velop later. The May Festivals that have
added to the musical renown of Cincinnati
had their birth under the roof of the old
Sanger Hall, although having their cul-
mination in the gorgeous edifice given us
through tile liberality of Mr. Reuben r.
Springer, where we are proudly happy to
welcome the friends of 70 to-day in this
Temple, in part of their own creation.
IDEA OF THE NEW HALL
At the last May Festival held in the old
Hall sudden storm arose during the prog
ress of the concert, and the noise Of the
rain beating with ten thousand hammers
upon the tin roof was such that Mr..
Thomas was compelled to interrupt the
concert for the tumult to cease. As the
accomplished maestro stood there with
uplifted baton, the pattering rain upon the
roof, and the old building that had been so
hastily improvised for the original Senger-
fest, the idea arose in the mind of Mr..
Springer what fearful calamity it would
be for this hastily constructed and already
insecure edifice 70 fall with such vast

likened to the musical heart of great
music-loving people, whose pulsations
swell with the beats and pulsate with the
emotions born of its throbbings. Who
shall measure the influence such an insti,
tute exerts upon the country? Who shall
calculate, in dollars and cents the pecu-
directly and indirectly, that flows into the
Golfers of the citizen from the location OF
such an institution in our midst? Paris,
without seaport, and long before the es-
tablishment even of railroads or steam
boats, drew TO her gates the trade of the
whole civilized world, to barter in her
matchless bazars and shops for the articles
of luxury and taste that were fashioned by
her cunning artificers. She had, or her
rulers had, the sagacity to tempt from
Italy and the East, workmen skilled in the
manufacture of silk, and porcelain, and
silverware, and jewels of gold, and precious
stones, in the production of Gobelin
tapestries, and pictures, and statuary OF
bronze and marble.
THE FUTURE OF CINCINNATI.
Her palaces were fair to look upon, and
her citizens were courteous to the strangers
that contributed to their opulence. Here
is an example for Cincinnati. We have al
ready this Temple of Music and its legiti-
mate offspring, the College, that is growing
up beneath its shadow. We have the Uni.
versity, the gift of another liberal-minded d
gentleman of wealth, slowly growing into
importance under the fostering hands Of
intelligent Trustees, with its art school, a
puny child as yet, it is true, but which
