II II Ne'hy SpSdhih6, Is the lTSt real
appearance of the Philharmonic
M&IM orchestra, which will occur on
Thursday evening at Boyd's the
alter. Mr.. Cuscaden has put much time and
energy into the formation and training of
his body of men, and townspeople are
alert to see the quality of work which he
has done and whether the organization
bids fair to be a permanent feature of our
musical life. The program, which has al
ready appeared in this column. is of much
attractiveness. Most of the numbers are
familiar. With the assistance of Mr.
Calm. who is doing good public work this

joyabe.

tire array got together and gave a pro-
gram. which was distinctly heard in
Texas and drew a crowd of mammoth and
smothering proportions. The largest or

Strauss used in his presentation of "Sa-

twenty men took part and effects were
gotten the like of which had not been
dreamed OF before. For instance, the place
where John the Baptist is losing his head
instead OF pressing the strings of the
eellos, they were simply held with the two
fingers. The tone that came out, or rather
the lack OF tone, battles all description.
The program at the Auditorium will last
Till o'clock. After that the dancing will
begin. The whole affair should be inter-
esting.
