Rider Killed Three Injured

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW ORLEANS, Rb. lo-H. Spears, an apprentice rider from Cleveland. 0., was killed and time lather jockeys, including F. Polk,

riders, were badly shaken up dur- mg tho nith race at the lnir grounds today when their moun fell on the stretch turn. ' ‘Spears died before he could be to the operating room.

in the style of Fancoeurfl-an orig- inal urork by Fritz Krelsler, cleverly imitating old dance forms-sus- tained the unequal contrast per- haps as well as could be expected.

Franz Llszifs complete "Concerto Pathetiquc in E. Minor" followed. This piece, in one continuous move- ment, ls-—to quote the programme notes-"typical of Liszt in his finest vein, from thunderous bombsst to melting and impassioned melody." That describes it better than this reviewer can do, who is not particu- larly fond of thunderous bombast but who could not but admire the skill displayed in its rendition.

"Dance Macabre", the next num- bcr played, is sufficiently well known as an orchestral piece. It lost nothing of its wlerd effect on the pianos. Familiar also, and un- failingly popular, were the Brahms "Cradle Song" and the Waltz from Tschlkowskys Flf t h Symphony which followed, and made up, to- gether with two numbers from a suite by Anton Arensky, the third section of the programme.

The fourth and concluding sec- tion comprised, in addition to the MacNutt composition above refer- red to, Debussy's “Fetes", Krelslers “Caprice Viennols," and “Ritual Fire Dance," by the Spanish composer, Manuel de Pulls. The latter work, transcribed by the performers, is a colourful piece of barbaric rhythm, depicting the worship of the god of fire. It was interpreted magnific- ently, '

So too was the Debussy composi- tion—-a'stlrring and striking work which proved a complete surprise to many who regard Debussy as be- ing "soft" and effeminate. The pro- gramme notes refer to the evoca- tion in this music oi "nebulous dancing figures" who “come with Eight feet marching to the soit 1m- pulscs of tympany and harp and low plucked strings, with ghostly faniarcs of muted trumpets. This description strikes us as being rid-

iculously far-fetched. But it is one of the joys of music that it can be interpreted in a thousand individ- ual ways.

Encores were generously respond- cd to, among the pieces played in this connection being a quite im- pressive Chorale Prelude in the style of Bach, "on a well-known therne"—the theme being no other than our old friend "The Big Bad

Wolf." This is an original com- position of the performers. Other encore numbers comprised “La

Campanella" (Paganniul-Liszt), Lc Jong Leuse," (Moszkowskl), "March" (Prokofiev) and the familiar “Blue Danube" waltz of Straus and Percy Graingens rollicking “Country Gar- dens.”

Mr. Malcolm hails from Toronto, and Mr. God- den from Tunbrldgc Wells, England. Both arc concert pianists in their own right. At first they played to- gether for diversion. Later they found their new interest so engros- sing and their individual abilities so fitted for this combined effect that they commenced practicing with a joint career as a goal. In the spring of 1020 they gave their first two- piano recital at the Toronto Con- servatory Concert Hall. Their sound musicianship and flawless sense of ensemble have won them an envi- able place in the musical world. Much of the enthusiasm expressed over their concerts ims been won through their brilliant transcrip- tions, especially those irom the or- gan works of Bach, which are a fissure of every programme they

IDNDON, Feb. 10.-—Ah I-Breement by the four-power naval conference upon a 86.000401: maximum for battleships was authoritatively call- cd "probable" tonight, following en- ergetic conciliatory efforts by Vis- count Monsell, First Lord of the Ad- miralty,
