THE SALE
Seats for Single COncerts-WOr E of
the Chorus.

the Chorus.
The financial success or failure of the
coming May Music Festival, the directors
of that enterprise say, will be practically
settled within the next three days. The
sale of season tickets last week was salts
factory, greater, in fact, than in previous
years, but the greater part of the revenue
OF the festival must come from the sale OF
seats for the single concerts which begins
al the Big Four ticket office promptly at
9 o'clock tomorrow morning. If this is ND
to the expectations of the gentlemen who
are managing the affairs OF the festival the
latter will, for the first time in the history
of such entertainments in this city, pay
it's expenses. which are necessarily enor-
mously large. To accomplish this has been
the steadfast purpose of the directors, who
have worked unseiishly and unremittingly
The festival chorus will have it's last re-
hearsal at High School Hall tomorrow
night. for the remaining rehearsals will be
held at Tomlinson Hall. Never before in
the history of these festivals has so much
interest been shown by the ehoristers in
their work as this year. There have been
weekly rehearsals for nearly four months.
and the number OF absentees has been very
small and always for cause. The nigh de-
gree OF proficiency shown by tho chorus
in the rendition OF the great works that
are TO be given indicates not only The
correctness with which they have gone into
IL. but also the skill and INTELLIGENCE of
Prof. Arenas teaching.

Men, V1rlx Co..

Mems teas. which are just now coming in
for a large share of abuse, are not so much
or n novelty in the fashionable world as
the essayists would have US believe. To the
cocktail brigade and the men who get up
early in the morning and work until late
at night IL seems rather astonishing that
young men Of average strength and health
should dress up in Turkish costumes and
serve tea TO young ladies in their bachelor
apartments on 4 certain day every week
precisely after the fashion of the women.
but to women themselves there seems to be
nothing at all unusual in the custom.
Formerly. when the bachelors VINO live in
apartments decided 70 return the cOurtesies
OF the various women who had entertained
them during the season. they gave what
was practically an afternoon reception.
which often included a sleignt-of-hand per-
~formance, one or two celebrated singers.
and music by a string orchestra. and al
which one or two female relatives USUALLY
presided to help the bachelors out. From
this point the custom gradually spread. UNI
til the young society men gave teas precise
ly after the fashion OF the women. a few
of the men OF their own species attend
these functions. but nine-tsnths of the peo-
pie present are women. who rush eagerly
at the chance Of seeing the bachelors aparf-
ments. looking at his bric-a-brac, and g0s-
Sipine over his effects. 1t is apparently a
delir4ous and dissipated form of social
amusement. but ii is hardly becoming i'm
the women 70 make fun CT IL. since it's sue
cess is entirely due to their enthusiasm and
faithfulneSS 20 the cause.

Why the Cadets Wear Gray.

The question has often been asked why
the army cadets at West Point wear a
army is blue. The origin of this dis,,nc-
ton dates back TO the war OF 1Sl2-14. when
the commissary-seneral OF the army could
winfield Scotts brigade. and so they were
clad In gray So distinguished was the con-
duct OF the brigade at Lundy's Lane and
a reorganization OF the West Point Mill
tary Academy was made OUT OF complf-
ment to General Scott and his brigade the
uniform OF the corps OF cadets was changed
from blue to gray.
