The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-12-31

dent the fact that the Worcester pub
lie does patronize what is the best in
music. Although it is still twelve days
before the first concert, more than 100
subscriptions have been received for
the two concerts, and every day brings
more. The generosity of the club in
giving tickets to the honorary and ac-
tive members, 225 in number, makes
much difference in the number of tick
cts sold. for large proportion of that
number would probably have bought
tickets. No expense has been spared by
the club in securing the best artists to
be procured in the country, and it is
felt that the public appreciates that
fact, as well as that upon the financial
success of this undertaking hangs the
future of other concerts to be given
by the club, 1t is interesting to note
that the five best concerts of the win
ter have been planned and carried out
by women, as well as financially
backed by them.
