BALTIMORE SYMPHONY ORcHEs-
dhA'-EVer since the Boston Symphony
orchestra dropped Washington from its
ilsl OF visiting cities there has been a
music here. Those who have felt this loss
nave now an opportunity to listen to an
organization not SO famous as the Boston
symphony, but one which is composed of
e&ceiIent musicians and which follows in
Its work the same lines as that band of
players. The Baltimore Symphony Orches-
ira mas been in existence for seven wears
ana mas won great honor in its home city.
l. mas now decided to extend it's operations
and has announced a series of concerts III
this city at the National Theater. AS a
body of skilled musicians fully competent
~ illtti pref lHe DeSJ WORKS OF the greatest
masters 1t deserves the encouragement and
support of the musc-loving community
here, as it will afford the only opportunity
OF listening to symphonic work during the
season. Aside from the good work eX-
pected from the orchestra its list of solo,
lists is remarkable, including Hamburg,
Petschor1koH, Leonora Jackson, Nine Sa-
vile and others. An innovation, SO far as
Washington is concerned, will be made for
the first concert, which takes place tomor-
row afternoon. The management has de-
cided to make this a bargain affair to in
troduce the orchestra here and to sell adj
mission tickets at % cents. This is follow
ing the plan of the Boston Symphony Or
chestra in regard to its public rehearsas,
when the rush ticket sale is always very
great. The soiofst tomorrow will be Mark
Hamburg, the young Russian pianist who
has made such a favorable impression IN
New York that he has been styled the
Seigfried of the piano. With so high
reputation to precede him and so fine an or
ganization in support 1t is but fair to sup
pose that the rush ticket sale at quar-
ter of dollar will pack the National for
possibly the most enjoyable concert to be
given in Washington this season. Mr.. GuZ-
man has the tickets for sale in Droop's
music house.
THE PRINCETON CONCERT.-The con-
cert of the Princeton University Glee
Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, to be given at
the Lafayette Square Opera House We'd
nesday evening, December 30 promises to
be quite as much a society as a musical
event. More than twenty of the boxes have
already been subscribed for by prominent
Westinghouse, and there is every reason
to believe that the audience that evening
will be a notably large and brilliant one
The high stand that Princeton has taken
in athletics during the past year gives an
added attraction to the affair, and a promi-
nent figure in the glee club is young Poe
VINO won the foot ball game for Princeton
at New Haven few weeks ago. From
musical point of view the Princeton or
n ha
taken higher stand than ever before and
those VINO are fond of college music as
rendered by college students have a gem
ufne treat In store for them.
