i One broken-leg, eight arrests and Inclement weather, of the past two clays checked the skating on streets, 'Bow much Influence the anti-skat-s, lng campaign of officers had in producing' this effect is a '-mooted question, but developments indicate that the fad for sidewalk- and street skating is decidedly on the decline. Tentative plans are on foot to open a rink at Cumberland park under the managemet of the Cumberland Park Amusement Co. It Is proposed to establish the rink nither in the dancing pavilion or in the Woman's building. Whether or not this plan will be carried out on negotiation, that will not be consummated before the latr ter part of the week, said Edward Curd, the president.

LAUNDRY POPULAR PROGRAM Numbers Chosen by Subscribers in Contest Please. BY ALVIN 8. WIGGERS (Musio Critie of The Tennessean) The program given yesterday afternoon by the Nashville Sym phony Orchestra certainly was one that pleased the subscribers, as the numbers played were those which received the largest number of votes In the popularity contest.

To have played all 7fi of the pieces re quested probably jwouWhave re-' quired all day and all night. The rain kept some away, but after the playing of the overture the doors were opened to the public and hundreds came in to swell the crowd appreciably. The audience, though cold at tlrst. In Its show of enthusiasm, warmed up considerably as things progressed, and two of the numbers were encored. Mendelssohn's "Flngal's Cave" overture received ten votes, but every person in Ryman Auditorium waa glnd it was played, and liked F.

Arthur Henkel's interpretation or it. The, occhestra quiie outdid Itself in Schubert perennially popular Symphony (unfinished) in minor (31 votes). It was of the major Symphony that Von Buelow made the remark that it was of "heavenly length." This work is "heavenly" without the "length." After the intermission came the second most popular piece, Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suite, No. 1. which re ceived 13 votes.

It- any one werJ out of a musical mood because of the weather. ''Asa's! Death" was so richly colored by the string section that was an outstanding feature of the afternoon. "Mornlne Mood." of the Mountain were each enjoyable in a different way Dellbes' "Piizlcato Polka." from "Sylvia" had to be repeated, as did also the "Chinese Dance" in the Tschalkowsky "Nutcracker" suite. Mr. Henkel asked the to rise in acknowledgment of the applaue for his work and to let the audience see what a hf saoon looked like.

Messrs. J. J. Scull, James Hud-' son and A. Maurice Loveman did some excellent flute work in the same number and in the "Dance of the Little Bakers." The Russian Trepak received perhaps the most spontaneous applause.

The suite got live votes. The rrelude to the third act of Wagner's "Lohengrin" was requested by four, and made a brilliant ending to a well played program. ELMORE HILL IMPROVING. Elmore Hill, real estate dealer, who was slashed on the throat and jaw by Charles Dickenson, Gallatin pikevfarmer, was reported as slightly, miproved, Sunday night. Assurance was given for his recovery, in the opinion of those who are attending him at his home on the Galltaln pike.
