| Festival.
The management of the annual C. M.
! Il. A. May festival announce in regard
to the program for the festival that,
as In years past, the distribution of
tickets throughout the State, will be
perfectly equitable but as there arc
only 1000 tickets all told. and as they
have already been on sale week, a
note of warning comes from a promir-
ent member of the committee. He urg-
es that New Haven people DESTROYS or
securing ticktes do so at the earliest
opportunity. 1t looks, he says, ais if
there would be an absolute ticket
famine six weeks before the festival.
There promises to be a. larger out-of-
town demand for tickets, too
There are an unusual number Of
novelties on the program this year.
Miss Emma Juch, who Is to give the
song recital on Tuesday afternoon, Is
one of these. It's years since this art
list has been heard in New Haven, and,
indeed, it will be her first appearance
here in a song recital. She is, it is
said, singing superbly.
Then the Coleridge Taylor composi-
lions to be sung by the Guonod Society
on the last night Of the festival Will
be a genuine novelty. Neither work
has been sung in America but once
before. They were given in st. Paul
with tremendous success last year, so
that this will be the first representa-
ton in New England.
Taylor is negro born in England.
and while he had written some things
before, nothing he had done had at
tracted much attention. Both "TIia-
watha's Wedding Feast and MINES
haha"-the syoung man has chosen
Longfellow's poem for his text-ara
said to be full of original beautiful
melody An English critic said OF him
after hearing his composition: Taylor
belongs to no school. He has taken no
composer for model. He is a melodist 1
of an entirely new fresh school,"
The coming of young Heinrich Geb-
hard, the new Boston pianist. who
played the E Minor concerto Of Chopin
with such distinguished success at the
last symphony concert, will be eagerly
looked forward to. When the manage
ment made this engagement they yield-
ed to popular demand.
Kaltenborn's appearance as a con-
ductor will also be most interesting, as
New Haven has not yet heard the
