THEODORE THOMAS HIGHLAND CONCERTS.
Both concert nights this week brought
unfavorable weather, but Notwithstanding
this the audiences were very large. Even
the very chilly atmosphere OF last night
seemed to have little effect towards keep
ing people away. The programme was one
OF the most inviting ones Of the season, and
the concert was altogether as enjoyable
one as has been given.
THE GEOLOGICAL GARDEN.
The cool weather presents excellent ad-
vantages for a visit to the 400" Many
important additions to the collection of
curiosities have lately been made, and per-
sons who have not been out lately should
make the visit. The summer-night concert
Of Thursday night was postponed on ac-
count of the threatening weather, and the
audience will probably be all the larger
next Thursday
