It is strange that after the repeated censure of the Boston critics, Mr. Gericke should persist in presenting programmes made up as was the one given in Sanders Theatre last evening.

Whatever reasons might be urged in defence of this course in Boston, where the concerts may be considered as an educational series, are futile here.
