1The Byron Mauzy Musical Club
3The above Club was organized in the early part of the present year (1888), and now numbers over three hundred members. Its object is to foster a love for the best music, to encourage teachers to bring forward their best pupils, thus striving by competition and emulation, to incite them to ambitious work and to bring forward aspirants for the Lyric stage. A large Orchestra is connected with the club. Concerts are given twice each month, and members are entitled to two invitations for each concert. The fees are $1.00 per quarter.
