...Boston Symphony Orchestra gave its third concert in Sanders Theatre last night. The one novelty on the programme was a suite by Josef Suk, highly descriptive and imaginative in its conception. The music was fascinating, to say the least, the composition of the quieter moods, in particular, being rich in tonal qualities and dignified in treatment. Mr. Bogea Oumiroff, the soloist, sang an Aria from Mendelssohn's "St. Paul," and three songs by Dvorak, Brahms and Grieg; the two last-named were especially well rendered.

The basreliefs stand out boldly representing the whole progress of the procession, the chariots, the horses, and the armed youths, then the old men bearing olive branches and the young girls carrying baskets on their heads. From the western frieze, step by step, the figures become quieter in their character, changing from martial scenes to those of religious rites. The whole of this Panathenaic frieze now forms one of the most splendid of the works of art. The sculpturing is delicate and clear while the positions could be hardly more graceful. Moreover there is no superabundance of figures...
