some Of the most eminent musicians
and teachers in the State, there will be
discussions on timely topics of interest
to every one at all interested in the
cause of music.
There will be three concerts and two
recitals, and whilst those given at pre-
vious meetings of the Association were
in every way admirable, it is the inten-
ton of President Berg, in conjunction
with the Program Committee, that
those of the coming meeting shall ex
eel all previous efforts.
The new features will be presented
at this meeting-a first-class orchestra
Of not less than 40 men, and chorus

junction with the orchestra, produce a
short cantata 10y an eminent Pennsyl.

and also entities each member to tn,
Annual Report of the work of the As
sociatlOn, in which the essays, discus
sions and business are fully set forth
together with list of the members

The coming meeting will also Civ
an opportunity of visiting one of tn
most delightful and hospitable inlan
cities in the country.
/ Arrangements are already bein
!. made in several sections of the Stat
/ for excursions on the above occasion
