CONGRATULATIONS . . . JUDGE MEDINA'S CONDUCT OF THE RECENT TRIAL, IN WHICH FORCES WERE PLAINLY AT WORK TO CRAMP AND PARALYZE THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE, WAS AN ENNOBLING INSPIRATION TO ALL FREE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.

...greatest applause, probably showed these differences most clearly. The first movement was played at a tempo as lively as has been heard in a long time. Yet the staccato notes of the entire string section came out as clearly as one instrument.
