That the innovation of a free concert by the Pierian Sodality was fully appreciated by the undergraduates was shown last night by the crowded condition of Sanders Theatre. The concert was of a popular nature, all the pieces of which were well rendered, as well received and boisterously encored. Of the regular numbers, the selections from the "Geisha" gained, perhaps, the most applause, but "Up the Street,"--which was played with much spirit,--was the most taking piece of the evening. Good judgement was shown in the selection of the pieces and the result was that the concert was much more successful than last year's. The men played in good time with much expression and spirit, and were well together. In short, the orchestra, for this time of the year, is at a high stage of development.

The programme was: 1.  Under the Double Eagle,  J. F. Wagner. 2.  Selections from "Geisha,"  Jones. 3.  (a) Hearts and Flowers,  Tobani.   (b) Au Moulin,  Gillet. 4.  Cruiser Harvard,  Strube. 5.  Overture, Poet and Peasant,  Suppe. 6.  Les Patineurs,  Waldteufel. 7.  Hands Across the Sea,  Sousa. 8.  Fair Harvard.
