EVENTS OF TOMORROW
IIICCARDO MARTIN WINS ,
APPLAUSE IN AFTERNOON
Audience Stands While Mr. Stock's
"Festival March.and Hymn to
Liberty" Is Played
An instance of history repeating it-
self was exemplified by last night's
May festival concert when Pasquale
Amato aroused his audience to the
same high pitch of. enthusiasm that he
inspired last year. Nor is the reason
for this difficult to find. Besides being
the possessor of a magnificent voice
and a perfect command of all the re-
sources of a vocal artist, the great
Italian baritone takes such a sincere
and -w.hole-hearted delight in his work
that it is a positive pleasure even to
watch him. His delivery of. "Largo al
factotum" will long remain the most
colorful interpretation of Rossini's
aria ever heard in Ann Arbor. To crit-
icise Amato is synonymous with the
.expression of thanks for a singularly
pure artistic treat.
In the afternoon concert Riccardo
Martin created a furore by his singing
of "Vesti la giubba" from "Pagliacci,"
whieh he gave as an encore. Although
somewhat hampered by the restric-
tiona of a concert stage, Martin de-
livered the clown's lament with great
emotional force. The artistic lack of
effort with which he achieved his clear,
full, high notes, was especially note-
worthy.
Mr. Martin shared honors with the
children's chorus and the Chicago or-
chestra. Uder the direction of Profes-
sor Stanley, the former sang Benoit's
cantata, "Into the World" with precise
attack and good quality of tone. To the
orchestra must be credited a rarely
beautiful interpretation of Schubert's
Unfinished Symphony, as well as sym-
pathetic treatment of Mendelssohn's
"Midsummer Night's Dream."
An interesting feature of the orches-
tra's work in the evening was its con-
ductor's own composition, "Festival
March and. Hymn to Liberty," written
in honor of the 20th anniversary of the
founding of the orchestra, to .which
Mr. Stock has led to a height of
achievement possibly undreamed of by
its founder. Toward the close of the
march the air of "The Star Spangled
Banner" is introduced. At this point
the audience arose and remained
standing until the end of the composi-
tion.
ENTRIES FOR UNION TENNIS
TOURNAMENT CLOSE TONIGHT'
Entries for the Union tennis tourna-
ment will close at 9:00 o'clock to-
night. Only ten men have signed the

exception of men who have places on'
the varsity team. Play in the tourna-
ment will start on Monday afternoon.
All-Fresh Tennis Men Meet Ypsi Today
The All-Fresh tennis team will en-

Ferry field courts at 2:00 o'clock this

rious trip to Albion last Saturday,

DOPE FAVORS MICHIGAN TO
TAKE HONORS IN DUAL MEET
Time for Start of Event Set at 3:00
O'eloc; Track in Fine
Condition
Foilowing a day of somnolence, caus-
ed by a .ay of "no practice," Trainer
Steve Farrell came out into the open
last night long enough to announce
that everything was ready for the
track meet this afternoon, when Syr-
acuse will come to Ferry field for .the
annual outdoor.clash between the east
and the west. And incidentally he let
it be known that .he might spring a
few surprises in some of the events.
Just what these were, he refused to let
out, but it is believed that his secret
will be known when the 440 yard dash
is called.
According to the dopesters, Michi-
gan is scheduled to win the tilt by a
fair margin. The victory gained last
spring and again last winter are cited
as the best reasons for these claims.
Just how big the margin will be is a
matter which even the rival trainers
are unable to guess. The wise ones,
however, predict a lee-way of about
ten points for the Wolverines.
A fast track promises close contests
in nearly every event. Farrell has
been grooming his men slowly and
steadily for this meet and for the
Intercollegiates, and the results should
show in the meet today. The first
event, the 1000 yard dash, will start at
3:00 o'clock.
The following is the lit of entries:
100 yard dash: Syracuse-Bowser,
Kingsley, Foertch, Pope, Rulison, Nich-
ols; Michigan-Bond, Seward, Smith,
Lapsley, Hughes.
120 yard hurdles: Syracuse-Gelling,

UNION ELECTIONS
ARE HELD TODAY
Union members will have the op-
portunity of casting their ballots for
the 1914-1915 officers, today from 9:00

With a membership close to 3,000 the
officials hope to get a vote of more than
half of the total number. In previous
years the balloting at Union 'elections
has been comparatively light, but in
view of the fact that the organization
is now at a critical point in its growth,
every member is urged to cast his bal-
lot in today's election.
Ballots are provided for each depart-
