TROUBLES OF THE MONROE DOC.

There IS no use disgusting the fact that

THE gEsT IN MUSIC.

The love OF the best in music. lilso the
love of high art in every direction, IS q
matter OF cultivation and development.
This applies on less to the community
,lian to the individual. There must be

singers. we are sorry TO say, have not

account, coupled with a comm endable 10

thelr strength and adhesion to the ok
jects and purposes of the club long ago.
Thsn again the annual list of subscrib-
crs 10 the festival concerts ought long
SINCE to have doubled itself. In a pro-
gressive community of q hundred thous-

Eve hundred of its citizens cheerfully to
