suggests that the ushers at the Thomas con-

Fals might be a trifie pro-
g ample time for all to be
seated without interfering with the enjoyment
of those who take pains to be prompt.
This complaint is by no means groundless.
1t is no uncommon occurrence to have half
dozen people tramp down the uncarpeted aisle
in the very midst of some exquisite passage,
causing the ladies to fIown and their partners
to swear inwardly. Thus the hardness of few
destroys the pleasure of many, and is subver-
siye of good morals, by conducting to profanity.
Really this is a nuisance that Should be sup
pressed, and we commend the suggestion to
the managers of the concert. Early corners
