90reuth, where I am studying with Herr Kniese and Mme. Cosima. When you write your next letter to THE MUSICAL COURIER kindly mention my whereabouts, as I should like my American friends to know something about me. I have been here for two months, repeating all the Wagner roles, besides studying new the part of Hagen, the only one I had not in my repertory.
92"Mr. Kniese is an excellent exponent [of what?] and teacher. No doubt almost every artist would profit from him in the style of singing Wagner most dramatically without singing against the best rules of voice production.
94"Next month I shall sing in Prague Leporello and King Henry ('Lohengrin').
96"Instead of taking a steady engagement I shall absolve a number of 'Gastspiele' next winter, so that I can be at liberty to return to America at any time."
98L. M. Ruben, of New York, writes to me from Copenhagen under date of July 27 that "the Misses Sondheimer, of St. Louis, are staying at Klampenborg; Mme. Florenza d'Arona and her husband are also visiting Copenhagen. Michael Banner and his beautiful American wife are now traveling through the provinces of Denmark. Mme. Camille Seygard, Emil Fischer and Constantin von Sternberg closed their Scandinavian tournée (Director L. M. Ruben) last week. These artists made a profound impression, especially Emil Fischer at his age was considered a wonder. They are known here as the American trio. Mr. Fischer left for Dresden, Sternberg has gone to Leipsic and Mme. Seygard to Paris.
100"Johann Svendsen returned last week from Norway, where he was honored at the Bergen Music Festival. He looked much improved in health.
102"I shall probably return to New York next month to my old position at the Metropolitan Opera House."
104I am in a position to report the probable engagement of Rosenthal, and among the violinists Willy Burmester, the greatest Paganini player, virtuoso on the violin, and an excellent musician as well as a fine fellow, for a concert tour through the United States under the management of Miss Millar.
106Among the callers at THE MUSICAL COURIER office was Prof. Reinhold L. Herman, the newly chosen conductor of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society. Professor Herman told me that he cannot take up the duties of this position until late in October, as his opera "Wulfrin," the score of which he has revised since the Cologne first production, will be brought out at the Court Opera House, at Cassel, early in October, and he intends to be present at this important event.
108I met the two Misses Myers, from Portland, Ore. The younger one, who only lately arrived from her native town, is going to study the violin with Professor Halir.
110Lillian Blauvelt is spending her summer vacation in the Black Forest, where, as she writes to me, she is "enjoying it immensely. The scenery and walks are superb and the air very balmy and most beneficial, I should imagine, for the health."
112Hugh McGibney, an American music student, called during my absence. So did Mrs. Lawitzky, and her daughter, Miss Olga Lawitzky, from St. Louis, Mo. The young lady intends to finish her vocal studies at Berlin. one of two readings

115Prof. Gustav Hollaender, director of the Stern Conservatory, writes to me from Norderney, where he is spending his summer vacation.
117A pleasant and interesting call also was that of Edward Schirner, of Columbus, Ohio, who has settled down in Berlin as piano pedagogue and is sought considerably by pupils in search of technic, the teaching of which he makes his specialty.
119In a day or two I intend to leave Berlin for Switzerland, where I want to take a rest and hear—no music. During my absence of several weeks my trusted young assistant, Herwegh von Ende, will keep you informed of the musical doings in the capital of Germany.
121Miss Adele Lewing is summering at Bad Neundorf, near Hanover, where on the 13th inst. she is booked for a concert in conjunction with Chamber Virtuoso Felix Meyer (violin), of Berlin.

125Mme. Ogden Crane.
127Mme. Ogden Crane, who will begin her winter season on September 20 at her studio, No. 3 East Fourteenth street, gave a concert at Asbury Park on August 11. There were fully 1,500 people present, a very large audience even for the Asbury Park Auditorium.
129A note was appended to the program stating that, owing to the length of program, the audience was requested not to ask for encores. Those taking part, in addition to Mme. Ogden Crane, were her pupils, Fannie Humes, Bertha Lyon, Grace Underwood, Bertha Martin, Alice Hunt, Lizzie E. Taylor, Eleanor Lance, Bertha Britton, Edith Shaffer, Ida Wyckoff and Lydia Deitz Dalbier.
131Mme. Crane's son, Harry Ogden Crane, played selections on the mandolin and autoharp, he being considered one of the finest mandolinists in the country.
