the bsrs and the elevation of their
public standard in regard to good music
The principles Of the constitution (which
we're ready are designed TO encourage
and associate with the society all who
love AID are DESTROYS to cultivate music,
for itself. Add to this the zealand abil-
ity OF the members and we may predict
sure success for the enterprise. We learn
that it is favored by the best musicians
of the place, who think such thing is
very much needed here. The roll Of the
society already numbers some fifty or
sixty members. The musical exercises
of the evening fully prov ed that The So

of music rather than its shallow perfor.
