WALLINGFORD.

l Wallingford has now strike on. The
 members Of the musical union who were engaged, ten in number. to com
 prise the orchestra for "rhe Chimes of
 Normandy" which is to be presented
 in the opera house next week by local talent as a benefit for the public library have given notice that they will not of | ficiate on that occasion becouse Mrs. C.. H. Tibbitts. who has gratuitously given l her services as pianist, is not a mem- Der of the musical union. The commit tee appear to be generous in its offers, or at least that is the opinion that some might express, and will furnish their services. if Mrs. Tibbitts will join the union. As Mrs. Tibbits is not looking for dollars and cents in the musical line it is natural that she would de- cline to join the union, and the proba- bilities are that the opera will be pre- scented as advertised next week and that the orchestra will consist of a pianist and a capable one too, and that the public attending will be well satis- fled as though there was a full orches- tra. The action of the members of the union in the matter is being con- siderably criticised and creates much surprise as the entire matter of the opera is for laudable purpose, and no one except the orchestra were to receive any remuneration for thir services.
