recent FeSufAi Likely 10 Provo inc MOst
Successful Ever Held Hero.
Richard Copley, who had charge Of the
business management Of the saengerfest
~ Madison Square Garden. said yester-
day that the financial outcome would
probably prove to be more successful than
any other ever held here. There usually
Is q deficit after one Of these meetings.
"The expenses Of these gatherings arc
much greater than they ever were in
the past Mr.. Copley said. but in
spite OF that there will probably be no
loss. The gentlemen In charge Of the
~Saengerfest were delighted at the public
interest shown In this festival. which
was BY no means confined to the German
American population or singers as II
used to be in the past.
The last preceding Saengerfest hold
here resulted In a deficit. which was paid
by the late William Steinway, who had
also been very generous In other ways.
But the difference between expenses
then and now may be understood from
the fact that the prima donna sang for
$500, and she was q famouf soprano at
that. This year the orchestra Tor the
concerts cost 5000. Then the podium.
which we were compelled to freproof,
cost over SIS 900. So 1t is q sign OF great
success to come through with no fnan-
cial loss"
