The Lee Monument.

Governor Cameron in his message 10 the
General Assembly recommends that the
State bonds held by the Lee Monument As
sOcation, OF which the Treasurer OF Nir-
ginia is treasurer, be redeemed. This will
give that single association about $4,000 in
money. The Ladies' Lee Monument ASsO-
citation have $4,000. A third association
here have 81, 1000. so the total is about S4G.-
000
What is now necessary is for some active
and influential spirits TO 90 TO work and
consolidate the three associations and their
funds and proceed TO work. Really the
money ought now TO be devoted To the
purpose for which it was subscribed. When
there is an earnest that this is TO be done
more money will flow in.
In Georgia town about Sl00 was de-
posted i'm bank TO the credit Of the Lee
Monument Association, Of Richmond, and
it there remained for some time; but when
it was aScertained that the monument
scheme was dcad-aS thev thought-the
parties withdrew the deposit.
The three Lee monument funds now
amount TO about $4,000. Richmond city
may be counted upon for $4,000 more.
Surely this $3.50 is enough to start with.
The first thing to do is TO unity the three
associations and funds, and the next will
be to get plan for a monument and 90 to
work TO erect il.
The money in hand ought TO be speedily
devoted to the purpose for which it was
subscribed.

The Thomas Concert Last Night.

A brilliant audience OF fifteen hundred
people greeted Mr.. Thomas and his cele-
brated orchestra at Armory Hall last eve
ming. This great aggregation of musical
talent had been secured through the uD-
firing energy OF Mr.. Charles l.. Siegel and
Mcssrs. Ramos & Moses, seconded by the
approval OF the many music-lOvers OF Rich
mond. Almost every seat in the large ball
was filed. and the arrangements for usher
ing aid seating were, considering the i'm
promptu nature OF the occasion. almost
perfect.
Promptly at the hour named (St o'elOck)
Mr.. Thomas took his conductors stand
amid a dignified but flattering applause.
With one unostentatious but graceful wave
OF bis baton, Wagner's overture from
- Tannhauser' burst forth from the large
aSSemhage OF musicians. Every note
seemed to be called forth with mar
velOus taste. as il by n magic wand OF
the conductor. From the beginning to
the cad the concert seemed to be the
perfect expression OF the works Of Wag-
ner. Beethoven, Weber, List. and other
great masters OF music. In every feature

Many doubtless noted his rigid discipline.
It was best eXempliiedto to us in the caution
with which a second yioinist replaced q
broken F. string in the third number on
the programme.
The unfortunate violinist seemed TO
dread not half so much the inconvenience
occasioned as a glance from Mr.. Thomas.
The entertainment was in all respects sue
ceSsfu. The audience could not fail to be
delighted with the charming strains OF ar
