Organization Of Another ANA
teur Orchestra.
Mr. Liebling's Concert and Some
New Music.
Forthcoming Performance Of the
"Damnation of Faust"

A movement is on foot among the amateur
musicians of this city to organize themselves
into a, orchestra, and it is a movement WHICH
ought to commend itself to- musical reople-
There is ul.Questicn2bly a great aeal ol 'al-
eut here among amateurs wf1ch VIII hl'u W.
yuloptncnt in an orchestra. which IS oale "
the best educational mediums III muslc' aiiu.
though it may not hope to occupy pfonl-
ueut place at once, there is ITO reason why
,,ntler good training it should nut accomplish
al important work and give pleasure to a
great many people. There is material
enough, here to make an orchestra OF at least
fo,ty il, number, with little professional
assistance i'll The leading pieces, and the ma
1erial is such tint with competent drill anu
careful study it ought 10 make be1ter
showing III very short time than some OF
our so-callcd professional orcliestras nave
made. The leadership will be in the ilailus
,f Mr. Henry Schoenfeld, a musician VINO IS
well qualified for this work and composer
of more thai, ordinary ability. Ihc good
amateur players Of the city cannot do better
than lend their encouragement to Luis
scheme. .-..-
