The capital stock of the association is
SIC, 900, in shares of $50 each. For the first
year of the organization it is stipulated
that the holder of each share of stock is en-
titled to two tickets for the festival to be
given next May, in Tomlinson Hall. Tick
cts for the best seats will be sold to the
general public at the same rate as to the
stockholders. The associations purpose is
to stimulate interest in music i'm this city
and the State. Though II has been deemed
best that its first operation shall be fes-
tival, with chorus, symphony orchestra and
soloists, it is not intended that the organ
ization shall devote itself to giving annual
festivals. and after this year 1t is expected
that it will undertake a series of musical
enterprises in various forms.
Before the festival passive membership
is to be organized, and women will be asked
to interest themselves in 1t particularly.
For this passive membership Walter DAM
rosch will give lecture, either on the SUBJ
ject of Modern Music or Richard Wag
ner." when ne comes to conduct the fes-
tival. Musicians and music lovers in all of
the cities of the State are to be asked to
take part in the movement as stockholders
and ticket-buyers.
Few of the details of the plan for the
festival are announced 1t will consist in
five performances, two in the afternoon and
three in the evening, and one of the pro-
grammes will be composed entirely of parts
OF the Wagner music dramas The chorus
will be organized next month Walter Dam
