FOURTHEDITION
THE APOLLO sOUIKTY.
The Prospectus OF Ihe New Musi.
cal Organization which Succeeds

The Prospectus OF Hhe New MusI'
cal Organization which Succeeds
the Philharmonic.
The Willard Club, which name was
changed to the Philharmonic Club, a
musical organization, which has rem
dered some excellent concerts during
the time of its existence, is no more.
For various reasons the managers OF
the society thought it best to disband,
and accordingly held their last public
rehearsal on Thursday evening before
few invited guests. Wilmington,
however, is not to be the sufferer from
this act, but on the other hand a new
and more efficient organization Is to
succeed the old one. 1t will be known
as the Apollo Musical Society, and the
prospectus of the same has just been
published. Mr.. Charles 7. Howell is
President N. r. Benson, Jr., Secre-
tary, with Joseph H. Jones, James IL.
Cameron, Charles T. Howell, N. r.
Benson, Jr., and Samuel T. Smith as
directors. Prof. e. B. Rhoads, who
has done much for the advancement Of
musical talent in this city, has been
engaged as conductor. With the above
mentioned managers and Mr.. Rhoads
at the helm their success is assured.
The season will consist of three con-
certs, to be given in the Opera House
on the evenings of November %, Feb
ruary 8 and April 26, 1888. A new
feature will be introduced at each of
these concerts, consisting OF Appointment
soloist (vocal or instrumental) or other
valuable parts added in conjunction
with the choruses, ETC., by the society,
hich will be quite an addition to the
concerts. The subscription price has
been fixed at $500, which entities the
subscriber to seven tickets of admis.
sion (four in the main auditorium and
three in balcony to each concert of the
season. Any or all of these tickets
may be exchanged for reserved seats in
the usual manner at @ +, Thomas u
Co.'S. book store, on and alter the Mon
day preceding each c',r'crt, by the
payment of ten cents fo e.cn seat 80
reserved. In order to prevent any I'm
fair advantage to those attending the
sale of seats earlier than convenient to|
others, ON the first day of the sale no
one will be allowed to reserve more
seats than belong to three subscriptions;
viz; twelve in orchestra or circle and
nine in balcony.
Messrs. G. f. Thomas & Co. are
to receive subscriptions and
payment therefor. Subscriptions may
also be handed to any of the abo we
named Board Of Directors.
In conclusion the prospectus states
that "The efforts OF the 'Millard Clue
and Philharmonic Society did much
to improve musical taste in the commu-
pity and from numeIo GUS expressions
Of opinion received we believe that a
good organization, such as it is pro-
posed that the Apollo Society shall be
Is q necessity for the continuation of
the work so ably commenced"

PEST HOUSE.

The building formerly used as the office
of the Coal Valley MiningS Company, and
more recently as the club room of the
Athletic Association, located near the cor
ner of First avenue and nineteenth street
has been rendered to the city, free, by Hon.
P. L. Cable, to be used as pest house in
case of necessity. It is stipulated in the
donation, for temporary use. that the
walls of the building are to be covered
over with some material that will prevent
the communication of contagious diseases
that may be treated. The front door on
On First avenue win also be closed, and
the entrance will be made on the east side
of the building.
AS might naturally be expected the
property owners within the immediate
vicinity object to the location of such an
Institution in that locality. 1t is believed
that the citysauthorities have accepted the
conditions and are preparing the building
for an emergency.
