Railroad Y nj. c. "A. today closed al
arrangements for the entertainments

Friday, March 81. The seasons course
will be the biggest series OF entertain
ments ever promoted by the local as
ISOLATION, and comprises In all ten
numbers-four lectures four concerts
and two literary evenings. An impor-
tant change has been made in regard
to the selection of the numbers. In
stead of choosing either a lecture
course or the concert course. with
numbers common to both, the commit
tee has decided to allow patrons to Sc
lect any numbers they desire, regard
less of the courses into which they
have been CLASSIFIED.
This new arrangement gives prom.
Use to prove Very popular. Any pat

mong the ten as his course, at the reg
ular price of one course, and further
than that may take any other NUNS
bers, ten if he chooses, thus determln>
ing the length of his own course. Ii

made in advance. This admission
charge is exclusive of the reserved
seat charge, either by allotment or for
the season. Any person may take less
than five by paying the regular single
admission charge Of SO cents.
The Chicago Madrigal Club. which
was to have opened the season, can
not be secured, because of conflicting
dates. The club can not get an Odeon
date on any evening that it can give
the time, as it is booked well into the
season. A feature that, however, will
undoubtedly prove more entertaining
than the Chicago organization has
been secured. 1t is the celebrated Has
