The New York Philharmonic Club is now ia the fifteenth year of its existence. With pardonable pride can Mr. Weiuer, its founder, look back upon an unbroken nuuilier of years of triumph. When first culled into life, it was but a dream of six music-loving enthusiasts, who longed for the opportunity of delving into the immeasurable treasures of a class of music, through which the names of the greatest composers ot all times have been immortalized. The classic beauty aud simplicity of this music was then a closed book to most all the people of this country. It was contemplated in the program of this club to give a few public sub scription conceits during the winter. In thi.i the ancient house of Chickcring showed tbe enthusiasm otherwise found only with extreme youth, uid ottered the most substantial aid toward the realization of these concerts by giving free of charge Chickering Hall with everything pertaining to a first-class entertainment. It was au experiment. It vat not long before the club was invited to neighboring towns ; aud as the fame of these excellent concerts spread abroad, yearly widening ihe circle of friends and admirers, it has become necessary to make the most el.. borate preparations in trying to satisfy the demands for the coming seasou, that it may be possible to go through the whole of the Uuited States and C.nada without slighting their old friends nor neglecting their nsw.
