states at large had enough vital in
terest in the administration to bring
their directors from Mississippi to Ia
kota, from Massachusetts to Oregon, to
the meeting. After full discussion of

Tact and readiness to go part way
must be attributed to the Philadelphia
Orchestra by the method It has taken
in trying to obtain from the city treas
ury the funds needed to make perma
nent the free Sunday concerts for the

itor. The orchestra has undertaken to
give three such concerts on Its own re
sponsibility, with the hope of soften
ing the hearts of the municipal Coun
cilmen to the point of making the
necessary appropriation. If the city
fathers are half as fond of good music
as most Philadelphia people seem to
be, the orchestra should succeed.

membership of the Portland Opera As
sociation took place last Tuesday night
at Eilers Hall, and was a splendid
success. Dr. C. B. Shaw gave an ad
mirable lecture on Thomas' French
poera, "Mignon," and Mordaunt A.
Goodnough, pianist, played In first
class style excepts from that opera.
The social dance that followed was so
much enjoyed by all who took part
that requests have been received by
the management that similar enter
tainments be held at intervals through
out the season. The chorus of sopranos
and contraltos this season Is composed
of unusually fine vocal material. Mrs.
Jane Burns Albert, the admired so
prano, has agreed to become a chorus
member In tho production of "Mignon."
This is an example that ought to be
widely followed.
