Use of Naval Titles No Right to Rear Admiral Protest Filed
A formal protest is filed with the Navy Department over Civil Engineer Asserson using the title rear admiral on his visiting card. Rear Admiral Ayslar, retired, challenges Asserson’s claim, arguing the title is inappropriate for a civilian engineer and discredits the naval service. Upshur, then serving, and Navy officials discuss the issue, noting it reflects broader debates on rank usage and courtesy in official communications.

Second Taylor Concert At Coleridge Taylor Society Festival
The Coleridge Taylor Society presented the second programme in a festival at Convention Hall drawing two thirds of capacity. The concert featured Hiawatha overture poorly played, two songs by Burleigh and Freeman, Taylor’s Three Choral Ballads with uneven chorus support, African Dances with White on violin, Indian Bell Song rendered unsatisfactorily, and Farewell Hiawatha and Glimpse of Light sung beautifully acapella. The critic notes Taylor’s genius and calls for better instrumental backing and more skilled performances.
