The New York Mail, speaking of a
water color drawing, executed in this
city, as a caricature on the May Musical
| Festival, now on exhibition in New
| York, SAYS, sThe design shows q keen
sense OF humor in its author. The whole
army Of musicians, vocalists and instru-
mentalists, led by the indomitable chiefs,
Otto Singer and Theodore Thomas, is
rushing to the assault against the walls
whose apex is crowned with cannon,
laundering forth all the difficulties Of
Wagner, Beethoven, Schumann, &c.
| This is the enemy which must be con-
quered. The scaling ladders are against
| The wall, the troops are about to mount,
and victory is already theirs. The pic.
! lures OF the two generals are excellent
| Iikenesses of >the men who did 50 much
to make The festival success. The
whole picture is spiritedly done and de.
serves visit from all those who take
any interest in the musical world"
