At its conclusion, the audience ap

bowed again and again, ri celved a
Ivikc offering of flowers; bowed again
and finally made Powell ascend the
Platform and bow with him. An ova?
tion for both of them followed with
even the orchestra tapping in cordial
approval of the Joint triumph. Mr.
Past? rt.ack conducted with studious
and loyal care, bendli K his whole
energy toward the success of what
proved to be such an evenl In Powell's
lire and. In the musical history of
Klchmohd.
Followed three delightful n'imbcrs
by th" orchestra, two ?if which were
desorlptlvo?one called P"Bvcnlrig
Sounds," by Ohrlsttaan Krlens, in
which the quiet sounds of a drowsy
country village were represented, and
the lau. "Th?- lien." by Bolgonl, was
simply funny. The hen Clucked,
scratched, ruffled her feathers, and.
when I?ord Chantecler appeared,
squawked In Imitation of his clarion
call. After this, Mr. Pasternnck re?
ceived what he so rully deserved?a
hie; bunch ?>f flowers.
Then the intermission, during which
the concert piano was moved to th?
centre of the stage, and Mr. Paster
nack took his stand behind the lifted
top, ?mite hidden front the audience,
in order to conduct Liszt's Piano
?'oncerto In K-flst Major without at?
tracting attention to himself. And
then occurred the most notable event
that has ever taken place In muslosl
? ircles in Richmond. John Powell
entered 'ind the great audience stood
to greet him while It pounded and
? lapped frantically for a long minute.
The boy who had played before th
Wednesday Club sevivnteen years he

each other up and down tho keys with

with a power unbelievable; they made

land th. .- endowed the wood and wire,
{and felt with the life that was In a
I great musician playing the music
gnat musician. Who can describe
such playing. Indeed? Hot Powell
played! Ami the house went mad.
Cheers? rare as they arc?were heard.
Again and again great crashing waves
of applause rose and fell as Powell
appeared, innumerable Hower*?roses,
carnations, and peonies Were handed
up to the bowing boy?for |.j most
of us he Is a boy, great pianist that
he Is?and. finally, Artuur Surlvcnor,
former conductor of the club, appeared
upon the platform, and. in behalf of
Powells English friends who knew
that III was to appear in the city of
his birth, presented to him i huge
wreath of Inured tied with a knot of
the American colors, which these
thoughtful friends had sent across
the Atlantic ncenn to the man whom
they knew as one of the foremost
i pianists of the day.
I When the tumuli and ihe Shouting
died, he played again?this lime a
simple little melodj of other und
younger days. Schumann's "Lonely
Flowers" from his "forest .Scenes."
Zimballst played three little bits of
Caesar Cul, "Oriental." "Caprice V|en
nols" and "Mebcsfreud," and played
them exquisitely, of course, in tones of
ravlslilng beauty, double-Mopping like
two soft voices singing together as
one. and all with "Mozartoan sim?
plicity." He was compelled lo play
again, and he muted his vtoiln and
played "Plerne's Serenade" In the soft?
est tones that ever a man drew from
anv Instrument. Again, what an artist
he Is!
Another Ovation.
Then Powell played again? unac?
companied. When he had finished the
Mazurka by Frederick Charlen Hahr
there was another ovation for him.
lie Immediately looked over the audi?
ence for his old music master, and.
Unding him, would have hjm on the
stuge. He met Ihe gallant, straight,
white-haired musician at the steps,
and, leading him to the centre of the
stage, they both bowed to the thun?
derous applause, and Mr. Hahr?he Is
too "gontll" a man to be .-allrd by the
title which is applied to boxing In?
structors and parachute Jumpers alone
?deseendtd alone, filled with a glowing
and Just pride, but modest as always.
After Powell had whirled through
Chopin's "Polonaise In A flat'' In bril?
liant manner, and brought it to a tre?
mendous finale, the orchestra closed
the concert with the grandeur of
Wasiier's "Entrance of the Oods lo
"Walhalla." from "Pas Rhlncgnld."
Nothing can be ?ald of Vat, save that
it was the gr.-.ndeur and clorv of gre-it
Wagnoe-f undying music played by
ftfty musician." under a master.
Tar Final Cnncrrf.
Of the dual concert, lark of space
permits comparatively little to be
said. Even the orchestra's brilliant
Playing of the overture to Nicolais
"Merry Wives of Windsor" and Massa
nct'l "Scenes PlMori.sqiie" suite run b;
but mentioned, and its delicate shad?
ing and superb rfTccts must he only
suggested, Instcsd of dwelt upon as
! they should be.
The chorus under the accustomed
; haton of Mr. Weitzel, came into Its
i own. and sani; like a different organ!
! xatlon In the part songs. Roth Bath's
I "When Vou Sing" and Elgar'a "Ply,
Singing Rird." were given with strik?
ing effect, particularly sinking, as
they offeree such a marked contrast,
presenting lights and shades, forte and
piano singing. anel Increase and
"ritard" of time that reflected great
rredit upon their director. But in
Coleridge-Taylor's "Sea Drift." it did
the best work that it has accomplish?
ed Pa years. This eight-part song Is
exceedingly difficult, requiring the ut?
most care and accuracy In singing, and
that It was well sung was Indeed a
triumph for Mr. Weitzel. It is safe to
say that any chorus that ran sing the
last line. -What If it wore her lover?"
as this chorus d'd last night has been
wonderfully drilled by. a director who
is a scholarly musician as well as a
trainer of chorus.

Mr. .Martin cans the aria from Puc?

voice from that which ho displayed
last season in singing the same num?

usual In a tenor, even Ot grand opera,
and running up to the higher note.-,
with all the ring that be lacked last
year. In response to the long-con

ence, he sang a bit of the ever popu?
lar ? Donna e mobile." from "Rigoletto.-'
with -Mr. Past-mack ai the piano. Mis
s-cond number, which came after the
intermission, was also Puccini's John?

FOR YOUR
STOMACH'S SAKE
Always Have MI-O-NA
Stomach Tablets in the
House and Some With
You Wherever You Go.
Von can't tell when your stomach dis?
tress is coming on or what minute that
( heavy lump of lead feeling will knock all
the energy out of you.
Keep some MI-O-NA stomach tablets
with you all the time. Take
them any time when you
have belching of gas, sour?
ness, heartburn, dizziness,
heaviness of any stomach
distress, In almost no
time they banish all misery
and make your stomach
feel splendid. For that ex?
tremely nervous condition
caused by indigestion then
is nothing so good.
Hut i he best way to avoid
these attacks of indigestion
or to get riti of chronic in?
digestion, or dyspepsia, or
gastritis, or catarrh of the
j stomach is to start to-day
and take MI-O-NA stom
ach tablets with or after
meals regularly for two-week=.
They cure to stay cured. They put
your stomach in such line condition that
yon can cat the heartiest med without
distress. Ask any pharmacist lor a 50
cent box to-day. Before it is half gone
jyou will realize that here is one Stomach
remedy that does not slop and simply re?
lieve, but goes right on and cures any
stomach trouble you may have.
The Tragic Drug Co. guarantee it.

who, though an American, sings after

power of voice "De Tambour - Major"

hibiting the same flexibility and
breath control that enabled him
t" 1:1 below the bass def In a clear,
resonant tone. Mr. Scott also ns
to sing so successfully "With .Toy the
Impatient Husbandman" from "The

familiar aria from Mozart's "The
.Magic riute." in which he ran down
I .sinned the set professional smile not
1 usually affected by men.
I Mine. Cluck and Mme. Homer made
that most beautiful of all duets. "The
Duet of the Flowers." from Puccini's
"Madam Butterfly," even more beuu
11 fill than had sei med possible. of
course, some of Hie audience felt it
necessary to applaud because tho pre?
lude to the. duet begins with a more
or less national air.
Homer SI?K? Again.
Mme. Homer sang "o Don Fatale,"
from Verdi's "Don Carlos." as superb?
ly as was to bo expected front such a
voice, and such an artist, and. for an
encore, sang Sidney H oner's "Uanjo
Song." accompanied by the composer,
who happens to he her husband. If It
be treason, make the most of It, but
David Blsphani, who sang it very dif?
ferently, also made much more of tho
song than did its composer and that
great m list, his wife.
Mme oiuck sang and sang and sang.
She exhausted all ihe numbers on her
program, and all the music that slio
seemed to have in the City Auditor?
ium, and then Zlmballst himself, who
had plaved several of her accotnpnl
ments, and played them, by the way,
very beautifully, began to accompany
from memory. Mme Cluck was - Mme. j
duel; i( is profitless to describe her
seng?.
The concert closed with that thrill?
ing number?the famous Quartette
gsMHii "RlRoJetlo"?which naturally
sent the hotise almost Into delirium,
but It was already after 11 o'clock
and nothing more could be begged
from the artists.
For .Scars the Wednesday Club used
to advci\ise "Artists' Night." This j
year it might well have announced
that every one would be "Artists'
Concert." for nothing like any one of
them has been heard In Richmond 'n
