Special Features of the First Night oil
the May Festival.

1t is not without some difficulty that
the outlining of program for three
concerts can be accomplished to give
each an equal attraction and enjoyment
To say that Mr.. Coffin has succeeded in
getting program of remarkable bal
ance is putting it mildly. With Nine
Reache and the Aida finale the last night
much thought had to be given to the at
fractions of the first night to produce
an equally attractive entertainment. A
perusal of the different numbers indi-
Gates that this result has been accom-
plished. Opening the program with Car
nivali by full chorus there is then pre-
scented that delightful number, "Hymn
to the Madonna" by Kremser, with the
male chorus and solo obligato by Mime,
Marie Sundelius, the enjoyment Of which
is evident. Arranged to coincide with
these two numbers will be Arias by
Nine. Sundelius, Mrs. Babcock. Mr.. Rase-
", Mr.. Cartwright, and Mr.. Nye, an ra-
ray of solo numbers that will exceed
any similar attraction before given. As
an especial number, Mime. Sundelius will
give an aria from La Traviata, which
no one should miss. If the program con-
tanned none but the two choral num-
bers and the five solo numbers it would
be an entertainment in itself. In order
to leave nothing undone to make the
first night entertainment complete, how
ever, there has been added to the above
that remarkable number of Mendelssohn.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Egg Receipts Light and Prices Tend Up
ward.


Boston, April 29.-4ocal receipts OF
eggs are still running Very light for this
time of the year and, as the demand
is good, the supply is barely sufficient
and prices are firm with an upward
tendency. Firmer advices from the out
side markets, which also are receiving
fewer eggs than usual, also have some
influence on the local market. Receipts
of butter are lighter than they have
been, but supplies are ample for wants
and prices do not strengthen. The cheese
market is steady; old cheese is almost
exhausted while the market is helped
on new goods by stronger tendency
in the primary markets and reports of
a light make, due to the backwardness
of the spring.
