Announce Conditions for Boott Prize in Musical Competition

The composition must be for four or more voices, and may be either with or without accompaniment, without solos, and either sacred or secular in character. If the former, the type represented by Mozart or Cirerubini is desired.

The prize will be awarded only in ease a proposition is submitted which in the opinion of the judges, is deserving of it. The title-page of each manuscript must be signed with an assumed name or motto, the same to be also written on the envelope of a sealed letter in which is enclosed the real name of the competitor. Manuscripts are to be in the hands of the committee by April 15. ARTHUR FOOTE, Chairman, 31 Green St., Coolidge Cor.   GEORGE A. BURDETT   FREDERICK S. CONVERSE.
