leadership of Captain W. H. Loving; Emil Mollenhauer's big Boston band;
the concerts of the United Swedish Singers; the Apollo Music Club's
premised visit from Chicago--the organization is coming intact with all
of its 250 vocalists and its distinguished composer-conductor, Harrison
M. Wild; La Loie Fuller's spectacles, and the engagement of forty noted
organists to appear in Festival Hall in addition to Lemare and Clarence

the official hymn--"A Noble Work"--by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach; the Berkeley
