NEW YORK8 SYMPHONY
One day a great orchestral compos¬ er set himself the task of writing the symphony of New Y'ork. For many weeks he labored, only to he disRar- Isfled with the result.
"It is too sweet and to suave," he commented. "It has none of the char¬ acteristics of tbis particular, greai city, in spite of my dissonances and cacophony. 1 bave surely not made use of the right instruments."
So he removed the caressing s?ring^ and replaced them witb automobile horns. This brought it decidedly near¬ er tbe effect desired.
Then the birdlike flutes and reeds were out of place and gave way to a brace of trolley gongs. The horns and gongs outbalanced the brasses and tympanl. which in turn made place for a quartet, of ferry whistles.
And yet the discard lacked much of typifying new ,\ew York; s<» a rivet¬ ing machine was added, ami then a rock drill. Ana after many more weeks of thought, worry aud experi¬ ment, the other things that were nec¬ essary for the rounding out of this monumental task.
Wtien the symphony was finally completed and Us composet- acclaimed a greater musician than Iii<;hard Strauss the instruments that were lined up for its interpretation were:
20 flrst auto horns.
10 trolley car gongs.
4 e'evated train nimhles.
