THE music to the OEdipus Tyrannus of Sophocles for male chorus and orchestra, by Professor John Knowles Paine, Op. 35, is for sale at the store of Arthur P. Schmidt, 146 Tremont St.

The disputants are, for the affirmative, Messrs. Jameson, '81, and Bradley, '82; for the negative, Messrs. Hart, '80, and White, '83. The public is invited.
