Of the kind. On last nights programme
there was not a single classic master

difficult to see why this should be the
case, for the Music Culture Club was ex-
press1y organized for the purpose of culti-
vatinly taste for high grade music among

receiving certainly warrants IL in giving

connected with the city government of
San Francisco, his popularity in both
political parties making his office subject

ancient customs.
