 The musical event of the summer, which all patrons of music anticipate, is the concert given, through the gen. erosity of Miss Mary Eldridge, for the benefit of the Norfolk Home Mission ary Society, at the Congregational church, which furnishes an ideal set ting for such an event. We are stand ing in holy place when we enter the courts of His temple, and we are deal ing with sacred things when we deal with music, and the selections, which make up these programs, and the artists chosen to render them, combine to produce language which enlarges and enriches the life of the whole com. munity.
 The twenty. second annual concert in this series will be held at Norfolk on Wednesday evening, August 3. The program shows again the artistic taste of Miss Eldridge, who personally super vises the selection of the numbers, everyone of which contains something of peculiar interest to the nearer versed ill musical lore.
 nuC. o1lN0 GIlc soprano, will be the attraction of the evening. Mme. Fremstad, who is en- tirely new to Norfolk audiences, pos. sesses the poetic enthusiasm so neces. sary to a singer. and many laurels have been won by her at the Metropolitan opera house, ill New York. from which she retired about year ago, to take up concert work.
 Eddy Brown, a young viOlinist, of whom Walter Damrosch said, he is destined to become one of the two or three great violinists of the world," will play fol the first time in Norfolk. MT. Brown is AmerIcan- born. but of Russian parentage. He is pupil of the famous Hungarian teacher, Hubay, and the Russian teacher Auer.
 The other names on the program are familiar and will be must cordially re- ceived by the audience.
 The concert will be conducted by the organist of the Carnegie Institute, Charles Heinroth. and Charles Gilbert Spross will be at the piano.
 At twilight the Anthony Abarno trumpet quartette will send forth from the belfry, Melting airs, or mar tial, brisk or grave, producing most entrancing effect, and getting the hear. CTS in tune for that which is to follow.
