BAUER'S LAST CONCERT.
Henceforth Symphony Will Be Mute
at the TiyOIi.

It is matter of regret among the music
lovers OF San Francisco that yesterday
was the last of the Tivoli Symphony cor
certs. Great thanks are due TO Adolph
Bauer for the two series which this city
has enjoyed. He began them at period
when there was absolutely no symphony
here. He shouldered the entire RESPONSE
bility of the enterprise, and although
lately, owing TO pressure of counter
attractions, Mr.. Bauer has continued the
concerts at financial loss, which he has
borne unaided. this fact only increases the
service which he has rendered to the
canse Of music in San Francisco.
The last concert showed how immensly
the organization has progressed since its
commencement. A body of musicians,
however excellent, who only give sym-
phony concert together once fortnight,
cannot be expected to fall at once into the
methods of men who devote their lives to
the Interpretation of the highest works of
art. The Tivoli symphony organization
has steadily improved, however. and from
the beginning the programmes have almost
invariably been wisely and artstically
chosen.
Edgar s. Kelley's "Chnese Suite," which
was performed yesterday under the baton
of the composer, was heard recently at one
Of the Tivol concerts, and second hear
ing con firms the satisfactory opinion then
expressed. The overture to "Oberon"
went well uuder the conductorship of Mr..
Bauer. The prelude" and "Iniermezzo"
from the "Cavalleria Rusticana" were ex-
cellenlly played. The shading was good
and the tempos most satisfactory. Mr..
Schoss, the French horn player, per-
formed "Tharrdu's" first solo beautifully.
The one drawback was the absence OF the
harp accompaniment, for which the origi-
nal is written. The effect was fairly we'll

Solemn Functions of the
New Bishop.
Right Rev. George Montgomery
Will Dedicate a Church and Ad-

Right Rev. George Montgomery will
perform his first ceremonies as Bishop
to- morrow in this city.
At 10: 80 A. NJ. he will dedicate the new
church of ST. Agnes on Masonic avenue
and Page street. near Golden Gate Park.
This handsome little church will have a
good congregation from the vicinity of the
park panhandle. Ashbury Heights and
south of Golden Gate Park. The seating
capacity is about 400, and already a large
number Of the pews have been engaged by
members of the parish to be created next
Sunday. After the dedication a solemn
high mass will be celebrated and an appro-
PIRATE sermon preached. ST. Agnes parish
will either be attended by the fathers of
the Sacred Heart Church on Fell and
Fillmore streets, or the Archbishop may
appoint a pastor Immediately. in which
case IL Is expected that Father Lagan,
through whose efforts the church was
built, will be the rector.
Bishop Montgomery will proceed to
South San Francisco after the dedication
and there administer for the first time the
sacrament of confirmation to large num-
ber of children. This ceremony over, he
will return to st. Joseph's Church. at
Howard aud Tenth streets. where he will
spend the evening with a few thousand
members of the League of the Cross.

Mr.. Held, vice-presideDt of the Exposi-

people of San Francisco. but we, the ex-

for sale in our exhibits, and they cannot
be duplicated in this country, but the
people think our prices too high, and con-
sequentiy we must keep the goods.

OF similar nature the meeting was ad-
Journed without taking action Oh the re-
duction. After adjournment the commit
tee OF five, together with Mayor Ellert,
