Apparently there is such a general
desire that q series of popular organ
recitals be repeated this winter,
similar to those given last year at
AAAC NOA6ACS@eAOunA Oh1AOAhs 0A1ne ~ h2AS
been decided to arrange for such a
course of four recitals, if the effort
receives the support expected and the
advanced sale of season tickets is large
enough to warrant the success of the
undertaking. The dates for the con-
certs will be the following Wednesday
evenings, probably: Nov. Is, Jan.

F. ]. Benedict of New York city,
who played so acceptably last year,
for three concerts, and W. O. Ham
mond. organist at the Second Congre-
gational church, Holyoke, and who is
also connected with the music depart
ments of Mount Holyoke and Smith
colleges. At each concert there will
be assisters without fail. 1t is planned
to have n Boston reader, q violincellist
or violinist, Mrs Burnham and an
other singer. The purpose of these
concerts is not, primarily, to make
money, though any surplus that re-
mains will go into the treasury of the
Ladies' Aid society of the congrega-

double that of last year, but the price
of tickets for the entire series, instead
of being doubled, will be only $1.4O.
AS it will be impossible to hold the
series, or any one Of the series, unless
about 100 tickets are sold, and be-
cause a sufficient advance sale was
made last year, and, further, because
lit is believed that there are more than
enough music lovers in Stafford who
will desire to avail themselves of
