Literary and Musical Treat Promis ed
for Next Friday Evening-The
Clubs Ambition.

The Balfe- Moore Club has arranged for
"An Evening With American Poets ana
Composers" which promises to elevate
the club even beyond the high reputation
it attained through its first concert, San
Evening With Irish Poets and Composers. "
The organization has laudable purpose
in view. Its enthusiastic members have
devoted much thought and unselfish en-
deavors to assure the success of their
novel entertainments, which are not given
for gain, but that all who admire the Bale
Moore Clubs ambition may profit by it.
At meeting held Monday night, with
Thomas r. Bannerman, president, in the
chair. it was decided to have the night
with American authors and composers,
May %, at Metropolitan Hall. pro-
gramme was then prepared and finally
accepted, with the strong belief that it
would be a musical and literary treat No
expense was spared in securing talent and
in providing for the comfort of guests.
