3Salome to Mulligan.—Wm. Edw. Mulligan feels much gratified at the receipt of the following from Th. Salomé:
5Paris, 70 Rue St. Lazare, December 8, 1892.
6My Dear Colleague—I have just received your program and hasten to thank you for the place with which you have honored my two pieces. For this I am very grateful to you and am the more flattered because I have heard you mentioned as an artist of great worth. Accept, my dear colleague,
7The expression of my best sentiments,
8TH. SALOMÉ.
10At the New York College.—A concert was given at the New York College of Music last Thursday evening, at which Mr. Paolo Gallico, piano; Miss Fanny Rich, soprano, and the Haydn String Quartet took part in the following program:
11Trio, G major, op. 71, for piano, violin and 'cello….Fred. Brandeis
12Messrs. Gallico, Mannes and Kronold.
13Aria, from "Robert le Diable"….Meyerbeer
14Miss Fanny Rich.
15String Quartet, G minor….A. Rubinstein
16Two movements.
17The Haydn String Quartet.
18Quintet, A minor (new)….Paolo Gallico
19Mr. Paolo Gallico and the Haydn String Quartet.
21The principal number of the program was the trio by Mr. Fred. Brandeis, a sound musicianly composition that was greatly appreciated by the audience, the second movement in particular being very interesting. This trio is an old friend.
23The other novelty was the quintet by Mr. Gallico, in which the composer and the quartet were heard to much advantage. Miss Rich has a well schooled soprano and gives excellent promise. Her number was exceedingly well done.
25The audience was a large one and late comers were content to stand.
27Carl in Scranton.—Mr. Wm. C. Carl added another to his long list of successes by his remarkable handling of the large organ in the recently completed Christ Church, Scranton, Pa. The following is from the Scranton "Truth":

30The organ recital that preluded the ten days of dedicatory services was in every way worthy of the great occasion. Mr. William C. Carl, the organist chosen to bring out for the first time the splendid capabilities of the instrument, fully justified the high reputation he had already made in France and in his native land. From Bach's stately Toccata, which formed the opening number, to the closing one, the brilliant Schiller March, a tone poem in which Meyerbeer voiced the world's rejoicing over the existence of a great poet, Mr. Carl gave full proof of his mastery of technic, and his power to use the resources of his noble instrument in expressing the full range of human emotion translated into harmonies.
32There is no need to reproduce here the evening's program. Handel's magnificent organ concerto in D brought out the deeper and profounder tones of the new organ, which the earlier numbers, even the Bach Toccata, had not shown. Up to that number it was the sweetness of tone that had been most apparent. The composer Guilman's fine Marche de la Symphonie, entitled "Ariane," was played by his pupil in a manner that proved how completely the spirit of his master is appreciated and loved by Mr. Carl. The organist's playing of Bibi's poetic "Visione" and George's MacMaster's Pastorale revealed both the player's wide range of powers and the fineness and delicacy of the new instrument under the touch of a master's hand.
34Louisville Ladies.—The Ladies' Quartet Club of Louisville gave a very enjoyable concert at Smith & Nixon's on Tuesday evening of last week.
