 ! After many months of painstaking la bor, correspondence. changing and inn proving, the programme committee of the Connecticut May festival has com
 pleted the list of attractions and per- formances for that event, which takes place on Monday. Tuesday and We'd , nesday of next week. The results of
 their work is most excellent pro gramme of musical events, one that cas- [ fly surpasses any ever presented before
 to the New Haven or Connecticut pub lie. Twelve big events, including all kinds of fine music and with such vari- ety that there must be some favOrite numbers for everybody, no matter how personal likes or dislikes may run.
 From time 70 time separate events have been announced in the columns of this paper, and these alone have aroused such enthusiasm for the 1903 festival that the demand for season tickets has been reported at an unusu- ally early date and to be unusually strong. It has been necessary to make the number of tickets limited this year, and the amount aIheady disposed of is so large that the balance will probably not last for couple of days longer. On the campus as well as all over the state the demand this year has been much greater than usual, and there is great likelihood of strong Yale repre- sentatfons attending every event.
 Yale has a place on the programme this year that she hhs never enjoyed before. An entire event is to be fur nished by the University Glee clubs, in- cluding the Apollo and Freshmen Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs. Tn some of the pieces to be sung a quartette will appear, in others the full united chorus and string orchestra numbering one hundred and fifty men.
 Connecticut people do not get oppor- tunities such as New Workers enjoy to hear great singers, but at this festival World-renowned baritone will perform, singing, his best selections, and with the aid of an orchestra of picked New York symphony artists will give a recital of song and chamber music. Signor Gui- scope Campanari is the soloist. and only by good fortune was it possible for the committee to get him to sign to come here, as his trip back to Europe was to be made immediately after the close of the grand opera season of the Murice Grau company in New York Miss Hattie Scholder, than whom there is perhaps no more talented child pianist in the country to-day, is to come here again, and at this festival she will give recital that will surpass some of the best recitals that have ever been heard in this state.
 Of great interest to the local music lover is the performance of the great opera of Verdi, Aida" by the Gounod society. The soloists are already known to the. New Haven public, and their rank among the foremost American singers is generally known. The Gou- nod society has been most faithfully drilled on the work and it is now pre- pared to break all it's records for nota- ble performances. Signor Emilio Agra
 monte will himself conduct the presen- tation of the grand opera, which will be sung in English.
 Tomorrow the full programme of the festival will be published.
