 Below is the complete programme of the thirteenth annual May festival, which will take place on Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday of next week. This programme is undoubtedly the best that has ever been prepared for any May festival, and there will appear here during those three days more illustrious CTS and instrumental musicians than than have ever been assembled in New Haven at one time.
 The several events have been planned with great care and pain and the fol- lowing list has been in the hands of the committee on programme for months, being added to and modified and chang ed many times. The changes have all been for the improvement of the whole programme, and have consisted mainly in adding names or more prominent musicians or titles Of better compost tions to be sung or played.
 The several stars who come from Flu rope and New York and other musical centers in this country are among the highest and brightest musical lights known, and the less prominent perform CTS are from the best and most promis- ing younger Connecticut artists. It is one of the rules of the association to help bring out such as the latter and the young singers and instrumental musicians who will perform at the two morning concerts are in this class. Their success in presenting the pieces opposite their names Is an assured fact. but there is also the possibility that some of them discover unusually high talents at the same time.
 Reserved seats for the festival will be put on sale to-rnorrow at g o'clock at the Hyperion theater box office. These tickets will be sold to holders of season tickets and will be necessary to insure a good place at the several concerts. The great majority of season ticket holders desire the reserved seat ar- rangement in order that they may have equal advantages with the rest of the festival patrons. This plan has been found more necessary by the May fes- tival managers every year, and a large portion of the holders of season tickets would not buy.if they could not be sure of getting reserved seats.
 Following are the prices:
 Monday evening, ' 30 cents; Tuesday afternoon (seat check for both con- certs). 25 cents; Tuesday evening, 55 cents: Wednesday afternoon lseatI cheek for both concerts), 25 cents; We'd nesday evening, 50 cents, +75 cents and $1.oo. ~'s'r' @"s' tS7'T'
 The reserved seats for the afternoon cover both concerts, and the seats will be held from the beginning of the first concert until the close of the second, so that persons holding checks for them can occupy them at any time they de- sire. They can also be used by one per- son at the first concert, and another at the second concert.
 Patrons of, the festival not residing here may get tickets by sending their orders to Charles R. Bowler of New Ha- ven, Conn, but all New Haveners will have to get their seats at the Hyperion as usual
 Everything is now ready for the big musical carnival and there is every in- dication that it will be the greatest mu- sical event in the history of New Ha- ven. Rehearsals will be held by some of the choruses, the Yale glees and the choir of St. Johns P. F. church. which will sing the opening cantata, and all the soloists are reported ready for the assignments announced in the pro- granr1e.
