The st. Paul Symphony Orchestra,
sixty pieces, with several soloists, will
visit Sank Centre on Wednesday,
April "a, and give matinee and an
evening performance at the Opera
House.
This is the great musical event of
the season and in fact the finest thing
in a musical line that Sank Centre
has ever enjoyed.
The Symphony Orchestra is making
one of its annual tours in special
train furnished by Lewis w. Hill,
president of the Great Northern Rail-
road, who pays the expenses out of
his own pocket. Mr. Hill desires the
people of the smaller towns to enjoy
this fine music, hence he is backing
the Orchestra financially. The Or
ganization visits but three cities be-
tween Fargo and Minneapolis, name
~, Fergus Falls, Sank Centre and ST.
Cloud.
In order to secure the Orchestra for
an engagement here it was necessary
for the business men Of the city to
give a financial guarantee Of $4,000.
This amount was easily raised, but
the indications are that the signers
of the guarantee will not be called
upon to make up any deficit, for local
music lovers are going to patronize
the entertainment in fine style, and
there will be many visitors from out
side cities and towns. The Great
Northern will run specials on the
main line to accommodate Melrose,
Osakis and Alexandria people who
wish to come, and ON the branch to
give Long Prairie and other towns a
chance to participate. The Northern
Pacific schedule will be arranged to
accommodate people living in towns
along that line.
The Orchestra has arranged de-
lightful surprise for the farmers. The
management has turned over to tho
Sank Centre Commercial Club, three
hundred complimentary tickets to b
distributed by that organization to
farmers in the vicinity of Sank Gen.
tire. These tickets for free distribu-
tion are good only for the afternoon
performance, which will be given at
2:3o. The method of distribution win
be as follows:
A committee Of the Commercial
Club consisting (of F. e. Minette,
]. A. Schoenhoff and B. F. Du Bots
has been appointed to look after the
distribution. This committee will be
at the Commercial Club rooms over
Albert Bucher's meat market FROM
IL a. m. to p. M. on Wednesday,
April "a, the day of the concert, to
give out the tickets. Only bona fide
farmers residing on farms will be rec
ognized. Not to exceed two tickets
will be given to any one family. In
order to secure tickets, applicants
must present themselves at the Com
mercial Club rooms during the hours
mentioned above; first come, first
served. This the committee considers
the only fair way to distribute these
tickets. There are just three hum
dred tickets for free distribution, and
if an applicant arrives at the Com
mercial Club rooms too late to secure
tickets, he has only himself to blame.
There are to be no reserved seats
for the afternoon performance. In
the evening there will be no free
tickets. General admission tickets
will be. sold for $1.OO. Seats may be
reserved by paying fifty cents addi-
tional. !. The indications are for
full house at both performances.
