for all at any of the events. Splen- did houses are assured, but the three concerts were arranged for so that all musical tastes might be suited and all music lovers given something that they would appreciate. One big con cert would of course have crowded the house to suffocation and two houses might, more than likely, have been completely sold out. But the design in giving three was to accom- modate everybody, and the idea is working out just as 1t was expected it would. Good seats are yet to be had for all the three events, although the demand for the. final performance, the Samson and Delilah" rendition, is so great that good selections will not be available long. The same is true in nearly as great degree of the opening concert, Monday night, when Maud Powell. the noted violin ist, will play and the finest orchestral program of the season will be rem dered. A large-sized audience, too, is assured at the Symphony matinee Tuesday, when Tschaikowsky's Pa thetic" symphony and other fine or chestra numbers will be played and Mime Charlotte Maconda, the we'll known festival soprano, will sing. But the best choice of seats among the three events remains for this, and festival patrons who desire to hear but one concert are strongly recommend to secure seats for it. They are held at the regular $1.5O rate at the Buckingham pharmacy, where the sale of seats for single concerts opened briskly yesterday and was still on to-day with strong de- mand apparent.
