...Saens ingenious Danse Macabre, though not finely played, so took the audience as to call forth a demand for its repetition, which Mr. Gericke unwisely yielded to. If the rule against repeats is to be broken, it would seem as if a piece of more real musical merit might furnish the occasion. The Melusine overture was taken at altogether too rapid a pace, and even then the violins showed a tendency to break away from the conductor's time: it was otherwise well done, the delicate runs in particular being evenly, and carefully brought out.

...gathered from it, except that the total amount was very large, but not any larger than that of the '86 crew. Such a one is not what is meant; but rather a careful business estimate, such as an applicant would make to secure a contract, or an architect furnish to his patron who wished him to figure upon the cost of building a house of given proportions.

The two requisites of a journalist are, a knowledge of events that are occupying public attention, and the power to write well upon them.

It is true that the "something else" will cost more. Very well, let it cost more. The hall does not pretend to furnish board less than about $4.50 per week, (vide p. 133 of catalogue), yet for the last month the board was only $3.7 per week. The Board of Directors are certainly to be congratulated in their success in running the hall at such a small cost, but is there not such...
