One careful investigator has estimated that
179 concerts will be given in Ne York this
fall and winter. according to the present an
nouncements. which do not include O num-
her OF others that are still to be heard from.
These will possibly add a hundred moro to
the list. and the opera performances will also
make their bid for the patronage OF the New
York public. The operaGoers represent o
much larger number. for the concerts are usu-
ally attended only by persons OF musical taste.

that buy hiRh-prlced seats. They want to see
the stars Of the. company, and the house was
crowded only when the best known members
Of the company sang, So the plan Of giving
