Of tho RelleNuc- -Stratford with a large
and distinguished representation OF the
membership I'm attendance. Tho Rich
quartet and the Schmidt Quartet. each
or which had ably contributed excellent
separate programs to meetings Of the
society, combined their artistic endeavors
to make the final gathering Of signal and
memorable interest. Their list Of num-
bcrs was ns follows:
quartet. \ major. on O6 Anton Dvorak
octet, \ major. op T.. .Johan :. Svendsen
Both tic Schmidt aud the Rich Quar-
tets have perfected themselves in the
really difficult art Of ensemble per

notes, however accurately. There must
be organization of tone and technique
into an integrity which uniilcs the art
of the. -four players into the expression
of Il single instrument
This unity Of impression and express
