 Afternoon.
 The great musical event of the year comes this evening owoolsey hallwhen the Boston Symphony orchestra will give it's concert at SIS o'clock. The con- cert, it will be remembered, is under the auspices of the department of music of Yale university. and is for the bene- fit of the department. which is endeav- oring to increase it's free scholarship fund. There has been unusual interest in this concert and the demand for tick cts, not only from New Havein but from surrounding towns, is large. Last night, however, it was reported from Stein ert's, where the sale has been going on since Wednesday, that there were some good seats still to be had, a condition not surprising when the great seating capacity of the hall is considered.
 The Boston Symphony finished its southern trip last week, which, by the way, was a most successful one, and played in Hartford last night to large audience. It may be of interest to the people of New Haven to know that they will hear the full orchestra of ninety four men tonight In Hartford. owing to the restricted size of the platform only about 70 men played. The addi- tional 24 men who went to Boston at the end of the southern trip will be brought from Boston to New Haven in time for the rehearsal at Woolsey hall this afternoon at five o'clock. The men who played in Hartford last night to- gether with the conductor, MT. Wilhelm Gericke, and MT. F. R. Conee. the man. ager, come down on the noon train from Hartford and will be quartered at the New Haven house.
 The programme MT. Gericke has pre- pared for the concert is full of inter- est. For. the orchestral numbers there are the Der Freischutz" overture by Weber. ''Coriolanus overture by Bee thovan and the Brahms D major sym. phony, No. 2. The oganists and pianists are much interested in the concert be- cause it contains something quite unique to New Haven people at least an organ and a piano concerto in tht same programme. The organ concerto I is that of Professor Horatio Parker o Yale. Professor Parker will himself b' on the organ bench. As he is an organ ist of great ability there should be noth ing lacking in the performance grea
 organ, one of the greatest in the world q master of the instrument Interpreting his own composition, with background 1 furnished by that wonderful Boston or
 chestra. There surely seems to be noth ing left to wish for.
 The piano concerto will be the bfilli ant and dashing Liszt E fiat, No. 1, anC will bes played by MT George Procto of Boston. MT. Proctor is pupil of famous European master, and is sait to have a prodigious technic. And l requires prodigious technic to pla.
 this concerto. But 1t is not merel. technie; there is much more opportuni ty for feeling and the exercise of tn qualities of true musieianship. Takel all together the programme is almos an ideal one. Those who miss hearing lit will have missed a treat in orchestral organ and piano music.
 l The sale of seats is continued a lSteiileTtt,s on Chapel street from t 6 o'clock to-day and at Woolsey hal
 from o'clock until the concert begins
