having them all ever near me was not

MUSICAL COOPERATION
Interesting Experiment Being Tried
BY Two 0rchestras.
Damrosch and Anton seidl-How the
Younger Director Won Success.

An interesting industrial experiment. is
being tried here this winter. Two orches-
tras--tho best orchestras in the city and
two of the best four In the United States
have organized on cooperative basis,
with a view to seeing whether first class
music can be made self supporting. 1t
has been made self supporting in only one
ease. and big fund was required to put
Il ON that basis. The Boston Symphony
orchestra has paid expenses for several
vears. But 1t cost the founder of that Or
chestra $500, 900 to establish 1t.
Thomas once had IA permanent orchestra
here. He grew disgusted with the lack OF
patronage and went TO Chicago, where
some of the wealthy people Of the west are
furnishing the funds necessary to keep his
Chicago orchestra alive. Anton Seidl has
had a more or less permanent orchestra
here for number Of years-eyer since
German opera was shelvcd at the Metro
politan Opera House and Italian and
French opera were put in its place. Seidl 8
orchestra was made up of musicians who
played i'm the Metropolitan orchestra on
opera nights and played with him at other
times Victor Herbert, who is now the
leader Of the band known as Gilmore's
band, used TO play with the Metropolitan
orchestra and Seidl in the same season.
In fact, there was one time when Herbert
played i'm both orchestras and conducted
the concerts of the Gilmore band whenever
IL could get an engagement 1t was "A
scratch band then and had little perma-
nence of form.
The first ambitious effort to establish a
symphony orchestra in New York was
made by Wals,r Damrosch five years ago.
| Mr.. Damrosch was the assistant conductor
| Of the Metropolitan Opera House during
the season of German opera there, and he,
| like Seidl, had an orchestra composed OF
| players selected from the opera orchestra.
! Ii was smaller band than SeidI's. When
both Seidl and Damrosch left the opera
! house, Damrosch persuaded number OF
the rich people of New York Co help him
! put his orchestra on permanent footing.
Damrosch's value lies as much in his
! business capacity and his capacity for
| making friends as in his knowledge OF
/ music and his experience az "a conductor.

Marshall, F. W. Bahnsen and E. w.
Hurst had received the highest num-
Der of votes, upon motion Of DR..
g. L. Eyster. the secretary WAS in
structed to cast the vote Of the meet
ing for the gentlemen named.
The incorporators were instructed
to file the incorporation papers and
call another meeting 40 soon as the
license was received, and after avote
of thanks, offered by c. ]. Sesrle, to
Landlord McHugh for the use Of the
hotel. the meeting adjourned.
Piass and Purposes.
The general plan OF the club met
with the appreciation Of all present,
although the discussion OF the by
laws section by section will bs taken
up at a future meeting. In refer.
ring to the rule against gambling, on
the rigid enforcement Of which de-
ponds the life Of the club. Mr.. Jack
son during the course Of the discus
sion referred to the fact that
there was no proposed rule as
to the use Of intoxica Eating drinks. He
spoke not for himself, he said. as
when he went into an organization
of this kind he did not propose to
assume to dictate how others should
enjoy themselves. 1t was not his
purpose to draw the line against
drinking ia the club rooms, but il
there is no prohibition as to the use
Of drink, there should be some safe
guard against being too liberal. 1t was
Mr.. Jack son. idea that the club was to
be conducted on the principle Of a
we'll regulated home, and in order to
obtain the sentiment of those pres
emit. he moved that an amendment
be made to the section relating to
gambling that no Intoxicating
liquors be sold on the club premises
or by the club. The motion was sec
ouded by T. b. Davis and w. H.
Marshall, but before it was put,
questions were raised on the point of
order, and after remarks BY c. j.
Searle, Hon. f. w. Hurst, Phil
Mitchell, w. c. Maucker, E. H.
Guyer. A. c. Dart, and others, It
was determined on Mr.. Hurst's
suggestion that the members could
not act formally on the consti-
tuition and bylaws until it was
incorporated, and the matter will
then be taken up section by section
and disposed Of.
After the meeting last night .
proposition was obtained from Peter
Fries for the erection by him Of Q
club house. according to the plans Of
the club. on his Eighteenth street
lot. or one on Second avenue oppo-
site Spencer square. which is likely
to be received with favor and which
may offer q practical solution of the
question as to accommodations.
In any event the Rock Island club
is q conner.

onto anyone in particular. although
he always had his suspicious.
1t was the intention at the time to
make it interesting for the guilty

But the matter finally died away and
nothing was thought Of it until the
receipt OF q letter the other day
from Philadelphia. by Chief John

explained. The letter is addresse
