TO THE FESTIVAL.

A, Movement lnauGurated to Charter a
Packet for tho Trip to Cinelnuatti and
is Coming May Festival.
IN the old days when there was an in
dependent Wheeling and Cincinnati
packet, 1t was QUITE the usual thing for
large parties OF Wheeling people to az
tend the great Cincinnati May Musical
Festival. but In recent years the alb
senee OF such facilities has caused the
giving UP OF this enjoyable outing and
best OF musical treats.
The intimatlon that steamboat may
be chartered by a well known Wheeling
musical club and that large and bril-
liant party OF music admirers from this
city VIII probably attend the festival,
will be received with satisfaction by the
public. OF which 80 large proportion
has within the pas. two years shown
marked llberality and an appreciation
OF musical enterprises.
The project IS barely beyond the stage
OF inception, but an outline can be given
now. II possible 1t Is proposed to have
Captain Mack Gamble place the packet
w. ]. Cummings at the disposal of the
musical club which Is considering the
excursion project. and In that event the
excursionists would live on the boat
while in Cincinnati during the several
days during which the festival is held.
II It is NOT possible to secure the Cum
mings or another suitable packet, the
club may make an arrangement for pas
sage down the river on une OF the boats
Of the Pittsburgh & Cincinnati Packet
Company. The desire 10 hear the May
Festival concerts this spring is aug
mented by the fact that the twenty
fifth anniversary OF the Festivals Is to
be celebrated by concerts which It is
said will be far above some OF those In
the past, many foremost artists having
been engaged. AS usual. Theodore
Thomas will be the conductor.
