The great union concert in University hall last Saturday evening was a decided musical success. The Choral Union and the united choral societies of Ypsilanti harmoniously blended into one chorus, vvith 170 voices. The attendance however was small and the concert resulted in financial loss. The audience, however, looked smaller than it really was, as it takes a good many hundied people to make a good sized audience in University hall, the immense size of whieti makes it look almo?t empty wlien it is not full. The small attendance on these concerts both here and in Ypsilanti must be exceedingly discouraging to local musicians. Musical entertain ments of not half the merit are greeted with crowded houses and if the idea is to take the mouey out ot town, it would seem that the audiences are all the larger: On the other hand, the counter attraction at the opera house Satur.lay evening and the many entertainments calling upon the purses of our people lately gives the reason wuy many did not attend.
