June 2ist. A series of Promenade Concerts commenced,
under the direction of Herr Karl Meyder. A
complete orchestra of first-rate artistes. Pit boarded, and
Theatre fitted up on the Covent Garden plan. In addi-
tion to the efficient band, instrumental soloists of
European reputation performed nightly. First-rate vo-
calists also lent their aid. The works of the great
masters were given faultlessly, as all who came admitted.
Result disastrous failure ! Another instance which ren-
ders it difficult to deny the assertion of Karl Meyder, the
late Alfred Mellon, and others who have essayed the like
experiment, that Dublin is not a musical city in the true
sense. .
