1versatility and has his voice under perfect command, rendering songs, different in character, with equal beauty, intelligence and depth of conception. His enunciation leaves nothing to be desired. Long, continuous applause followed his excellent, artistic singing, which will be long remembered by those who enjoyed hearing him. Mrs. Carter, who is so well known here and a great favorite, delighted her listeners with an Italian aria to which her high, flexible, strong and beautiful soprano voice is especially well suited. She sang it with exquisite taste and brilliant execution and was heartily applauded for her fine singing and received many compliments on it.
3Miss Burmeister had undertaken the difficult and responsible work of playing all the accompaniments besides her solo numbers. She did it in a most satisfactory and artistic manner, following the singers with the greatest care and discretion. She seemed to be in perfect sympathy with them, a thing so much needed in order to be a good accompanist. She played her piano soli with delicate charm and spirit, for which she was recalled twice, but failed to respond in any other way than bowing her acknowledgments.
5The recital was a most successful one, and was highly enjoyed and appreciated by all present.
7Ensemble Pianists.—The Misses Schafer and Miller, two ensemble pianists from St. Louis, will make their first appearance in Steinway Hall, New York city, on the 15th of this month.
9Chas. A. Kaiser, Tenor.—Chas. A. Kaiser, the tenor, sang at the concert of the Halévy Singing Society, on Sunday last, and was enthusiastically encored on both his solo numbers. His voice has grown to a tenore robusto, with an excellent range.
11Albertini-Linde Concert Company.—The Albertini-Linde concerts are meeting with great success. The following contracts are reported: Savannah, Ga., November 5; Birmingham, Ala., 7th; Chattanooga, Tenn., 8th; Knoxville, 11th; Nashville, 13th, and Memphis, 15th.
13Second Anniversary Concert.—The second anniversary concert of the Halévy Singing Society, Leon Kramer conductor, took place on Sunday last in Hebrew Institute Hall, corner Jefferson street and East Broadway, New York city, when Krug's cantata, King Fingal, was given. Miss Kathrin Hilde was the soprano soloist.
15First Night at the Opera.—Romeo et Juliette will be the bill for the first night of the opera season at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York city, on November 18. Miss Frances Saville will make her début as Juliet. Mme. Calvé will appear in Carmen on November 20, with M. Maurel as Escamillo, a new rôle for him, and M. Lubert as Don José.
17National Conservatory.—The National Conservatory of Music, New York city, will hold a supplementary entrance examination for opera and vocal department November 6, from 9 a. m. to 12 and 2 to 4 p. m., and for orchestra, November 7, from 2 to 4 p. m., thus furnishing an opportunity to all who, on account of the large number of applicants, were unable to obtain a hearing in September last.
19After Dvorák.—Now that it is definitely settled that Dr. Dvorák is not coming back to America, I would suggest that the managers of the National Conservatory of Music appoint an American as his successor. Without in the least undervaluing great foreign musicians, I still think that for a national institution an American might be selected as its director and head. It is nonsense to say that there are none such fully capable for the position, since I myself could name a dozen.

26In the Denver "Republican"—Rubin Goldmark, of Colorado Springs, lectured yesterday afternoon (October 23) before the Tuesday Musical Club and a select audience at the Albany Club rooms. The subject was Richard Wagner, his life, aims and some of his operas, illustrated by piano. It was considered very interesting and instructive by all who heard it. Mr. Goldmark is a fluent speaker, thoroughly imbued with his subject, which has been a lifelong study with him, and a mass of information enlivened by sparkling anecdotes held the audience entranced for an hour and a half. The public will look eagerly forward to further announcement when Mr. Goldmark will begin a series of lectures on Wagner's later and more characteristic operas.
28Ffrangcon-Davies.—Ffrangcon-Davies has been engaged by the New York Philharmonic Society to sing at its last concert in April. He will also sing the baritone part in the Henschel Stabat Mater throughout the country in the spring.
30Jeanne Franko Trio.—At its first concert to be given in Steinway Hall, New York city, on November 12, the Jeanne Franko Trio will have the assistance of Mr. J. H. McKinley, tenor. W. Bargiel's trio, op. 6; Gounod's aria, Send Me Your Aid, and Rubinstein's trio, op. 52, will form the program.
32Geraldine Morgan's Dates.—Miss Geraldine Morgan, the violinist, will play in Cincinnati, Ohio, November 22 and December 5; with the Brooklyn Apollo Club on December 10; Philadelphia, December 12; Portland, Me., December 18, and will set out on a trip West for three weeks on January 3, 1896.
34A German Tenor.—Rudolf Eichhorn, a young German tenor, who sang in Hamburg and Dresden, arrived in America last week and intends to remain during this season. He is known as a fine interpreter of Wagner music and a Lieder singer. He has been engaged to sing in Milwaukee on the 15th of this month in Seiffurth's Aus Deutschlands's Grosser Zeit, which will be produced there for the first time in America.
36Ondricek En Route.—Ondricek sailed from Southampton last Thursday and is expected to arrive in America next Friday. He will not appear in public until November 16, in the first concert of the New York Philharmonic Society. He will appear in New York again after that in the Metropolitan Opera House in the first Sunday concert of the season, November 24. On this occasion the Bohemian artist will play his fantasie on Smetana's Bartered Bride.
38First Marsick Recital.—Marsick, the French violinist, will give his first recital in Carnegie Hall on Tuesday evening, November 12, at 8:15, assisted by Mr. Howard Brockway, composer and pianist. Following will be the program:

52German Singers Arrive.—Most of the members of Walter Damrosch's German Opera Company are now in New York city ready to begin the tour, which will open in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 11. Frau Klafsky, one of the leading sopranos, has been here for several weeks. Fräulein Gisela Stroll, dramatic soprano; Fräulein Riza Eibenschutz, mezzo soprano, and Julius Puttlitz, basso, arrived on the Trave on Tuesday, and on the Lahn, which reached here later, were Max Alvary, Fräulein Johanna Gadski, Fräulein Louise Mulder, Paul Lange and Demeter Popovic. Wilhelm Gruning, the tenor, is expected to arrive early next week, and will complete the company.
54Prague.—The critics of Prague consider the success of The Violin Maker of Cremona as due chiefly to the charming violin solo which Hubay himself plays in the piece than to anything else.
56Pierson Engaged.—The cable brings the news that Madame Pierson, the well-known prima donna, has been engaged for the opera in New York by Mr. Grau for the season of 1896-7. Madame Pierson has won an enviable triumph in Germany as a dramatic soprano, and her reappearance in this country will indeed be welcome.
