 to our city and for the space of three
 days the air was thrilled with song and
 the harmonies of well-attuned instru-
 menss. The large audiences of profess
 sional and amateur musicians and mu-
 sic lovers testified to great deal of
 musical ability in our state and to g genuine and increasing interest in an : art made in heaven before mans crea- tion."
