1most conscientious, earnest teacher, and has some pupils who show the care which he has bestowed upon them.
3Miss Ernestine Goltmann, a piano teacher who does good work in a quiet way, gave a recital last week, in which she showed some good pupils. She was assisted by some vocal pupils of Miss Siegel, among whom was Miss Orenstein, whose voice is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. I regretted extremely to learn that Miss Orenstein's family objects to the profession, for the profession needs such voices more than the voices need the profession. Both Miss Goltmann and Miss Siegel are from Vienna.
5Those who appeared on the program were: Misses Mathilde Bergman, Amanda Ebert, Fannie de Boom, Camille de Boom, Sallie and Babette Cline, Juliette Levy, Josie Cohen, Emma de Boom, Phoebe Shepper, Martha Grunberg, Nettie Forbes and Miss Orenstein.
7The Ladies' Orchestra of Oakland, numbering thirty members, gave a fine concert last week. W. J. McCoy may well be proud of the results of his earnest work as director, instructor and organizer. Miss Ida M. Fox, who is the concertmaster, played some soli with great success, and Miss Haydon furnished some soprano soli. Miss Hannibal played the accompaniment.
9I cannot close my letter without referring to the military excitement, and indeed the sight of all the troops as they come in and out of San Francisco is a soul-stirring one. Our boys have gone into the army, and one cannot fail to understand that they being from the best families in the land have brought the army closer to our hearts than it has been since the old days of war.
11The California troops left yesterday morning for Manila and with them the band taken from San Francisco society. George W. Hollister, the bandmaster, is, or was, until this call came a lawyer of good standing, and his men are as follows: Principal musician, W. T. Pidwell; drum major, C. von Staden; cornets, J. Inghram, C. Morgan, R. Simpson and J. Bigelow; altos, E. Harwood, W. Condy, E. Townsend and C. Crogan; trombones, Gus Fobt, W. Schanck, J. Inghram and A. Trew; piccolo and flute, C. Cusheon and C. Jaffé; clarinets, G. Crump, C. Moore and W. Adams; bass, Don Ray and J. F. Lawson, and drums, G. Lenhard and L. Smith.
13God's blessing and protection be with them!

17Maze-Hyatt Recital.
19Miss Belle Louise Maze and Miss A. Forrester Hyatt gave a song recital last Tuesday afternoon at 148 Amity street, Brooklyn, which was much enjoyed. The latter is now with Francis Fischer Powers.
21Miss Hood's Trio Classes.
23The classes in ensemble playing conducted by Miss Louise Hood, the violinist and teacher, and Hans Kronold, the violoncellist, have just ended for the season. They have enabled a number of excellent amateur pianists in Newark and New York to become acquainted with some of the best trios old and new, and have formed a praiseworthy element of musical culture in both cities.
25The members of the New York class this season were Mrs. Mansfield, Mrs. Pedersen, Mrs. Woods, Miss Julia Whitehead, Miss Nishwitz, Miss Kahnweiler, Miss Diller, Mrs. Naumberg and Miss Archer. In Newark the class has been organized for five seasons, and has had among its members: Mrs. Frederick Smith, Miss Riker, Miss McCall, Miss Heinisch, Miss Laninger, Mrs. Wm. Field, Miss Harrison, Miss Hinds and others.

51Some of the finest work of the evening was done by the female chorus. The ringing qualities of the tones was excellent, and some of the voices seemed almost fit for solo parts. The acting of both male and female choruses was spirited throughout, and the orchestra deserves high commendation.
53Much of the success of the performance depended also on the admirable stage setting. I wondered how the chorus would manage to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" in Spanish costume. This difficulty was solved by lowering a flag curtain in front of the chorus while it sang.
55Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Rihm's pupils gave a concert on May 27 at the Long Island Business College. The hall was crowded with representatives of the Eastern District—friends of those who were to take part. The concert was a successful one, and served to show the grade of progress attained by the various pupils, who were all the way from five to twenty-five years of age. The parents showed their enthusiasm by presenting the performers with magnificent floral gifts.
57The program consisted of both vocal selections and piano pieces.
59An unusually fine concert was given at Memorial Hall last Monday evening for the benefit of the Non-Sectarian Hospital and Home for Epileptics by Miss Lillian Story, soprano; Mrs. Mattie Dorlon-Lowe, contralto; Miss Loretta Tappen-Greene, reader, and Wm. I. Richardson, baritone. Frank Downey played the accompaniments. Special mention is due to the finished interpretation of Frank Downey's "A Lullaby" and his "Which One?" by Mrs. Lowe, who has a contralto voice of beautiful quality.
