[Continued from March 3

March 7, SUNDAY. Spent half an hour last night at the Philharmonic concert, crowded and garrulous, like a square mile of tropical forest with its flocks of squalling paroquets and troops of chattering monkeys. Young America loves the Philharmonic. Acres of pretty little half-fledged girls frequent those solemnities for the sake of Mr. Timm or Mr. Eisfeld, whos teaching them music, and they are followed by cohorts of ill-bred juvenile males, whose gabble drowns the music. I heard part of a pretty symphony by Hiller, Voi che sapete, and Vedrai, Carino (substituted when the former was encored), a dismal clarinet and orchestra concerto, and Beethovens overture to Coriolanus, which I could not comprehend. Thereafter to the Century Club: Wolcott Gibbs, Van Wagenen, Rutherfurd, Cozzens, Verplanck, and others.
