II quite within bounds 10 say that
the history OF muse affords no psral-
lei 10 the number, the spOntanelty, and
the hearuness, OF the enconlums OF the
people and press OF this country, con-
cerning the Strauss orchestra, of
Vienna, which is 20 visit Grand Rape
on September %. These ferveut expires
sions Of the public men and public
press OF America, are the result OF Il
mistaken effort made hy certain lll-
advised organization Of musicians 10
prevent the landing of the orchesia, by
appealing 10 law recently enacted by
Congress restraining the coming hither
under contract, OF "labOreIs, mechanics
or artisans" but happily the law ex-
empts from ITS provisions professional
actors, artists, lecturers and singers, "
and i is q unanimous expression Of the
best and highest opinion OF all who
have hea rd the Strauss orchestra, that
u members are necessarily not only
"artists," IN the best sense of the term,
but that the orchestra is, on h whQ6f
without a peer IN the world for the IN
depreciation of the inspiring music, for
the composition and rendering of
which the Strauss famiiy-father and
sOns--have Tor s.Kty-scTen years en-
ioyed unparalleled and unchallenged
fame.
No true music lover Of this city
can afford TO miss such an unusual op-
portunity IS the chance 10 hear their
concert will be.
By reason of the absence of J.. p.
Eddy from the city. Or. ". +. Hoyt
will sing bass at the Park COngrega-
tional Church today.
