HIPFLEACO., 88 Fourth avenue. l iAZnit ''mS V t-m ':&&& The season of 1892 lias certainly been a very successful one for the Pittsburg 'Ath letic Club, formerly known as the East End Gymnastic Association. Captain Miller feels that he has fulfillcLoe promise made to the club early in the season that he would select an athletic team to represent the club which would prove to be the strongest be tween Detroit and Philadelphia. This team began the season at the A. A. A. open meeting, July 2, where it finished a close second in number of points to the strong Detroit Athletic Club team. On July. 4 at Schenley Park the r. A. C. team captured almost everything in sight At Cleve land on August 13 the team was again successful, once more finishing sec ond to Detroit in points and beating the teams from the Cleveland Athletic Club, Cincinnati A. andG. Club, Allegheny Athletic Association and other strong club teams. At the open meeting of the P. A. C the team capped the climax by scoring over half the points of the meet, the Ath letic Club of the Schuylkill Navy of Phila delphia being second. The team consists of Kimmel andBatche elor for the sprint races, either one of whom is good for 10 seconds for the 100-yarJs dash and, havingthebest of staying powers, they can carry a 220 dash at the same pace. Both will undoubtedly shave their records next year. The middle distance runners are Fry and'Jarrett, and they are invinci ble in this part of the State. The jnmps are Well taken care of by Miller, Jarrett, Batchelor and Boren, and Bumble, -Fry, Jarrett and Boren have done all that couid be desired with the shot and hammer. Close is a comer in the pole vault and Fry is a winner at the hurdles. McGrew can always be relied upon in the one-half and one mile runs. The clnb's great quartet of bicycle riders, Banker, Moore, Gibson and tlie boy wonder, Kennedy Layng, are a formidable team. Their great work st Wellsville, O., and Gibson's riding in the Keystone road race are still fresh in-the minds of those who have kept track of the amateur sporting world. The official A. A. U. records of the teams in each event are as follows: 100-vard dash, Kimmel, 10? seconds; Batchelor, 10V seconds.

Taking the records mgde in A. A. TJ. C. A. JABEETT. games, or games sanctioned by the Union or L. A.

The success of the team is due in a creat measure to the advantage it has for training both winter and summer, the intelligence of the men and last but not least the fact that Captain Miller will not tolerate intem perance. It is anticipated that 1393 will see many more laurels added to the P. A. Cs colors, for within the last few weeks some very promising men have been admit ted to tlic club, which has now a large amount of undeveloped talent in Us ranks. In order to increr.se its membership at this time the initiation lee ha been taken off for a limited period, nnd it is expected that several hundred young men will take ad vantage of. that fact. It will very strange if, during the winter, enough talent be not developed to represent Pittsburg in prize .and place winning in the meets of the At lantic division and the national events. Outside of football, the hill climbing con test of the Keystone Club is attracting the most attention at present. It wa& intended to have held it yesterday, but it was finally concluded that next Saturday would be the better date and in consequence on that day it is expected that several thousand people will witness the attempts of the 30 or 50 riders to climb to the ton of Boup street hill. This hill is formidable. According to the City Surveyor it is "50 feet long and it rises 113 leet in that distance, or a grade of one in six and one-fourth. 'It has no easy spots where the rider can gain speed and breath, and until lately it has never been climbed by a wheelman on' a safety. "Within a week or .so some of the local riders have gone to the top and several may make it on Saturday afternoon, in which case the medal will be awarded to the one making the best time. There will be, two events, one open o all of 'Western Pennsylvania and the other open only to' Keystone '.Club members. Gold medals will be prizes iu each instance, but in the club climb 20 riders must com pete, or else the medal will not be pro vided. The medal for the open event will be presented by Mr. C. W. Hewston, and for the club by O. H. Allerton, Jr. The first climb will start at 3 r. M. sharp, and the club climb immediately afterward. No. lever or rachet-geared machines will be allowed. -, The East End Gym's (Pittsburg A. C.) winter classes will commence to-morrow evening, and hereafter something will be going on every evening. Fencing will oc cupy Monday evening; Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings will be devoted to bells, clubs, apparatus and general gymnastics; Fridav evening will be given over to the boxers, and Saturday evening there will be exhibition work. The hours 'will be from 8 to 9:30. The ladies will have the. gymnasium on Tuesday, and Friday afternoons, and later on they will give an entertainment ,to admiring friend. Prof. Kircbner will have his hands fuller thaa ever lroin now on. The footballists are .eagerly looking for ward to two events of more than ordinary importance., .The first is to be ihe meeting of the A. .A. A. :and P. ArvC. teams on Friday afternoon next It is hardly neces sary to state' that there are indications that there will be plenty of "play hard" orders on both sides and'the "pigskin" is likely to be handled pretty roughly. ' On that "day the P. A. Cs team will he in its .best shape unless some untoward accident occurs. Prof. Kirchner, who is a team in himself, and Dr. Proctor, another full team, will both be in their old positions. It is true that Prof. Kirchaer's ankle is yet weak, but he in tends to "line up" on that day. Then there will be Captain Anil as quarterback, "Buck" Martin as the other halfback, Grant Dibert, fullback, to say nothing of -Riley, Bert Anil and the others of the "rush line." There is no mistake about it, the Gym team will be strong on that day. . On the other hand the A. A. A. team A be a "terror." Kountz, Blunt, Ewing and eight others, all scientific, ac tive and eager to win, willliue up and if THE PITTSBURG ATHLETIC CLUB CHAMPIONS. 8. LAYIfO. A. L, BANKEB. J. T. KIMMEL. C T. C 3. MILLER. CLOSE. they can win, they intend to do it., It was rumored that $1,000 was ready to be wagered that the score would be in lavor of the A. A. A'b. The Gyms are looking for the "man-with-the-mbney" and have their $1,000 ready, and it is au open secret that many smaller amounts are being quietly deposited on this gamr. If the excitement keeps up it is entirely likely thr.t there 'won't be room enough in the park to hold the people. The next big event in the foot ball field will be the ganlo between the East End Gyms (P. A. Cs.) and the Lehigh -Unive"rsitv on Thanksgiving Day. There arc those who predict defeat for the Gyms -en" that day, but the Gyms don't think so, though tli'ey hardly hope to pre sent the Lchighs from scoring once. The A. A. A. are making great' plans for, the winter. The. first consideration ii ihe clubhouse which, it is said, will bo pro vided bv the committee in tho course of a couple of weeks. The lack-of a headqtiar-. ters has been the one great drawback ot the. association, and the time has been rcacneu when it has become imperative that accom modations should be provided. The mem bership of the association has within the last season increased until there are to be found in the ranks all kinds ot talent. To hold the people together something more than a bare field must be provided, and the more commodious the quarters the greater interest will be sustained. The committee promises that tho clubhouse will be pro vided, and it is stated that action would have been taken some time since but for the fact that there has been a difficulty in ob taining the property desired. It is to be hoped that the delay is over, for it is time that winter classes be started and pro grammes arranged for winter entertain ments. The exceptionally fine weather of the past week has put new life into the tennis players. The frosts of a fortnight ago had deadened the courts and the balls, but en thusiasts neer stopped,- and last week they began to think there was time for another tournament, at least the Pittsburg Tennis Club members thought so, and yesterday witnessed a triangular tourney between Messrs. Etfing, Coster and Moorhead and others, each contestant playing every other one. Tho prize offered was an elegant sil ver handled razor, and it was notstranee that the affair created more than the ordi nary amount of interest. An account of the play will be found elsewhere in this issue. The prospect's for next season look brighter, and it is almost an assured thing that there will be at least ten or a dozen open tournaments, besides numerous club affairs in this city, to sav nothing of the tournevs in the surrounding towns. Ther Pittsburg Tennis Club will open the season with an open .tourney, followed immedi ately by an open ladies' tourney. The Pittsburg Athletic CInb (formerly the East End Gyms), will hold an open tourney in June, "and the Oakland Terrace Tennis Club will follow suit. The A. A. A. in tends to follow in the same line, and there will be handicap tourneys, junior tourneys, club tourneys and othor" affairs besides in vitation tourneys, at which the champions of the United States will be nked to take part. The Pittsburg Tennis Club intends to offer more valuable prizes than ever, so as to make its tourneys much more attract ive to the best players, and by the time the season opens it will he in good shape to keep ten or a dozen courts going all the time.

Jotinstown's Team Fails to Appear' for Yesterday's Game. FORTY-TWO TO NAUGHT THE'SCOKE Picked Eleven Tries Conclusions' With the Champions. THE MEN TO BE IN FRIDAI'o CONTEST OOL weather was predicted for yes terday, but the wave didn't come in time, to mate football the most pleasant for the players. Fully 1,500 people, how- ever, enjoyed the game much better than if compelled to sit on the benches in a chilly blast. For some reason the Johns town team, which was to play against the East EndGyms or the Pittsburg Athletic eleven, did not show up at the grounds. 2fone were more disappointed tl.an were the Gyms, but they did the best they could under the circumstances. They knotted aroundjuid got together a secsnd eleven, several from the second feam of the Gyms, from the High School eleven and others consenting to play againvt the' Gyms. The people were given the choice of taking back their money or of seeing the exhibi tion game, and most of them stayed. Half an hour was lost in waiting for the Johns towns to appear, and it was i o'clock when the two teams lined up. It Looked Rather One-SIded. It was to be expected that the invincible Gyms would win against the picked team which was composed of considerably lighter material and had not been practiced together. Yet the game was full of inter est. The Gyms were not required to play their best, but they found their hands pretty full and got a considerable amount of practice out of the affair. The two teams lined up as follows: Picked team. Culbcrtson... Gunibcrt Kernohan...., J. Aull Kimmel Alexander..., Hamilton Bailey , Steen Brecfc Newborn Position. Bast End Gyms. ..Con tor Stevenson ...Rlghtgimrd ....Lett guard.. .. .. .Right tackle.., ....Lnit tackle.... Bight end Left end ...Quarterback-.... .Right half back. ...I.ort l.airimcu-.. Fnllback .Ricliev Lawless Goewcy Keilley Phelan ...J. A. Aull ...C. E. Aull Proctor Martin Dibert The score at the end of the second half was 42 to 0 in favor of the East End Gyms, but the picked team plavcd with a great deal of vim, and made matters interesting. First Meeting of the Athletes. When they came together the first time the picked team had the ball and the Gyms the lower eud of the field. The picked team gained five yards in the wedge and then the Gyms got the ball. Newbern kicked the ball on the third down, and before Martin could get under headway, Newborn tackled him and held him. Then the ball wai passed back to Martin azain and acain Newbern made a beautiful tackle. The Gyms gaining no headway tacked the ball to Breck, but the picked team lost ground and reported to. the kick, on which they gained 15 yardf. In this scrimmage Alexander tncklinf Dr. proctor nicely just as he was abont to make one of his famous runs. Newbern aldo jaade a fine tackle, and by a kick the picked team gained 40 .yards. Martin took the ball and tried to 'get through to the goal line, but in a series of runs by him, Dr. Proctor and Captain Aull, Hamilton, Brcck and Newbern got in some fancy work at tackling. Then Cap tain Aull put the ball under his arm and sailed across to the left, making a touch down. Goal failed. Ten yards were gained on the wedge by the picked team, hut then the Gymus formed a rampart too strong for theni and they resorted to the kick, gaining 25 yards. Captain Aull sent the ball back to Dibert, who cnt across the field and gained 30 yards before he was downed. Then Hamilton tackled Captain Aull as he sprinted diagonally on the left line and later on Martin carried tho ball 20 yards toward goal. Dibert finally carried the ball across the line and another touch down was scored. Goal failed. Good "Worlc by Gumbert. Gumbert got iu some fine work the third time the teams came together. He carried the pigskin full 20 yards to the front on the wedge, and again he took it 10 yards far ther by the assistance of the rush line, but it was all of no account. Steen took the ball 80 yards toward goal by a nice sprint to the right, but here the ball was lost and the Gyms got the ball. Diebert was given the ball and went at 2:40 gait toward goal, when Alexander blacked his way. The hall flew out of Dibert's hands, but Martin picked it up and carried it clear to goal. This time a goal was scored. Newbern made five yaids with the ball on the wedge for the picked team, but lost the ball. Gumbert neatly stopped a run of Martin's, but Captain Aull carried the ball a long way down the field, and though Al exander made a fine tackle, the heavy weights ot the Gyms crushed through' the picked team's line and scored another touch down. Goal failed. The first half closed with the score IS to 0 and the ball 20 yards toward the Gym'sJoul line. In the second half Close played in the right end and Gumbert dropped out of the picked team. After the ball was "kicked ofl" it was only a minute until Captain Aull had It down"beyond the goal line. He took a clear part tothc right and was never approached.' Martin kicked the goal. A Pretty Spin or Forty Yards. Five yards were made on the wedge of the pic'Ked team, bnt the ball went -into the possession of the Gyms and Dibert sprinted to the left, gaining 40 yards before be was brought to the ground by Brcck. Bichey made the touch down by a sale run to the right. Goal failed. Keilley and Lawless both distinguished themselves by courageous tackles. Then the picked team kicked on the third down, and Captain Aull hauled their 'pigskin down from the air and sailed in a zigzag course across the line. Goal was scored. Newton got under about a ton of human ity the next time the picked team tried to carry ho'me the ball. In a very brief time some very lively work on both sides took place, but by slow stages the Gyms got the pigskin to within 10 yards of goal when the picked team took it and made a "safety." The ball then went out to the 25-yard line, and in. the scrimmage that followed Steen hail the breath knocked out of him by fall ing over Dr. Proctor whom he brought down just in time to save a touchdown. Martin shortly afterward took the ball' down to the line and scored the goal by a magnificent kick. Total score 42 to 0. The Columbus Day Game. The teams for the A. A.

Moorhead, Coster and Ewing at the Pittsburg Tennis Club " courts. But one match was played, but it was so close that it was interesting enough to occupy the attention of everybody while it lasted. Mr. Mr. G. TV. B. Moorhrad went up before Mr. Thomas Ewing, who, despite his foot ball, has not lost his experience with the racquet. Ewing took the first set G-2. Then Moor head played a hard game, and won the sec ond set ii-3. The deciding set was very close and intensely exciting nt times. On one occasion Moorhead had Ewing beaten if he had kept up his gait. Then, when Ewing had six' games and Moorhead five,, Hie latter was within one point of tieing the fcoie, but Ewing braced up and non the game and set, T-Ti.

Mr. Sims Beeves, the veteran British tenor, in beginning with a ringing class at the Guildhall School of Music, London, U reported to have laid itress on two points that mean much to the art of song. According to the cable report Mr. Breves "contends that voices at the present day are facrific:d to the cultivation of high notes." And he asserts that a. .complete course of study in operatic and oratorio singing is "a necessary j reliruinary to the perfect rend ering of a simple English b.il'a-1" To have 'the greatest ballad singer of his day hand down to his classes such :ecrsfs of success as these, is exceedingly encourag ing. The high note has long been the curse of vocal art. As Mr. Beeves pointsout.it has often caused a sacrifice of the singer's lower tones.' And its effect on tfie hearer has been worse yet. Such stress has come f o be placed on the cheap effects so easily won bv a long an.l strong high note, that the people generaily are apt to regard this as the distinguishing characteristic of a great singer, losing sight of other technical qualities and ignoring the main point of whether the singer h doing justice to the composer's intentions or not. This state of things is made worse by the artist's greed for applause and the manager's idea that applause is the sole criterion by which the i eoplc's apprecia tion is to be'jndged. And husmuch as the high note is of all things most likely to produce a noisy demonstration in the audi ence (it never touches the heart or gratifies the quiet, refined instincts) the high note presumes more and more on its factitious importance. To those who believe that the people do dceplv .enjoy refined artistic ellorts. en tirely apart from any noisv manifestations they may make, it is comlortiug to hear an expert "in billed singing declare that the most complete artistic equipment is neces sary to'success in that most popular form of music; s It gives a trner view of the stand ards actually prevailing among the people and a truer view of the artistic rank of the ballad.. All too common has become what may be termed "priraa-donna ballad sing ing," in which the naive, simplicity and directness belonging to that form have been wholly ovcrsloughed be mean ingless, artificial ornamentation. Mr. Beeves holds up the ballad as a.conder.satiou of the elements of opera and oratorio.in which the ve,ry simplicity ot the form makes :t all the more needful to draw upon all res-inrces of the art, in order to create the requisite vital sympathr and artistic illusion without any adventitious aid. It is to be hoped that the veteran singer will live long enough to communicate to many pupils his matchless metho 1, louuded on such principles. Mnsic's Tributes, to Columbns. Columbus mnsic is filling the land just now. New York had it Ia3t week in plenty. S.-G.J'ratt's big Allegory at the Carnegie Music Hall on Monday evening, when two Pitlsburgers, Mr?. Bosa Linde and Mr. Homer Moore, distinguished themselves in principal parts; Mr. Melamet's prize can tats, sung by the German societies at the Seventh Begiraent Armory on Tuesday evening, with prize and other bras3 band marches ringing through tlie streets for all thiee days all demonstrated that when Americans celebrate anything they are nothing if not musical. This week Chicago will have her turn. As befits the formal dedication of the great Exposition buildings, the music will be of n higher grade. Mr. George AV.Chadwick's Columbian Ode aud Prof. John K. Paiue's Mach for orchestra" with choral finale the first works of American' composers specfally commissioned under . qnasi-governraental authority will be -Hie prime features of the ceremonies on Friday evening; National song3 and processional mu3ic galore will figure prominently in the Win-ly City all week. Pittsburg comes in for her share, too. Tho official programme for Friday even ing's exercises at. Old City Hall, as given out by Mr. Henry P. Eeker, includes the following musical numbers: "Ode to Columbus," composed by Mr. Joseph C. Brcil and sung by the East End Musical Society and Mr." Homer Moore, baritone; "Hail Columbia," arranged by Lechner, sung bv the Tcutonin Male Chorus, nnder Mr. Louis Schidlo's direction; Pratt's "Columbus Festival Overture," played by Mr. Benjamin Kellers' orchestra; "Colum bia, the Gem of the Ocean," sung by Mr. C. C Corcoran and chorus; Back's ar rangement of "Annie Lanrie," by the Apollo Glee Clnb; an "American Fan tasie," by. the orchestra; the "Suwanee Kibber," arranged by.Mr. Breil for a male quartet, including himself and Messrs. Thomas Kirk, Ed Austin and S. S. Amber son, and, finally, '"The Star Spangled Ban ner," in which the audience is asked to join. No doub't the best Columbus music to be heard here will be the important dramatic cantata composed by Julius Becker, named after the discoverer and to be performed by mixed chorus and orchestra at the concert ot the Robert Blum Maenncrc.'ior in the Allegheuy Turner Hall next Thursday even ing. Director Carl Ahl hassc.ired the work for orchestra himself aud has done everything to make this such a performance as will convince people to quote his words "that there are a lew German male sing ing clubs tint cau not only say 'prosit,' but not themselves to a high, earnest undertak ing as well." The programme will include also two orchestral numbers and a male chorus piece, besides several Columbus tab leaux, and ' wilt wind 'up with some of the social Gemnethlichkeit, for which our Tea tonic citizens are noted. Tho State Association Report. The official report of the third anneal meeting ofthe Pennsylvania State Music Teachers' Association 'is just out. It is a neatly printed pamphlet of about 150 pages and shows improvement over its j.rcdeces sors, particularly in the fullness of the stenographic record of the words of wisdom let fall by the way in the im promptu discussions on the floor. Many pointed, practical suggestions arc thus preserved, in addition to the elaborate essays ona wide variety of musi cal topics, the programme presented and the abundant information with reference to this and other -like associations. The re port is alone worth more than the dollar dues, and for its sake,.if for nothing else, musical folk all over the State will do well to join the association at once, whether they can attend the meeting at Beading irr Dccerabcr, or cot. Mr., Ad M. Foerster, who was the" Secre tary and Treasurer last year, is entitled to great credit for so successfully acquitting himself of the laborious task of getting out the report. As Treasurer, he states the balance on hand from the Pittsburg meet ing to be 5327 85, which, even alter the cost of issuing the report is deducted, is a most gratifying change from the deficits lelt by the two Philadelphia meetings. As Secretary, Mr. Foerster submits, among other tilings, the following reflections, which deserve serious consideration frorn all interested in this most important move ment: xt seems that the most vital purpose of tho nisucintion is tb aid those who are so nlaced .geographically and by circumstances that tncy cinnntuavoine constant intercourse with musicians or greater routine and ex perience, should therefore, avail themselves of tho opportunities which arc annually offered, at these gatmiririgs. But alast they are always represented by a vast minority. Reduced hotel and railroad rates, concerts Riid lectures nt a cost hardly worthy of men tion, and jot the counties, except Philadel phia and Allegheny, seem to exert but a m eager ratio In their effort "to belong to us," Erie has" no. member, Lancaster and j Harrl'bnrg ono each, and thns the singular 1 ui.atliy toward the association could be enumerated. I 'I h movement for a superior and mnr elevated condition of inu?ic in the pnbl! j t-chnol, which was i-xtcnsivoly talked over. should bo received svinpathuticnllv by all sensible mnician.

In accordance wit'.i tiio resolutions paSACI at tbe linsincs meeting huid December 31, the'votes of thank were promptly conveyed to nil person to whom tncy hati been ex tended. Ic would be well to add that tho generosity of Mr. Andrew Carnegie and Councils of Allegheny City for tho ireo uso or Carnegie Hall n.ts very liberally ap pended. Tho financial condition of tho association was vatly improved oytheso acts, nnd wo may hopo that the example sec will have an. advantageous effect wnerevor the associa tion may chance to locate its meetings in the future. It may be woIMokecp in mind tho post sible advisability nf holding biennial in stead of annual meetings. Thnso familiar witli tho finances of thu assocu tion aro com petent to lorcseo that the present resource ttrc fast weakening, and that nothing but an increased membership can overcome thn strain upon the samo channels for supply, which aro now chiefly through the musio trade.

The correction as to tho name is cheerfnlly ms.de. bnt the fact remains that tlio title is an empty one, not justified by tho slight actual connection between the orchestra and tliejr:e.it conductor wuose name is as sume?. Mr. An M. Foerster is at work on a "Sym phonic Odo to Byron" to go after tho Festi val March which, at Mr. Thomas' por onal request, he has already sent for perfoi in ane; at tho World's Fair.

Tue Art Society sketch and prospectus. ia yesterddv'3 paners contained nnch ground for congratulating the member- of that time-honored body, and all others who M interested in the higher Iifo of tho commu nity. With its prist prestige, its present or ganization nnd its lutiiru plans, tho Art Society mav bo looked to .is a leitdfag factor In the development of music nnd the other linearis in our midst. The societv has never been In such a flourishing condition as at present. I)inrcT0.i Caita, of the Now York Seventh Regiment Band, has submitted a proposi tion to a Tacnma syndicate to sell It tho hand for $100,000 guarantee that the syndi cate will pay all expenses and salaries for a period of livo years, the fund to Do nsed for that purpose. Tho idea is to make Tacoma the band's, headquarters, and keep it on tlio Pacific coast a part of each year. Cs.ppa and nis band are playing at the Weturn Washington Industrial Exposition na'r ijc In;r held at Tacoma, where they are scoring a great sneces'. Says tho Jfits.'cnf durier: Dr. Hubert Parry's new cantata "Job" will be a feature of the GIouc23tor, England, musical festival this year. Ic is predicted that London will greet it with enthusiasm next winter. Ic is a highly unconventional piece of work, making Sn'an tbe tenor and Job tlio bas, and giving narrativo to the baritone and divine utterances to the chorus. It con tains no female solo. Three most notable things spoken of are a delight fnl little chant with clarinet obligato in which a shephord boy sings the praise of Job's wealth of goodues-: the tro.ncndons orchesti-al npro-ir or &x.an"j visitation, with the tenor riding over it. all li.te the demon of the torm: and the remarkable bass solo of I( minutes' duration, giving Job's lament tation. The whole thing is described as dramatic in tho extreme, with masterly orchestration and numerous very beautiful choral bits. It is surprising that tho Exposition man agement has heralded Miss Clementine Do Verc altogether as an operatic singer "late prima donna of the American and Italian opera companies," etc. As Pittsburg has long known, Miss DeVcre's American repu tation is exclusively that of a concert and church singer, in which fields alio has earned the right to be called our foremost resident soprano. It was all a mistake, any how, to ask a singer of that class to compete with the varied noises and vastspacesof tho Exposition. They might as well havo brought "Angelut" or "Christ Eofore Pilato" and stuck it up on the band stand. The eternal fitness of things is to be regarded, ceiulenien. Mr. Brooks and his band and ill Ravmnnd, loo have been amply cou llr.nlng first imprc-sions of their qnalitv. The Wagner programme of last Friday even ing was well up to the proper standard for the "classical night," and those nressnt seemed thoroughly to appreciate tho per formance. C W. S.
