To-day's pa:> printed more about the performance than they did of the details of the misery and havoc wrong by the recent flood. The critics are unanimous that as a poem of lyric beauty "C'hanto cler" is unsurpassed, and many pronounce it Rostand's masterpiece All pay tribute to the marvellous ingenuity with which the author depicts the play of human weak nesses in "The Barnyard Romance.'.' but doubt whether it will prove a popular dramatic success. that th^ delicate French flavor will be . • at id Mi Bs -.ibnion of paintings by Amen le au ■ ;.- I^odge.

The play, as produced in tne principal cities of America and England. will be translated by Edmond Rostand's son. who has already turned some of his fathers earlier works into graceful Eng lish verse, notably "Les Rcrna nerves" and "La Princess*? lyointaine." Th*> first performance -->f *,"Chante«:ler" in English will be giv^n in ... entirely by an American cast, but with the production. coFiumes and scenery made in Paris in duplicate of the present Paris production.

Before an audience nearly If not quite the size of the one that greeted its first per formance Richard Strauss's "Elektra" was seen for the second time at the Manhattan Opera House last night. The audience gave the music drama much the same reception as on the first hearing— tense attention during the action and great applause " at the end. How much of this interest was due to the music, how much to the acting of Mme. Mazarin. and how much to the mere curiosity excited by the reports of the extraordinary nature of the work, it would be at present impossible to say, though the applause following- Mme. Mazarin's final dance showed that her remarkable efforts were fully appreciated. Mme. Mazarin, as the half mad heroine of the opera, was in every way us effective as at the first performance. Indeed, her portrayal had even grown in inclsiveness and tragic force. She was by turns nsrerish. •wheedling, pathetic, and in her last mad dance the very apotheosis of triumphant re venge. Mme. Mazarin in former operas baa given no hint of whaft her powers might be. In "Elektra" she has shown herself a singing actress of the first order—imasri native. forceful, the possessor of mar vellous technical resource and of almost superhuman endurance. She haj= added to the gallery -..--• portraits a figure that Is unforgettable. There were two changes in last night'? cast. Mme. Gerville-Reache. following the load of Mme. Schumann-Helnk. has found th« part of Klytemnestra more than her voice can stand, and has announced that she will sing it no more. Mme. Dorla took her place last night, and proved, at least vocally, an adequate substitute. There was, however, in her acting little of the re morse stricken, fear haunted queen. The other newcomer was Mr. Devries, who ap peared in the small role of JEgisthus. Mile. Baron was again acceptable as the gentle '■}■—_ othemes, as was Mr. Huberdeau as Orestes. It may be doubted whether the conduct ing of Mr. de la Fuente would have ex cited admiring demonstrations from Mr. Strauss, who has said repeatedly that the orchestra is to do the things usually ex pected from the gingers. Borne unkind eouls have even asserted that Mr. de la Fuente gave a reading of the score that suggested a long experience in the operas of Jules Massenet. Yet he held his musi cians tozether— no easy task— the singers, when they were allowed to, sang and were heard. No doubt for this re lief there were many who were thankful. SING TO HELP PARIS. Manhattan Opera House Bene fit Yields Nearly $8,000. The Manhattan Opera House was crowded from pit to dome yesterday afternoon at the benefit given by Mr. Oscar Hammer eteir. for the sufferers from the Faris flood. The programme opened with the fourth act of Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette," sung by Miss Mary Garden as Juliette, Mr. Dev ries as Romeo, Mr. Dufranne as Capulet.

Mr. Pyne gives a resume ■ involve* and Mr. Procter states bis reason for withdrawal of the gift. -Mr Pyne's statement says: > Seven years ago a plan for a graduate college was proposed and approved by the trustees' committee on the graduate school and published under the authority of Presi dent Wilson. This statement of the plan has been repeatedly reaffirmed by the presi dent and never questioned until Mr. Proc ter's gift had been accepted, last October. There has been no other plan for a gradu ate college ever brought before the board, and there Is none now. Mr. Procter, an alumnus of Princeton, being desirous of assisting in the develop ment of the university, became interested in thi? project. On his own initiative, and unsolicited, he made this magnificent offer of half a million dollars to assist in carry ing out this scheme of a graduate college bo warmly advocated by President Wilson. He made only two conditions — one that the. buildings shall be placed where they will have room to expand and where the studious life of the college shall not be subject to undergraduate distractions; the other condition was that another hair million dollars shall be raised for the Graduate College. The first of these conditions was prac tically accepted by the trustees at their meeting last October by a considerable majority. The second condition has been practically complied with, there remain ing less than 180,966 of the $5)0,000 to be raised at the present time. He has made no other conditions and no interference or suggestion of any kind with regard to the ideals, administration, construction or personnel of the Graduate College, ex cept that he has asked the privilege of erecf.inc one building as a memorial to Ms parents. Such a building would cost not ove- $150,000 at the most. It is safe to say that at least 5750,000 of this $1.000. " v > would have been devoted to endowment. When it was proposed to him by the president that he make certain radical changes in the use ot his gift, although against his judgment, with great generosity and unselfishness he reluctantly acceded to this request. From the start his generosity has met with such an extraordinary reception, his motives have been so misconstrued, his patience has been so sorely tried, that pelf respect has at last demanded the with drawal of his princely gift. The letter written by Mr. Procter to Thomas L\ Jones, chairman of the trus tees* committee appointed to report to the board on Thursday what Mr. Procter's wishes in the matter were, -ivas made pub lic to-day. It says: I beg to acknowledge the receipt, of ths letter of the special committee of nve re lating to the Gradual ' School un.ler date cf January •_'«. asking m<* a- number or questions.

Cincinnati, Feb. 7.— ln the hope that what v-as Princeton's loss might be made Cin cinnati's gain, a movement was started to-day in behalf of the University of Cin cinnati. On reading that William C. Proc ter, of this city, had -withdrawn his offer of $500,000 to Princeton University, several Cincinnati men. without concerted agree ment, laid before Mr. Procter the matter of transferring the haif-million-doliar gift t> the University of Cincinnati. " One suggestion appears to have been unanimously approved by the friends of the university, that if Mr. Procter will transfer the $500,000 to the University of Cincinnati its use might be made contin gent upon the raising of an equal amount through other private sources. DR. ABBOTT'S FORECAST. Sees the Coming of a World-Wide Utopia for All Races. In a lecture in Fublic School 62. at Hes ter and Essex streets, last night, on "The Coming Age," Dr. Lyman Abbott, the ed itor of "'Outlook." painted a glowing though practical Utopia as the future state of the race. In this period competi tion will have ceased, strife will no longer be and co-operation and fraternalism will supplant those things how their antitheses. Dr. Abbott began by outlining history from the Roman Empire down to th pres ent day, showing how the old Reman, or paternal, form of government gave way to the present— the individual— as he called it. which was ushered In by Rousseau, Paine and Jefferson, and this," ise said, was gradually giving place to the fraternal form of government. He then declared that religion had not to do merely with the divine; it had also to do with man. He denned religion at- it had been defined by various bodies in dif ferent parts of the world's history, and said the definition of religion to-day was the "brotherhood of man and the father hood of God." • "He who denies the brotherhood of man,'' said L»r. Abbott, "is as much an lntidel as he who denies the fatherhood of God. I believe the time Is coming when Jew and Christian, Roman Catholic and Protestant, Infidel and atheist, believer and unbeliever, will work together for the common good of humanity, while retaining their individual btliefs." Wo were slowly coming to a form of government, lie said, where each would help the other, when capitalists and labor ers would be one, when voluntary idleness would be got rid of the same as compul sory idleness. MR. LORD RENAMED AS REGENT. Both Republicans and Democrats Nomi nate New York Editor. Albany. Feb. 7.— Republican and Demo cratic members of the Legislature held separate caucuses to-night, and each nom inated Chester 9.

Mr. Lord wua eV?cted to the old Board of Keg«nts in 1537, and for e«eve ! i years served on the finance committee and the library committee.

AIR IS SUB IV AYS. Pumps in London Tubes Make Big Improvement. New Yorkers who use the subway and who have been complaining: ever since it was opened of the quality of the air will probably be interested in "The Lancet's" discussion of "Some Hygienic Aspects of Modern Locomotion." "The , Lancet" an nounces a great improvement in the air in the London tubes. "Thanks to the urgent representations of our public health authorities, the pioneers of the modern accelerated methods of trav elling have been made to realize that, while speed and economy are desirable objectives. : they must not be attained without any re gard at all being given to health considera tions." says the great British medical weekly. "Our readers may remember that some years ago we were among the first to point. out that the new (as they were then) tube railways were becoming a seri ous menace to health, owing to th? accu mulation of human exhalations in the tun nels, stations and lifts: there was practi cally no means of ventilation provide, •■-, engineers having considered that the train going through the tunnel pushed a colon of air in front of it and drew one in be hind it. :/>,;'; ;-" "But they disregarded the fact that th» stale air was not changed for fresh air. Our apprehensions were ridiculed in many quarters, until a scientific investigation of the air 'on the tubes' was made, whJch proved our view to be correct. Among other things, there was shown to be pres ent in the air an amount of carbonic »■ '■' largely In excess of that normally present in the air outside. Our evidence of pollu tion was bused on the simple observation that the air possessed that peculiar stale, frowsy smell common to air badly pol luted by human exhalations. The smell was very obvious even in the street where the lifts were discharging passengers. In epite-of the denials which reached us from the representatives of the tube companies themselves, we had the satisfaction of learning what their real feeling about the matter was. lor shortly after we pub lished our complaints steps were taken la pump out the-jstale. contaminated air of the tub© and to replace it with a fresh supply. ■'The result now is that the condition of the air in the tubes is splendid, and there is no trace left of that stale quality which made it nauseating before the excellent system of ventilation was Introduced. The tubes ire swept out constantly with vol umes of fresh air, and there are not a few passengers whe think that the draft Is excessive and that the supply of fresh air is pushed to an extreme, and that is remedying one evil another has teen in troduced. The mischief done to health tif any) by a strong draft of fresh air needs no attention compared with the well known and marked poisonous effects of breathing air which has infiltrated through the lungs of thousand.*. All this is very satisfactory to those who recognize th« value of ap plying hygienic principles, and we welcome again The obviously though perhaps not completely successful efforts which are be ing made to reduce the nuisances occa sioned by motor traffic. "Not only, for example. have the smell and noxious fumes of the motor omnibus been reduced, but the noise and clatter of the motor machine have distinctly been diminished. This is a matter of common observation, especially what the experience i«? recalled of the terrorizing vehicles which motor omnibuses were when they were first introduced in the streets. They made hide ous noises, emitted a nauseous smoke, dropped oil over the roads, and were. gen erally a source of annoyance and nuisance to the public. The motor omnibus la not a perfect vehicl" now, but it has b«»«>r rreatlv improved, and th» improvements have "related largely to considerations of health. The offences created were so ob- Actionable that there can re no mistake about their having been removed to a larze extent now, and the improvement can scarcely be explained by saying we have got us<»d to the new kind of vehicular traf fic or have resigned ourselves to Its ter rors."
