I1 isw wi:h the greatest gratitienation that the (Committee Sees every day evidences of the keen interest that is being taken by the people outside otf Yhai4ts:ont in the coming Festival son thePe is every likehhood that the earnest and faithful work that has been done and is still being done -will meet with rewards more gener .ous than could have been expected or hoped for. This naturally is having the effect exciting the zeal and vigtor of the va rious conmmit tees so a1s To make it possile for themi to oundo their for agemient given t hem fromi everv~ source has s:imulated them into ar omulishigmire than even they hemselves would have believed pos sible of their own strength and abil iiV. The Festival Chorus is rapidly ap proaching a degree of finished and artistic execution of the numbers ihat are being rehearsed that reflects not only the greatest credit on the Conductor. Mr. Brueschweiler, but contirms the impressioi that is being ,,i\en all over the State that the united and undivided support of the entire city of Charleston is being given to the Festival by every in dividual citizen, each belping in such capacity as his talent and resources ve him the opportunity. :The more that is learned of -the Russian Symphony Orchestra the more fortunate the Musical Commit tee feels in having been able to draw this notable aggregation of musi.al talent so far from New York City the headquarters of the organization which finances them-The Russian Symphony Society. The reports .that come. in are the most favorable as the sources from which they come are the more crit ical, and the highest praise comes from those whose ability to appre ciate and recognize true musical tal ent and artistic skill -cannot be ques tioned. Herr Modest Altschuler, the Con ductor. is a man whose executive abilitv and keen intellect give to his musical nature the tone and balance that render it possible for him to produce the finished and artistic per formances that have excited the praises of half the continent, with an orchestra so large that. however great the musical development and training of .the individual members, the proper co-ordination on the part of each of the fifty members is ab solutely necessary to give produc tions with a maximum of effeet. It is perhaps in this latter capac ity that Modest Altschuler most ex cels. As a musician 'he is magnifi oent. but asta Cond-uctor who plays on musicians as a pianist strikes the keys of a piano, he is superb-per haps beyond comparison in this coun try. in the opinion of many excellent crities. REMTNDER FOR THANXSGIVING Uustom of Placing Kernels of Corn at Each Plate is Gbserved in Some Families. Among some Massaehusetts fami lies it is a time-honored custom to place a few kernels of corn at each cover of the Thanksgiving dinner..ta ble in memory of the Pilgrims. These kernels are eaten standing, before the company sits down to enjoy the feast. It is a short memorial service, but it is a valuable jog to memory. while it fixes an important historical fact in the esildren's receptive minds. In another old Newv England home where a family gathering has been held for nearly a hundred years, and now includes members of four gener ations. Thanksgiving Day finds all the quaint furnishings brought o'ace more to the front. .. Some of the daughters or g rand daughters make it a point to go up fr'om :,:e city a day or twvo in advance of the feast, so s to assist in restor ing the old-time seuings, mQst of whieh are banished to the roomy gar ret during the rest of the year.
