...fact that an entertainment can be given with pecuniary success without a public sale of tickets was clearly proved at the annual Spring Concert given by the Pierian Sodality and the Glee Club in Lyceum Hall on last Monday evening; for the audience was as large as ever, and far more demonstrative. It is possible that the applause was so frequent because there were more personal friends of the performers present than usual, but I am inclined to think that the excellence of the performances themselves was enough to produce this result.

We consider the former plan the better one for various reasons, the principal of which lie in the complete success which has attended the club system, and in its admirable fitness to our wants. We fail to see any sufficient inducement to make us abandon a system so plainly satisfactory to all, and recur to an old method of forming crews, which every one has been very glad...
