An effort is making to make a place in New-York
for Theodore Thomas whose tenure in Chicago
seems likely TO be exhausted with the present
season. The period Of his guaranteed engagement
in Tie Western city will be over in few weeks.
Each of the three seasons has used up the whole
amount of money guaranteed, and there seems to
be an unwlllingncss on the part Of the gufrantors
to continue their costly erdeayors to advance the
musical taste of their towns2eope. Mr.. Thomas
has labored sieadfastly and successfully TO build
his orchestra. and there is no question that he
has exerted potent influence for good, not only
in Chicago but also throughout the Northwest 1t
