Salisbury, A few professional mu sicians augmented the -orchestra at the concert. Rehearsals are held regular ly once a week. Tho engagement of the : . Boston Symphony Orchestra to give a series of concerts in May at the Panama Pacific. Fair in San Francisco Is a remarkable tribute to the place held in the world of music by that famous organization. ; '- Negotiations to this end were begun early In the fall and continued for several months before contracts were finally made. There were many diffi culties to be overcome in Boston. The engagement meant that the en tire orchestra must be "kept together four weeks longer than the usual season. It meant also that Boston must lose through the month of May the Pop concerts which for 30 years have been a peculiar feature of that city. In ordinary years such a trip by the orchestra would have been im possible on account of the engage ments of Dr. Muck, Its conductor, in Europe.' This spring, had not the great war come. Dr. Muck was bound to conduct a series of special perform ances of Wagner's music dramas in the Royal Opera of Dresden during the months of May and June. These performances, however, are not to be given, and Dr. Muck does not have to hurry back to fill professional duties on the other side. The stoppage of all music in Europe has also released some of the principal members of tho orchestra who have European engage ments during the late spring and early summer. The entire personnel of the orchestra goes to San Fran cisco. This comprises 20 violins, 10 violas. 10 'cellos, eight double basses. 16 wood-winds, 17 brass players, two harps and eight men In the percussion department- and extras. Dr. Muck isinow at work on the program for i the concerts, which will be announced In a short time. i Eraile .
