a large attendance, representing many States,
from Maine to Missouri. The membership is
not restricted to professional musicians, but
amateurs and persons interested in music, are
eligible as members. There were several val
liable papers read, and interesting discussions
had on musical matters The meetings were
notable for the sociability and good feeling ex-
listing among the members, and though in the
discussions differing views were entertained on
some topics, everything was discussed in a
quiet, gentlemanly way, with ut acrimony or
harsIness.
Tho welcome address TO the members was by
Rev A. T. Chester, President of the Buffalo
Female College. During the sessions addresses
were given by Mr.. Rice, of Oberlin, President
on "Music as an Art" by Geo. H. Howard,

ble After the close of his lecture, several
vocal selections, with piano forte accompani-
ment were givec by some of the resident sing
