The near approach OF the concert by
the Pittsburgh Orchestra brings with
II an increass Of interest which Is
shown by the large advance sale at
Baumer,s. The publication Of the fine
programme to be presented on next
Tuesday night convinced MI that n rare
treat tTns In store for them.

Everybody knows the splendid Tam

opera the assembling or the court to
hear the contest of.the Minneslngers,
who sang for a prize before the king,

fine composition played by great or

awaiting themselves OF It.
The orchestra win be composed OF
forty five men, as promised, and the
numbers given viii not be beyond any
ones comprehension. tbs an erroneous
idea that classical music Is dull and
tfresoIne, and entirely devoid OF melody.
That this Is not true is shown by the
fact, perhaps not generally known, that
some OF the most popular street melo-

the compositions OF the classical COM
posers.
Everyone attending tomorrow nights

a packed house Is confidently expected
by the management.
