II and ID, because of the association Of the To-
ronto Mendelssohn Choir, mixed chorus OF 2ZO
voices, under the direction Of A S. Vogt. No
singing society of the highest rank owing aIlegl-
to England has ever been heard In New
York. Good judges place the Toronto chorus
alongside of the Leeds and Sheffield Enghsn
chorlses If not in higher position, and abreast
OF any similar choral body in Europe. Inc
choir and orchestra viii share in both pro
tsrammes. On February II the Ninth sym

Buow, and be has never rellnquished his love

influence, especially in the Middle West, in the
last eleven years. This is Mr.. Paur's third year

The current number of THE Musician" a
| monthly journal published by the Oliver Ditson
| Company, Boston, contains long review Of the
history of the Metropolitan Opera House, writ
ten by Mr. Krehbiel which ends with some COM
! parative tables set forth and described as fol-
| lows:
There Is frequently food for reflection in the
driest kind Of statistics The quick glance which
comparative tables make possible often lifts into
prominence a fact which would never have
dawned mere reflection. Let me illustrate
by bringing two tables into juXtaposition. In
the first set down all the operas performed at
the Metropolitan Opera House in the course Of
the seven years during which the stockholders
were their own purveyors; IN the second all the
operas which have found representation in the
course Of the seasons which have been directed
by opera managers who have leased the house
and given such performances as they pleased,
guided only by Difference TO the amusement
committee of the directors, and the passing
whims of the public indicated by the receipts
at the box Office. I omit all record Of perform
ances given by temporary tenants Of the house.
The purpose is to enable the curious inquirer
TO make study Of aims. tastes and motives.
