The sale Of seats to the Nordica per
formanee which is to be given at the
Auditorium this evening under the
auspices of the pipe organ association
mas proven exceptionally satisfactor
when taken in connection with events
which have transpired during the mast
lew days It was necessary to guar
antee Nordica 81 800 before she could
be induced to come to Topeka and that
IS $500 less than the price which she
mas been receiving for similar enter
tainments The opening sale of seats
was not as great as 1t was hoped that
they would be and Frank Foster he
gan hustling for means for increasing
the sales. A season of bargain sales
was inaugurated for certain seats which
were not the most desirable and several
rows of seats in the rear of the balcony
were placed on sale at 50 cents. This
sale commenced at noon Saturday and
was suspended at noon today and re-
suited in most of the seats offered be-
ing sold.
a special price of IS cents for any
seat In the Auditorium was made to
the students at Washburn college which
resulted in the sale of about 200 seats
to the students of that institution.
I'VE have a little more than 81 800
in the bank as the result of the sale of
Nordica seats" said Mr.. Foster this
morning, and this is extremely graft
flying as it appeared q few days ago as
though we would lose five or six hum
dred dollars on the entertainment
with any kind Of a box office sale this
evening we ought not only be able to
break even but make a little something
for the association. Nordica is as popular
as ever In Topeka and the only reason
that we had to fear that we would lose
IN the entertainment the fact that
the developments in San Francisco dur
ing the last few days have had a depress-
ing effect on entertainments of all kinds.
From the Indications at present the
| Norddca concert this evening will be one
of the best attended events OF the season,
as there are but few seats yet remaining
unsold. These seats. however. are among
the best in the Auditorium and are most
of them in the parquet, though there are
some of the better seats in the balcony
which we're not Included IN those offered
at the so cent rate which have not been
sold The following Is the Nordica pro-
gram for this evening:
