Saint 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.

...soldiering, or in railroading, the Harvard faculty has decided not to require sub-freshmen hereafter to pass an examination in that language, tho' they may if they want to. It will be Latin's turn next, we suppose. Latin is a "fetich," too, and the decree has gone forth at Harvard that the "fetiches" must go. Perhaps some other things may go with them, but that is Harvard's lookout, not ours...
