Another reason why people gene- rally thought that music was a special subject, said Mr. Sydney, was, he
was sorry the say. the number of professors, both ama- teur and professional, who go into ecstacies about any extraordinary composition. The lover of music was one who had music in his soul-Beethoven- and Schubert were among the composers who got into one's soul.
BACH AND COCKTAILS! While in Shanghai a short while ago, said Mrr Sydney," he was in- vited to a highbrow cocktail party and when he arrived there the subject under discussion was Bach; the most austere of composers. (The only place where one could hear the works of Bach with any satisfaction was in a Church). Mr. Sydney dropped a bombshell when he remarked, "To tell you the truth. I don't like "and that was the end of me," he added. "One" could not appreciate Bach at a cocktail party. There were too many people in the world who were "big blus" when it came to talking about music, he stated.

There was a 'rather big crowd but they showed no signs of hostility.
Witness said that he did not see any car parked near the ac- ident, and under cross-examina- tion, he said that this was one of the first things that he looked for. At the beginning, however, before witness arrived there, he admitted that there might have been a car there but obstructed from view by the stationary tramcar.
