Liuzzl Is certainly a master of both harp and violin and his selections are executed in a manner that showB both natural talent and high skill and ability. His violin work was especially pieastng. Much praise Is due Mrs. Hell who vol unteered to accompany the Signor in! his violin solo, and her work shows that she also Is a muslon of note, that she also is a musician of note. Madame Renaldi again demonstrated that she is the possessor of a soprano voire that is second to but few. and her rendition of "Annie Laurie" last night was Indeed a treat. Her other, songs were also favorably received and her popularity as a singer grows nightly. The pictures for tonight will be up to the standard of the Gaiety ? only the newest and best.

L. a. Cates, had flashed by wireless the news of the collision. By dawn today a fleet of tuga and wreckers had taken up the hunt for the Ligonier. The heavy mist tied up the wireless and all night olng from shore appeal* \ for more Information and forth? def inite location of the ships was flash ed. Morning came with no further news from the Ligonier By dawn the search for the missing vessel was well under way. A reve nue cutter and a wrecking lug had put to sea and other craft were pre paring to Join the search. while every wireless station along the New Eng land roast was snapping out the warning to all ships at sea asking co operation. Besides, the life saving rorps had been called In the hunt, and on every mile of the shore. n *i>ecial patrol to day took up the watch for the crip pled veWKel The vessels came together with ter rific force, according to Captalfi Fol ker and others who remained on the Santurce and brought her to shore. How she remained afloat is a mys tery. * When the freighter limped Into Provlncetown. she was gulping up the ocean through n great 12-foot hole running from the rail to the water line. The I.lgonler had cracked her' bow open. The Saniurce's stern was part ly submerged. One heavy sea would have been enonsh to send her to the bottom. She was beached without delay From the little the five men of the Santurce could tell. It was believed that the oil steamer preceedd from the scene of the wreck to a point off Chatham or Wellfleet The terrific damage inflicted on the Santurce cauBCd fear among Prov lncetown mariners that If the Llgon ler had similarly suffered she might have gdne to the bottom. The news of the disaster came first In a wireless message from Captain Cates of the Ligonier. picked up at Boston : t "On board S 8. Ligonier off Cape Cod about ft o'clock last night. Have taken part of Santurco'a crew aboard but Captain Folker. chief engineer and remainder of her crew remained on board. Will try to beach her at once. ' Fog very thick. Ligonier slightly damaged forward, but will stand by until morning, when, ft not needed, will proceed to destination at Beverly." The Santurce left Boston yesterday afternoon for New York, while the Ligonier was bound from Port Ar thur. where It left April ti. for Bev erly. The oiler la schooner-rigged. 8he was built at Camden.
