Souga euj'B of popular tnuBic: "In a general way, I should eiy thai popular inupic bocomcB such whon at ita first hearing it attractB, oither through it rhj thin, oddity or intervals, or through all three, tho attention of tho auditor and crcatcB a desiro for a Eccond hear ing. It then becotuea contagiouB and rages with moro or Ices violenco. If tho composition is based on natural laws it stnndB a chance of living after tho opidomic ia 6ubdued, but if it is ephemeral in character, it dies after running its brief course." According to thia ptatemont tho oar iB the slowest of tho flenses to adopt anything now.

Tho Philharmonic Orohehtra con tinues to improve I boliovo that upon ono occasion I pointod out certain de fects in tho personnol of our orchostra and a rcBtiltant weakness in tho artistic effoct produced. I am glad to bo able to say that many of tho blemishes in u porfect oiiBotnhlo noted at that time woro consplciouB at tho fourth concort only by their absence. 1 am of tho opinion, howovor, that a porfoctly frank recognitinn of tho defects aB woll as of tho good qualities of a porformanco iB tho only way for tho humble critic of artietic matters to bo of any value. In this caso I am fortunate, for tho good qualities bo largoly predominated that tho disngroablo task of enumerating minor failures in dotail may woll bo omitted altogether. In tho first placo tho orcheBtra has vastly improved in material. A judiciouB weeding out of uselosB material with tho beneficial ef fects of constant rohoarsal has made tho band a moro compact and homogenoous body. Thoir attack is moro nearly eimultaneouB, they bond moro rnpidly to tho will of tho director. There ib moro roudineBs in securing changes in dynamic forco and is nccelorandos nnd rallontondos, thoy aro moro in tho graep of tho conductor. Tho first violins as usual played with precision nnd finish; thoy are still tbo most admiiablo portion of tho hand. Rut it would bo invidious to draw comparisons whon so much wns good. The program given below was tho best of tho present winter's series, interesting to student and musician aliko. I am glad to note tho improve ment to the orchestra in accompanying a singer, which has heretofore not been its strongest point. Tho soloist of tho ovening, Mr. Holmes Cowper, was liberal both in eong and in tho granting of en cores. Ho repeated his successes of Inst winter and spring in thiB state, singing with taste and smoothness and adequate emotional and'intellectual interpretation. Ho gave Lincoln concort goers an op portunity to hear tho beautiful Bee thoven "Adolpido" as well as tho well known "Seronado" of Schubert, besides a group of English songs. As oncores ho sang a WelBh Folk Song, and a bal lad entitled "To Mary," I believe, and of no especial musical value. Nevertheless tho singer gave it with appropriato ex pression. The concert ended with tho beautiful Mozart Symphony, one of tho moBt perfect examples in existence of c'assical sonata form. Tho fifth and laat concert of the present serieo will bo given undor tbo baton of Mr. August Hugonow, Monday March 20th, at tho Oliver. On that occasion Mr. Bicknoll Young a woll known baritone of Chi cago, will appear. eO333333333033?9333O00000 MJ IS) CYCLF PHOTOGRAPHS ATHLETIC PHOTOGRAPHS g I PHOTOGRAPHS OF GROUPS EXTERIOR VIEWS () () (S) (3) (S) ooooc NO- ooooo H.
