The College has had during the year an
average of five hundred and fifty pupils
over rne-half Of whom are non-resldents.
There are several from foreign countries
and every State in the Union, except North
Carolina, is represented.
The friends of the College will be graft
fed to learn that the institution is i'll
hourishing condition, and that its pros
meets have never been brighter nor its
managers more encouraged, than at the
present time. Applications from persons

ous than at any previous period, and the
second year will open under the most ia
vorable auspices possible. 1t is true there
has been some jarring but this has
amounted to as little as could be expected
in the management of an institution of this
magnitude where SO many persons stran-
gers to each other, were brought together
and expected to work with common pur-
y Sc in view. These little difficulties have
been much larger in the columns of the
newspapers and in the mouths of people
who imagined they had wrongs to redress
than anywhere else.
Mr. Theodore Thomas will return in
few days and enter again upon the work in
which lie feels such an interest He told
his friends in New York, just as he has
many times told those in Cincinnati, that
he regards the successful estab ishment of
the Cincinnati College of Music as the
crowning work of his life, and that nothing
would induce him to waver in the purpose
he has formed Of devoting his immediate
future to that great undertaking.
All the gentlemen connected with the
management of the College are, like Mr..
Thomas. earnestly devoted to the cause. 1t
| is with them labor of love, and the work
has not been SO much lightened by an ap-
probation of its importance at home as by
| the encouraging results seen in the progress
the College is making and the prestige it is
ginning in musical circles in all parts of the
world. Colonel George Ward Nichols Pres
ident of the College and Colonel Peter Ru-
dolph Neff, Treasurer, are always to be
| found at the office attending to the labors
of.the Institution. No business man is more
faithful to the interest of his private af-
fairs. or more constant in his attendance at
his office. than are these gentlemen in look
ing after the interests Of the College Of
Music
The advantages of the College to this city
can not be estimated in dollars and cents
Its influence for good i'll cultivaJing love
of music in placing such advantages for
study within the reach of all classes of our
people, in bringing out the public to con-
certs and festivals, where none but the
pureSl music 10 an Edi tlCu-
| lars, where the real merit of the College is
to be found-its worth is far above price
and can not he counted by a money esti
mate.
Looking at it from purely selfish stand
point however the business man of Gin
| cinnat has all interest in the College which
| he can easily figure out. In the first year
of its existence the College brings an
average of over three hundred pupils from
other places to enjoy its advantages. Sup
pose in board, tuition, clothing and other
essentials. these spend all average of $500
apiece, we have total of $l5O00O per
annum brought to the city through the in
strumentality of the College. 1t is an easy
task to estimate the increase of this sum
as the number of pupils increase with each
year of the successful existence of the Col
lege. Not only are these sums brought to
the city, but correspondingly large amounts
of money which would g. from Cincinnati
to other places are kept at home and saved
to our own people. We mention this dol
lars-and-cents view of the case because there
are people, and not few of them, who are
not able to see beyond such calculation.
The gentlemen who are deyoting their en-
ergies to the work of building up this great
institution are entitled to all aid and en-
couragement from the press and public of
| this city. A failure to give this much is to
be derelict where an important interest of
this city is at stake.
