increase over the preceding year.
Ticket receipts, despite a greater bloc

for both series at the beginning of
the season, increased approximately
per cent.
DIR. Kinder said at the close of the
season, ''it gives me great pleasure to
announce that one very generous
patron of our orchestra, who wishes
to be anonymous. has already prom
ised us gift which will underwrite
all of our soloists for next year. This
same patrons generosity enabled us
to present the soloistS in the season

to know that if the fund is raised,
We will be able to bring just as dis
tinguished a group of artists to ap-
pear with the orchestra next year"

its Baltimore concerts from one to
three and made its debut in Pitts
burgh. In addition, the orchestra

age and Hopes for Continued Success
In Field Here

~ URING the past week Hans
Kinder brought the 1888
j 1884 season of the National
- Symphony Orchestra to
close. The final symphony
series concert was presented last
Thursday, and the last students con-
cert event took place yesterday.
During the next few weeks it will
be decided whether or not Washing
ton will have concerts by its own or
chestra next year. OF the 100000
needed to underwrite them, $4,000
is still needed. This is still far from
the goal; barely more than two-thirds
of the necessary fund has been con-
tributed or subscribed to date. How
ever, in view of the splendid box Office
record or the orchestra in the season
just closed, as well as the increased
interest in the orchestra in other
cities. those active in the campaign
are confident that Washingtonians
will not permit the orchestra to be
permanently disbanded.
Members of the orchestra associa-
tion are warning against over-confi-
dence. however. The budget for next
season has been cut to an absolute
minimum. Every dollar of the 100000
is needed, and until it is available,
concerts next year cannot be assured.
In the next two weeks, members of
the 20 subcommittee Of the Women's
Committee, and particularly the five
teams of the Campaign Committee,
will intensity their activities that the
remaining $4,000 may be subscribed.
