Su Inc L3ulSS symphony StclSStFa Oh
Boston, on last Saturday evening, 1t
shows how the musical taste has been
cultivated and elevated, when from all
sides come expressions of delight and
satisfaction over the performance.
The program as carried out was es-
sentially classical, and the more it
was so, seemingly the more popular.
1t is not necessary to print the pro-
gram as it is 4 thing of the past, but
its melody still rings in the ears as it
came from The Ladies Orchestra.
The cornet. violin, and the soprano
solos not only proved themselves wor-
thy of a place on such n program, but
they enriched it in every way. The
Afternoon at the Races" illustrated
by the Orchestra-including going to
the depot, trains called, rush for the
pieces that some years ago would
have been considered unique, if not
wonderful. This ground is now COW
cred by more beautiful and scientific
symphony. This orchestra could
come again without fear Of empty
seats. Such performances fully DEM
onstrate the need of larger and
better hall, and if we only had such
we would have the assurance that at
least this lecture course of the wom-
ans club would be more popular in
it's price of season tickets. The
course is too high and the seating ca
pacity OF the hall too low to bring
down the price of these season tickets
