They were well rewarded for their service, and the pasteboards will be of fered for sale. It Is said, Just as though tomorrow's concert was a regular theat rical attraction. The fact that most of the free tickets for the orchestra bear the announcement that the ticket must not be offered for sale does not appear to deter the "specs" In the least. Many of them on Ilroad street today were freely "taking orders" for tickets and declared they would be able to de liver them near the Metropolitan Opera House.
