Numbers on Opening Night

The programmes for the three concerts
of the May Festival were completed last
night and are given below in their official
form. The programmes for the Louisville

to all that the Birmingham management
demanded. But now that the programmes
have been agreed upon, all music lovers
will read them with delight and people who

agreeably surprised to find so many big
numbers embraced in three performances.
No three or four southern festivals put to-
