3Northwestern Prize Contest.—The board of directors of the Northwestern Saengerbund offers a prize of $25 to the person setting to music the following motto of the Bund most satisfactorily:
5O grüne fort und blühe lang,
6In unser im Bund, du deutscher Sang.
8Competitors must send their composition with their own motto sealed to the undersigned on or before January 1, 1897. An additional envelope must be sent, with the name and address of composer and bearing the motto of the sender. Moritz Herling, president of the Bund, 1420 Centre street, Milwaukee, Wis.
10Rudolph Aronson's Engagements.—Applications for dates for Madame Teresa Carreño are being received from all parts of the country. Mr. Rudolph Aronson, her manager, has already closed with the New York Philharmonic Society, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the New York Symphony Society and the Theodore Thomas Orchestra. Madame Carreño will arrive in New York January 5.
12Mr. Marix Loewensohn, the 'cello virtuoso, who also will be under Mr. Aronson's direction, will perform the Volkman concerto with the London Philharmonic Society in November next before his departure for New York.
14Mr. Abercrombie's Pupil.—Mr. Abercrombie's pupil Miss Dorothy Morton made a success in the Geisha at Daly's Theatre. Alan Dale says in New York Journal July 10, 1896:
16Miss Dorothy Morton sang the rôle created by the inimitable Tempest. Although her voice will not stand comparison with the exquisite organ of the Dresden china prima donna, Miss Morton was a complete surprise. She sang extremely well, and acted better.
18The Damrosch-Margulies Suit.—In the matter of the suit instituted recently by Leon Margulies against Walter Damrosch, in which the former claims the sum of $2,427, which he alleges is due to him for commissions, Mr. Damrosch has this to say:
20"In the first place Mr. Margulies was an employé of mine. He was particularly anxious to go to Europe to make engagements for my last opera season. At the time he proposed this trip I assured him that it would be necessary for him to secure the services of some people in Europe, inasmuch as he had not at that time the acquaintance and influence necessary to negotiate with some of the artists I was to engage. While in Europe Mr. Harder, my stage manager, was largely instrumental in enabling Margulies to make his connections, and there was an agreement by which Mr. Harder was to receive a portion of the commission usually paid for such purposes.
22"My books will show that the commissions were all paid in full at the close of the season, and Mr. Margulies' contention should really be brought against Mr. Harder and not against me. I do not know at the present time where Mr. Margulies is, and I am totally at a loss to understand why he should institute this proceeding."

44From Europe.
45THE MISSES HIBBARD.
47A n interesting New York studio is that of the Misses Hortense and Adelina Hibbard in the Strathmore, Fifty-second street and Broadway.
49The idea covers more than a studio indeed, for a family of musicians lives there, all actively engaged in teaching music. Furthermore it is the abode of absolute peace and harmony, each one being equally proud of and interested in the work of the other.
51The father, an excellent violinist, teaches at the home, where his pupils and family adore him as the soul of a good man and an artist. The daughters have separate studios where Miss Hortense teaches piano and Miss Adelina vocal art, for which important fields both have been prepared by careful and costly study. The mother has performed the most important of musical duties in bringing up her daughters in knowledge of solfège, in reverence for musical intelligence, and in a habit of modesty as the surest sign of real worth.
53Miss Adelina has studied vocal music in America and in Europe, and in Paris under various teachers, judging the systems of all, and adapting the good of each without becoming slave to any.
55During her examination of methods in Paris she has learned the points of the French and Italian schools, studied the traditions and language of operatic works, and has made songs a careful study. She was well equipped to come to Paris, having talents, such as the sense of absolute pitch, musical intuition, memory, &c., and being trained in solfège and to play the piano as a musician. She plays her own accompaniments when necessary to infuse sentiment or idea, and can criticise as intelligent authority, not on whim or caprice.
57Miss Hibbard cannot speak too highly of the qualities of M. Léon Jancey, with whom she was fortunate enough to study much in Paris. She claims indeed that much of the value of this year's study is the result of her work with him in the lines of lyric declamation, enunciation, diction and general expression.
59Miss Hortense Hibbard has studied piano in Weimar with Liszt and in Leipsic with Carl Reinecke and Krause. Her position as pianist is well established in New York, where she has recently been heard in the Chickering and other concerts. She has a very large class of pupils and has several pupil teachers working under her direction.
61This piano teacher is an indefatigable student of musical methods and of the theory and practice of teaching. She has remarkable talent as teacher aside from her artistic worth, and has much success in imparting. She frequently comes to Europe for fresh inspiration and to confer with musicians.
63Both sisters are extremely conscientious and painstaking, with a genuine love of teaching and a great desire for the advancement of their pupils. Their frequent pupils' musicals are extremely interesting ones, and those of this year will be exceptionally so, embracing as they will many new found points of value. Of these Musical Courier readers will be made acquainted from time to time.

67Buffalo Symphony Dates.—The dates of the Buffalo Symphony concerts are November 19, December 3, January 7 and 21 and February 4 and 18 and March 4 and 18.
69Brussels.—The lovers of music in the fashionable circles of Brussels society have purchased a site where they will endeavor to make old music popular. The present building will be transformed into a drinking shop of the sixteenth century. The musical program, exclusively of old music, will be arranged by Capellmeister Melant.
71Ladies' Vocal Trios.—The Dutch vocal trio formed by Frl. de Jong, Snyders and Corver, has been dissolved. Frl. de Jong is going to be married, and Frl. Corver will become a dramatic singer. But a new organization is forming from pupils of Stockhausen, and Frau Schulten von Aster, Johanna Meyernisch, Else Vogel and Clementine Engelmann.
73Miss Ottilie Sutro III.—Miss Ottilie Sutro, of ensemble pianistic fame, who arrived in London on the steamer Massachusetts last week, accompanied by her mother and sister, has been lying dangerously ill in a private hospital. Her physician gives, however, encouragement for her complete and speedy restoration. Her illness is, he considers, the result of the great shock caused by the sudden death of her father, the late Otto Sutro, aggravated by the intense heat in the United States.
