Owing TO the impossibility Of pro-
viding sufficient seats at Aeollan Han /
for all its patrons and subscribers, the
symphony Society has been compelled
to make an important change in its
concert plans of next season. The Fri
dav afternoon concerts will be trans .
ferred from Aeolian Hall to Carnegie .
Hall. and will be given on Thursday
afternoons instead of Fridays, begin
ming October %. The Saturday evening
concerts at Carnegie Hall will be in
creased from five to eight, beginning
October u. The sixteen Sunday after
noon concerts will, however, be contin-
ued at Aeolian Hall as heretofore, be- .
ginning on October IS.
