IT is interesting to note the unan-
unity with which the. leading critics

two or three greatest orchestras in the
country. Charles II. Meltzer. consid-

safe to say that with the exception of
the great Bostonian organization.
founded by Col. Higginson. no body
of musicians in this country which
devotes itself to symphony. has ex-
.celled the Minneapolis society. But
for local pride, I might he tempted to
add. zone has eaualled it," The Mu-
steal Courier said editorially: Let it
be said at once that the visit OF the

fulfilled the Musical Courier's prophe-
~. for We have today in New York
no playing body and no leader on a
