The annual route book Of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, which has just been
published. shows that this famous or
ganization will give an even hundred con-

total in past years. It is understood that
the policy Of the management of the or
chestra IN the future viii be to cut down
as much as possible the number of
smaller concerts given outside Of Boston.
This is due TO the belief that the hardship
OF travel these "one-night stands" entail
more than offsets the financial benefit
which comes from these concerts. In the
past 1t has been the custom Cf the orches-
ira to give two concerts on the way home
from its monthly visit TO New York,
