The second annual meeting of the State |
Teachers Music association commences its
session in this city to-day.
In a local point of view the past season
has been one of the most remarkable in the
musical history of New Haven. It is ex-
pected, however, that the climax of musical
success will be reached the present week.
Not only will NewHaven contribute fine ex-
shibitions of musical culture, but adjacent
cities and towns, in fact the entire state
has been taxed to prepare the most elabor
ate musical program ever offered in Con-
nscticut. -.
+. The first meeting at Hartford last year
was an overwhelming success. On the day
for the closing performance Elijah) tickets
were not to be had at any price. The rush
for tickets in New Haven has commenced
even earlier than it did in Hartford. It is
quite probable that many who are thinking
about securing course tickets will not be
able to do SO unless they apply soon.
The price of course tickets is 81, they
| admit to eleven entertainments including
| the "Redemption, which will be given in
the Hyperion on Wednesday evening. The
parquet, parquet circle. and dress circle are
reserved at 81 and 81. so, according to loca-
ton. The holders of course tickets are
very much favored in this respect, as they
can procure reserved seats for fifty centa
less than the general public on showing
their ticket at the box Office this morning.
Beautiful souvenir programs, containing
about fifty pages of matter, will be pre-
sented to holders of course tickets apply
ing to Secretary Fowler at Warner hal
