SYMPHONY SOClErYS DEFICIT
AND FlAGLER'S OFFER.

DESPITE its endowment. therefore, the
Philharmonic Society Is still dependent
upon the philanthropy OF few generous
and public spirited men and women. The
public cannot. or will not. maintain It.
The same is true of all the other SYM
phonlc orchestras of the city. The Sym
phony Society, with long and honor
able career 10 its credit. ended the sea-
son with n deficit which at the annual
meeting on March 80 was estimated at
SIS. 900. How strong the appeal can be
TO those who take upon themselves the
burden which the public will not bear
was disclosed at this meeting By Mr..
Harry Hardness Flaglers announcement,
made without flourish OF any kind. that
for the future. beginning with May /.
1914, he would personally defray the
deficit of the symphony Society, for
which purpose he was prepared TO set
aside annually IAN amount which will
insure the continuance of It's work on
the highest artistic lines and allow for
future expansion should that seem de-
sirable" This means that Mr.. Flagler,
alone and unalded, IS willing 10 do for
the Symphony Society what the Pulitzer
fund. the guarantors and the members
Of the Philharmonic Society are called
on 10 do for that institution.

NOTES AND COMMENT OF THE MUSIC WORLD
CONCERTS OF THE PAST
SEASON IN MANHATTAN

In a smaller degree what has been said
Of these. our leading orchestral organiza-
tons, is true of all the others, and our
choral bodies as we'll There has been no
adequate patronage Of the Russian or
peoples Symphony orchestras. or Of the
Oratorio Society, the Peoples Choral
Union, the Columbia University Chorus
or the Schola Cantorum. All their con-
certs have been given at a loss, which
has had TO como out of the pockets OF
their hackers. To judge by the attend
ance at the concerts OF the Musical Art
Society. they probably paid expenses a.
least, which is all that is expected OF
them and is particularly gratifying be-
cause OF the unique place which they MI

servers Of experience have seen, too, that

few were financially successful in New

five of these sacrificed artistic TO COM
mercial considerations and gave their
concerts in the Hippodrome at cheap
prices or the chamber music organiza-
tons, the Kneisel and Blonzaley quartets,
having a large clientele of subscribers,
made money, but when Mr.. Longy and
his admirable associates of the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra attempted to
enter the field which Mr.. Barrere and his
companions have laboriously been trying
to make fruitful for years, they were
compelled TO desist by popular neglect-a
circumstance which was due. no doubt,
to the surfeit of music of all kinds. There
was no manifestation of interest in the
concert given by the Minneapolis Or
chestra, and the visit Of the Philadelphia
Orchestra was a charitable affair ar
ranged by an Individual admirer of Mr..
Stokowski. the conductor, for his ex-
ploitation. The audience was large. but
composed almost entirely of persons IN
known to symphony concerts, to whom
the affair made a purely philantnropic
appeal.

COST OF THE PHILHARMONIC
CONCERTS.

The Philharmonic Society, which calls
for attention first as the most venerable
of local concert institutions. has not is
sued a statement of the financial outcome
Of the season, but inasmuch as its losses
have been in the neighborhood OF 100000
a season for several years. and there mas
been no appreciate change in its AFFAIRS
II is more than likely that its deficit Will
reach something like the same amount
this year. 1t is true that the magnificent
endowment which it has received under
the will OF Joseph Pulitzer will largely help
Il out OF the financial difficulties with
which IL has had TO struggle for years.
but that fact can have no bearing on the
story of the last season, for the society did
not receive any of the fund until Novem-
her (when $4,000 of the prospective ST.
100 900 was paid TO the trustees by the ad-
ministrators of Mr.. Pulitzer's estate) and
the cost OF giving the concerts has been
considerably increased since 1903. when the
society was reorganized and the orchestra
placed on a salary basis for twenty-three
weeks In each year. Experience has
taught the manager of the society how 10

More Music Offered
the Public Than
the Public Cam
Pay For.
By u. T.. KREHBIEI.

-HE concert season OF 19l3-l4 has
come 10 an end so abruptly that II
- would seem as If the cause were
mental and physical exhaustion on the
part Of the performers as well as the pub
lie Small wonder. We hear-especially
do We hear this from the journals which
live of the members Of the musical pro-
fession-that there has been an enormous
growth in musical appreciation in Amer
Tea within the last decade. IL would be
easy TO prove this if the number OF opera
performances and concerts given in New
York and elsewhere during the season
Just ended could be accepted unqualihediy
as evidence of the fact. The people OF the
Borough Of New York alone. for instance,
have been fed with nearly 400 per-
formances OF grand opera, over 100 sym
phony concerts OF the first magnitude,
over 20 Sunday night popular operate
concerts I'm which the orchestras OF the
Metropolitan and Century Opera houses
participated at least 80 concerts of cham
Der music, about % choral concerts, and
nj least l75 recitas by singers and instru-
rnentalists II II could be honestly said
that all Of this music has been intellectu-
ally digested and enjoyed there would be
no questioning the fact that the local
community Is enormously. even abnor-
mally, musical. But there are few stub
born facts 10 be considered which argue
rather stoutly against the proposition. AS
suming that money talks in this case,
al in so many others, how is the fact that
the season has been a financial failure
almost all along the line to be reconciled
with the notion that public appreciation
demanded this vast volume Of music?
