also on their wedding journey, arrived on Monday, and will spend several days here before joining Mr. and Mrs. Flower on their cruise. , There was a large card party in the parlors of the Alcazar on Wednesday night, given by Mr and Mrs E. A. Sumner and a second on Tuesday night of thlß week for a local charity. Arrangements are In progress for a garden party to be given in the palm garden of the Ponce de Leon at mid-Lent that Interests all the women. Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Schofleld. Mrs. Fletcher.

Mr. Gennaros's specialty Is clarinet \u25a00108. An idea of the size of the hotel can be taken from tho fact that it took one thousand yards or carpet to cover the floor of the exchange alone. The room is finished in red and green, and there is no more attractive exchange in Atlantic City. Adjoining it is a large sun parlor, where dozens of easy chairs are hidden away among giant palms. The palm room, or cafe, on the street floor, has a seating capacity of on<j thousand, and is one of the most popular resorts alone the board walk. The hotel orchestra plays there during the afternoons and evenings of the Lenten, spring and summer season. The w#i<? rooms are noted for their spe- cial vintages, and the service is unexcelled. The Islesworth has been most liberal in the pro- vision of extensive surrounding grounds, and there is none of that shut-in feeling of which visitors sometimes complain. Although the building terri- tory on the island is decidedly limited, and every foot of land proportionately valuable, the manage- ment has been wise in refusing to sell the sur- rounding property. Wide piazzas extend around the entire hotel, and command a magnificent view of the ocean. Just below the hotel the steel pier about which so much has bean written extends into the ocean, and forms the centre of Atlantic City life. The sleeping apartments are particu- larly well arranged, and all the baths are served with hot and cold water, both fresh and salt. Mr. Gossler is most optimistic in his view of the future of Atlantic City. Those who Know his energy nre sur«» that th° Isleaworth will never fall behind in the march of improvements. The hotel caters to no particular city, and no hotel register covers a greater geographical scope. THE SHELBUENE. ATLANTIC CITY. Atlantic City. N. J.. Ft b. 2S (Special).— The only hotel in Atlantic City managed and owned by a woman is the Shelburne, at the sea end of Mich- Igan-ave. It has the distinction also of being nearer the sea than any of the other hotels. The ocean rolls under the board walk and up to the edge of tho Shelburne's front yard. Mrs. R. E. R. Ramsey undertook the active man- agement of the hotel about a year ago, though it has been owned In her family since 1878. It might be said that she has grown up with the business and now ir.to.it. There have been several import- ant changes since she took charge, all looking toward making the house more homelike. The Shelburne is perhaps the only large hotel here which has no orchestra* and la proud of it There are persons, many of them, to whom the hotel orchestra Is an abomination. They come to the seaside for rest and a change of scene, and wish to eliminate anything which detracts from their rest. The home idea is carried out in every part of the house. Tho pariors are more like those in a private house than the typical hotel parlor. The smoking room, with its large fireplace and easy chairs of stuffed leather. Is reserved for the men. their cigara and their newspapers. The sun parlor. looking out on the ocean and board walk. Is roomy and comfortable. There is a library well stocked with books, and an Eastern room, full of cosey corners for the young people. There Is a Louis XV parlor, which pleases many of the guests. The 3helburnr has always been known for the exclusive character of Us guests. Refined persons from New- York. Boston. Philadelphia, Washing- ton and cities South and West have been going there for years, and the hotel never knowa a dull season. Now that Mrs. Runny has taken active charge no effort will be spared to increase the com- fort of the guests. HOTEL ISLESWORTH, ATLANTIC CITY. Atlantic City. N. J., Feb. 28 (Special).— Known alike to hundreds of guests who accept its hospitality every year and to thousands from other hotels who drift into the luxurious cafe, the Hotel Islesworth is one of the most popular of the entertainment pal- aces along the board walk. It is at the ocean end of V'rginia-ave., and separated from the beach by a flower decked lawn. \u25a0 Recent improvements have made it as thoroughly up to date as a resort hotel can be. The Islesworth Is twelve years old. but a new era of prosperity began two years ago. when it was purchased by the present owner, John C. Goss- ler, a Philadelphian, the son of John T. Gossler, a. retired lumber merchant. He has since taken on the personal management of the house, and with unqualified success. Balls and Dinners Before the Lenten Season Began Recent Arrivals. Palm Beach. Fla.. Feb. 26 (Speclal).-Soclety up to the very eve of the Lenten season was enjoy- ing Itself Immensely. There are also many en- tertainments to be given In LenV and there will be no Interruption In the gayety for which Palm Beach seasons are so well known. The hotels are all doing a good business, and at the Breakers there are more applications for accommodation than can be cared for. At the Hotel Royal Potn- clana the business thus early In the season is away ahead of what it was last year at the height of the season. And letters and telegrams are still pouring In for the reservation of rooms. The week was ushered in with a Washington Birthday ball on Monday night. It was the most elaborate function given thus far this season. Beauty, wealth and culture were present. Lavish decorations were everywhere. The prevailing scheme of decoration was, of course, the use of large national flags and of red. white and blue bunting. Electric lights were used with much skill, the globes being red. white and blue. The entrance to the new dining room of the How Royal Poinclai.a. where the ball took place was elaborately decorated. Immense palm »>r ancnes and heavy ropes of green were also used to com- plete the decorations. Among those present were. The Duchess cf Manchester. Mrs Oliver -H. Y. Belmont. Mrs. Henry M. Flagler. Mrs. Charles G. Gates and Mrs. Jullanna Cutting. talnn A . Mr. and Mrs Henry M. Flagler entertained a dinner party on Monday night at Whitehall. The guests included only a few of their, friends iouteide of tho members of their house party, following the dinner the narty attended the ball. On the same evening an elaborate ainnf was given in the private grill at the Royal Poincian* For the Duchess of Manchester by Colonel Joseph B. Hughes, of New- York. The decorations w*r« in conformity with the celebration \>t the holiday, and the national colors were used with pleasing effect. Covers went laid for thirty guests, who were seated at tables arranged in a square, ,^y e O}hlng was from New- York, specially ordered for .^occa- sion, as Colonel Hughes had planned this dinner several weeks ago and had only let one of hl3 friends into the secret.

Miss Helen Henschel willsing the songs. In the

Brahms sextet the two additional instrumentswillbe played by Mr. Max Zach. viola, and Mr. J.Keller, violoncello. Tschaikowsky composed threestring quartets, of which this is the third. They

are ail early works, and this one immediately fol-

lowed his third symphony, In1875. when he was aprofessor of theory in the Moscow Conservatory.

He wrote itdown immediately upon his return froma Journey undertaken on account of his health, dur-ing which he was forbidden by his physician totouch music paper. But he could not repress the

flow of his musical Ideas, and he had the Quartetcompletely thought out on his return, before he hadwritten down a note of it. Like his trio. op. 50.dedicated to "the memory of a great artist," Nich-

olas Rubinstein, it was prompted by the death ofone of his colleagues in the Moscow Conservatory.

Ferdinand Laub, the noted violinist and quartet

player.The Scotch and Irish folk songs that Miss Hen-

schel willsing recall a curiously Interesting chap-

ter in Beethoven's life and work— relations with

the Edinburgh publisher. George Thomson. In1809

Thomson commissioned Beethoven to compose rltor-

nellos and accompaniments for a number of Welsh

and Irish airs. This was the beginning of a long

series of negotiations that resulted in the arrange-

ment of abou* one hundred and thirty of such airs,including also Scotch and English, as solos, duets

and choruses, with accompaniment for pianoforte,

violin and violoncello. Among these are a numberof such well known tunes as "Sally In Our Alley."

"St. Patrick's Day." "God Save the King."etc. Inhis first answer to Thomson's proposition Bee-thoven demanded a higher price than was offered,

for one reason, among others, because the task wasone that "could give no great pleasure to an artist."Later he wrote that he had composed most of thework "con amore," desiring to "give a mark of his

esteem to the Scottish and English people by cul-tivating their national Bongs." That Beethoven ex-pended care and attention upon them Is shown byhis continual demands upon Thomson for thewords of the poems, for "it Is very necessary to

have them to be able to give the correct expres-sion." The undertaking extended over five years;

but the product of all his labor has remainedpractically unknown to the musical public.

Brahms's second sextet, which was published in1866, followed his first by only four years. is a lessfamiliar work, partly because of Its greater diffi-culty in performance and partly because of itsdeeper musical quality. ItIs rich in ideas and inbeauty. Brahms has seldom written a more naiveand spontaneous theme than that in dance rhythm

which interrupts the scherzo in the middle. Thosewho are Interested in such things may find in thefirst movement some remarkable contrapuntal writ-ing in which science is put at the service of thepurest beauty such as a canon in contrary motion.

As fine an experience in surf fishing as any onehas enjoyed this season was that of Thomas Fagan

& few days ago. Among the beauties that hepulled oat of the ocean was a big sea bass thattipped the scales at twenty-eight pounds. Fishing

from the bridge that spans the river is a lavontepastime with old and young. Thompson's Creek,which may be reached by boat up the picturesqueTomoka, furnishes fine opportunities also, if oneprefers to drive one may go by cairiage to thecreek over the famous causeway, which is full ofhistoric interest. John NeUson, of New-York,with a guide named Adams, a short time ago triedhis luck in Thompson's Creek.

Ormond. Fla.. Feb. 28 (Special).— No one can dis-pute the fact that February has been a delightful

month and merits the compliment of bringing

true Florida weather this year. As a consequence,

the guests spend most of the time out of doors,drivingor strolling on the beach or for a short runin a bicycle chair The 5 o'clock "teas" are nowunder way, and the afternoon concert takes place

at the same time—a happy combination. Thosewho sit on the western veranda, Just outside the

An idea of the size of the hotel can be takenfrom tho fact that it took one thousand yards orcarpet to cover the floor of the exchange alone.The room is finished in red and green, and thereis no more attractive exchange in Atlantic City.Adjoiningit is a large sun parlor, where dozens ofeasy chairs are hidden away among giant palms.

The palm room, or cafe, on the street floor, has aseating capacity of on<j thousand, and is one of themost popular resorts alone the board walk. Thehotel orchestra plays there during the afternoonsand evenings of the Lenten, spring and summerseason. The w#i<? rooms are noted for their spe-cial vintages, and the service is unexcelled.

The Islesworth has been most liberal in the pro-vision of extensive surrounding grounds, and thereis none of that shut-in feeling of which visitorssometimes complain. Although the building terri-tory on the island is decidedly limited, and everyfoot of land proportionately valuable, the manage-ment has been wise in refusing to sell the sur-rounding property. Wide piazzas extend aroundthe entire hotel, and command a magnificent viewof the ocean. Just below the hotel the steel pierabout which so much has bean written extendsinto the ocean, and forms the centre of AtlanticCity life. The sleeping apartments are particu-larly well arranged, and all the baths are servedwith hot and cold water, both fresh and salt.Mr. Gossler is most optimistic in his view of the

future of Atlantic City. Those who Know hisenergy nre sur«» that th° Isleaworth willnever fallbehind in the march of improvements. The hotelcaters to no particular city, and no hotel registercovers a greater geographical scope.•

THE SHELBUENE. ATLANTIC CITY.Atlantic City. N. J.. Ft b. 2S (Special).— The only

hotel in Atlantic City managed and owned by awoman is the Shelburne, at the sea end of Mich-Igan-ave. Ithas the distinction also of being nearerthe sea than any of the other hotels. The oceanrolls under the board walk and up to the edge oftho Shelburne's front yard.

Mrs. R. E. R. Ramsey undertook the active man-agement of the hotel about a year ago, though ithas been owned In her family since 1878. It mightbe said that she has grown up with the businessand now ir.to.it. There have been several import-ant changes since she took charge, all lookingtoward making the house more homelike.

The Shelburne is perhaps the only large hotelhere which has no orchestra* and la proud of itThere are persons, many of them, to whom thehotel orchestra Is an abomination. They come tothe seaside for rest and a change of scene, andwish to eliminate anything which detracts fromtheir rest.

The home idea is carried out in every part ofthe house. Tho pariors are more like those in aprivate house than the typical hotel parlor. Thesmoking room, with its large fireplace and easychairs of stuffed leather. Is reserved for the men.their cigara and their newspapers. The sun parlor.looking out on the ocean and board walk. Is roomyand comfortable. There is a library well stockedwith books, and an Eastern room, full of coseycorners for the young people. There Is a Louis XVparlor, which pleases many of the guests.

The 3helburnr has always been known for theexclusive character of Us guests. Refined personsfrom New-York. Boston. Philadelphia, Washing-ton and cities South and West have been goingthere for years, and the hotel never knowa a dullseason. Now that Mrs. Runny has taken activecharge no effort willbe spared to increase the com-fort of the guests.

HOTEL ISLESWORTH, ATLANTIC CITY.Atlantic City.N.J., Feb. 28 (Special).— Known alike

to hundreds of guests who accept its hospitalityevery year and to thousands from other hotels whodrift into the luxurious cafe, the Hotel Islesworth isone of the most popular of the entertainment pal-

aces along the board walk. Itis at the ocean endof V'rginia-ave., and separated from the beach bya flower decked lawn. \u25a0 Recent improvements havemade it as thoroughly up to date as a resort hotelcan be.

The Islesworth Is twelve years old. but a newera of prosperity began two years ago. when itwas purchased by the present owner, John C. Goss-ler, a Philadelphian, the son of John T. Gossler, a.retired lumber merchant. He has since taken onthe personal management of the house, and withunqualified success.
