orchestra. he took occasion to say that
contrary TO published report the pres
ent would not be his last season with
the Boston organization, but that he
would continue 10 WELD the directors
baton over that body OF musicians,
until the close of the season OF 1911.
IL. As matter OF fact IL Is just pos.

happy TO retain DR.. Fielder. II he
cares TO stay. the latter having made
himself extremely popular. In Detroit.
DR.. Fielder made a most profound
