DAMROSCH WILL HAVE
JULY THE VERY BEST
Symphony Orchestra Given
As One of Notahlo Eicep
' tions As to Trumpets.
The seat sala for the Damroech oon
certi started with a tremendous lineup
this morning at Sherman-Clay's, j and
Will continue there until June I.
4 The noted muslo critic, W. J. Hender
son, in his book, 'The Orchestra and
Orchestral Music' says: "In the United
States I have heard trumpets only in
the Boston Symphony orchestra and
? Falter Daniroaotfs orchestra. - This
lne Instrument, the soprano of the
brass choir,, is, too. of ten replaced by
"the cornet.' ; The trumpet has a full,
round,.- brilliant tone, for which that of
the blatant and brassy cornet Is not a
ood substitute. But It is much easier
o get good cornet-players than good
trumpeter, so the cornet Is quite com
mon. This is only one Illustration out
of a thousand showing Damrosch's in
domitable habit of refusing to accept
anything but the best No living con
ductor ' of ' the present' age has higher
Ideals, or has been more persistent and
untiring tn his effort-to attain the loft
Jest summits, of art By his skilled
knowledge of the .peculiar and Individ
ual characteristics of each instrument
he has Imparted a smooth delicious so
nority or tone to Die Drass cnoir mat
distinguishes It from all other orchea
4raa. The most beautiful organ-like
effects are produced by it and In the
thunder of a Tuttl fortissimo, as In the
-climax to the prelude to "Lohengrin,"
the majeaty and solemnity of Us dra
matic utterance describing the radiant
glory of the Holy Grail In all Its un-
veiled splendor,- Is wonderfully impres
sive. This great orchestra, tho New fork
Symphony, conducted by Walter Dam
rosch himself, wlli be heard In three
concerts, June I (evening), ana June
(afternoon and evening), at the Armory,
under (he management of Lola Steers-
Wynn Coman. Seats, are now. on sale at

The congressmen at Washington are
so busy and the members of the com
mittees so engaged that it Is not Improb
able that tn Dili wmcn proposes to
hangethe name of the custom district
to Portland Instead of Willamette, as
ft is now known, will o over until the
next session. Representative W. B El
lis has written E. C Giltner, secretary
Of the chamber of commerce. In which
he ears that he believes the bill will
go over owing to the fact that all the
committee are too ousy to taae up me
question at tne present time.

who recently took the examination for

morklna-s of the Doners Barrett failed
to pass and asked for a review of his
work. Thinking that perhaps a clerical
error had been made In Barrett's raae
the. commission ordered a re-marklng
with the result that the same grado
was returned. Barrett was not satle

to overrule the grading and allow him
to qualify. The ooard refused to grant
tne request., -
