cert for the Tabernacle church to be
given Monday evening next to hold 1t at
the church. These plans have, however,
of a necessity been altered, owing to the
large advance sale of tickets, which has
gone beyond the seating capacity of this

Tho sessions of the Musical Alliance
which closed with a grand concert at
t'actoryville last night, were probably the
most interesting and profitable of any
I that have been held by the society in sew
eral seasons. Professor ). s. Myers, tf
! Cleveland, made an efficient conductor and
! the singers made remarkable progress ul-
der his leadership. The Musical Alliance,
which embraces membership from Lack
awanna, Wyoming. Wayne, Susquehanna
! and Bradford counties, is one of the most
! fiourishing musical organizations of the
northern part Of the state. \ few years
| ago an effort was made to have the So
! ciety hold its meetings III Scranton. but
! the scheme was a dead failure so far as
| attendance was concerned. Only a few
| Scranton musicians attended and con-
| trary to expectations the greater portion
| OF the out-of-town members also absented
| themselves.
A musical play will be presented in
! German at Music hall on Dec. s. under
direction of Professor w. P. schilling.

| Preparations for the fourth season of
chamber concerts indicate that the series
Of the present winter will be in every
way equal to those of the past. The
| dates liked for the concerts of 1878 are
| as follows: Dec. 1G. Jan. -, Feb. II and
| March IL The programmes will have the
| same general structure as those of pre-
| ViouS years. But in addition to the usual
| trio and quartette numbers. the perform
| ance of two or more quintettes, will, it
| is hoped, add still further to their inter-
est and enjoyment. The subscription
| price remains the same-ive dollars for
| five season tickets. This gives to ca n
| subscriber five reserved seats for each
| concert. No subscription can be received
| for less than five tickets, but any sub
| scriber may dispose Of such part Of his
| ticket as he n ay not need in whatever
manner he plcascs. Subscriptions may be
