...Damrosch rose to the occasion to declare Sir Henry "foremost conductor of Great Britain." Reflecting perhaps what Sir Henry's work would be like if it were like his own, he added: "Think what it will mean to the farmers. . . .

It is too much to expect men in this situation to bind themselves to a club table even for a half year. In the second place it is merely aphoristic to remark that before there...
