The great steel pier at Atlantic City
was ablaze with thousands of electric
lights encased In tiny cut class globes.
Easter lilies were everywhere, and be
neath the concrete floor which held 4,000
people the wave of the great Atlantic
dashed and broke. Even louder than the
roar of the ocean Itself, was the sudden
and prolonged burst of applause which
rose and swelled throughout the crowd
as Walter Damrosch, leader of
the famous New York Symphony or
chestra, made his slow and welcome
way past his men and raised his slen
der baton for the opening notes of his
Easter Sunday concert.
Not alone notable in that It cele
brated Easter at Atlantic City with
crowds of New York and Philadelphia
fashionables In the audience but It was
the first not of the music to -be played
on the long ten week's tour which will
bring this splendid organisation to Port
land to give three concerts during Rose
Festival week.

Texas, up through brilliant California
until the great and beautiful northwest
has been reached and included is the
Itinerary of the great orchestra which,
after playing two concerts In the great
new Denver Auditorium will hurry, by
special train, to open the big spring fes
tival at Indianapolis June 14.
Walter Damroscli, the conductor,
needs no introduction to music lovers.
His has long been a name to conjure
with, for steadily and consistently, and
in the face of almost Insurmountable
difficulties, Walter-Damrosch has stood
by his ideals and has come at last to
that high place In the artistic world for
which oe has always been working.
Damrosch is equally beloved In opera
and in concert, as a composer as well as
a lecturer. His conducting of the Wag
ner coyle with the Orau Opera company
will never be forgotten by those who
were fortunate enough to witness those
remarkable performances.
Damrosch succeeded his father, Dr.
Leopold, In the capacity of conductor
of the -New -York Symphony society,
which was founded thirty years ago by
Dr. Damrosch, and the son, a typical
American, is, undoubtedly this coun
try's most distinguished musician.
An orchestra that would always be at
the call of Its-conductor for rehearsals
or concerts has ever seemed the unat
tainable ideal. Today this Is the condi
tion of the Symphony society and as it
Is the only Symphony orchestra. In New
York which can and does meet every
day for concert or rehearsal one may
justly describe it as holding a position
all its own In the musical world. In
the matter of concert performances in
TENNIS RACQUETS.
Dampness Is the Worst Enemy of
Gat Strings.
. From the New York Sun.
What most affects the life of the gut
In a lawn tennis racquet Is dampness.
Nowadays-racquet are strung so tight
that the strings break with even greater
frequency than before. The Idea Is
that tight gut saves the energy of the
player because a light stroke sends the
ball about "with great foree from the
very tense surface. The dampness gets
right aftr these very taut strings. A
Iswn tennis man was explaining recent-

ly what precautions have to be taken In
sending racquets abroad:
"When first we began to send them
to Bermuda, for instance," he said, "we
put them merely in waterproof covers.
Oreatly to our surprise, we learned
that the entire firs shipment had ar
rived with the strings brellen. We tried
the same package again, with the same
result.
"Then we realised what was the trou
ble and packed the raequets in tin
boxes. Each box was carefully soldered
up and that made them airtight and
damp proof."
The lawn tennis man explained a
new wrinkle of players. At the end of a
season some of them have all the gut
cut out of a favorite racquet. That is
done because if the gut were left in a
string might break in the winter and
put the strain all on one side of the
frame, warping It.
"With a favorite racquet they think It
better to pay for restrfnglng thpm than
to run those chances." said he. "It
doesn't hurt a racquet to restrlng it;
really.it helps and Improves it."

New Yorjc and elsewhere the activity of
the New York Symphony orchestra has
Increased beyond compare, until it now
gives more public performances than
any other symphony orchestra in Amer
ica and naturally, 'critical appreciation
of Its work has been universal.
A great proportion oZ the men in the
orchestra has been working with and
under Mr. Damrosch for yars; fourteen
nationalities are ' represented in his
splendid body of men. Most of them
are now American cltisens and it is a
very significant fact that Mr. Damrosch
never uses any but the English language
at rehearsals. Last year the orchestra
played together for forty-four weeks
and this year the season will be even
longer, although some of the big eastern
festivals had to be cut out In order to
glvo sufficient tlmo for the ten week's
tour of the west.
The soprano soloist, Mme. Mary HIs
spm de Moss, with the orchestra, has a
smendldlv cultivated voice, very beau
tlful. She Is an American and has been
Alexander -SKeSVAVcJKYi
soloist with every Important orchestra
and festival society In this country. All
of the Instrumentalists are with, the or
ganization and some charming bits of
'Cello and violin work will be done here.
The concerts to be held during Rose
Festival week will be In the Armory,
which will be transformed Into a regu
lar music hall. The opening concert
will be on Wednesday evening the 3d of
June, followed by a Thursday matinee
and evening performance. The concert
will be under the direction of Lola
Steers-Wynn Coman who have entire
charge of Mr. Damrosch's three week's
tour throughout the northwest, even In
cluding Denver.
