15Joseph Vilim played the following violin solos at the Waukegan Opera House September 29:

22Clara Murray, the harpist, has been engaged to play at the Beethoven Club, Memphis, Tenn., with Clarence Eddy; at the Music Hall, Cincinnati; at St. Paul, Minn., and Omaha, Neb. The harp is not a popular instrument, and the engagements for concert harpists, apart from Clara Murray, are comparatively few. This fine artist, however, commands the situation so far as her instrument is concerned, and monopolizes most of the good engagements.
24The Quincy Conservatory gave a faculty concert last Thursday, Messrs. Spry and Zeitz being the executants. The first matinee musicale of the season by the faculty of the Chicago Musical College was given to-day at the Recital Hall, College Building. Among the compositions presented were two songs, "Thou Art Mine All" and "Nachtgedanze," by Louis Campbell Tipton, who has lately been added to the staff of the college.
26There was a very crowded attendance, and the affair was a success in every sense of the term.

30To many people the withdrawal from public life of Johanna Hess-Burr, the noted coach and accompanist, will come as a surprise, as it was thought she only withdrew temporarily on account of ill-health. Mrs. Burr has decided to follow out her ambition, and her chief aim is to devote her entire time to voice training and coaching artists. Her success in this work has been in many ways remarkable. Mention need only be made of her pupils—Jenny Osborn, Glenn Hall, Edyth Evelyn Evans—who all occupy responsible positions in the musical world.

34A really delightful soprano who, hitherto a society amateur, has joined the professional ranks, with engagements already making a better showing than many of the artists who have been the business for years, Mrs. Dudley Tyng, to whom reference is made and who was the star at the Quincy convention, has been re-engaged to sing there November 7, and is booked to appear at many other cities, including St. Paul, Grand Rapids and Faribault. Mrs. Tyng is one of the artists under the direction of Florence Hyde Jenckes.
36A notice of Edwin Rowdon in the Chicago columns of THE COURIER omitted to mention that he is under the direction of Florence Hyde Jenckes.
38Most encouraging reports of good engagements made are received by Mrs. Jenckes from her three agents, who are now traversing the country north, south and west.

46The Kaltenborn String Quartet.
48Although the musical season has scarcely begun, the Kaltenborn Quartet is already busy, having filled engagements at the summer homes of Mrs. Lonnisbery, Mrs. William Jay and Mrs. C. C. Worthington. Last Wednesday night the Kaltenborn Sextet opened the new opera house at Madison, N. J.
50The quartet will leave New York October 23 on a short trip. A second and longer tour will be undertaken November 20, and in December a third one will be made. Early in December will begin the fourth season of Sunday afternoon concerts at the Crescent Athletic Club, in Brooklyn. October 18 Franz Kaltenborn will be the soloist at the opening musicale of the Hanover Club, Brooklyn, and December 3 at the concert of the Brooklyn Saengerbund. The dates of the three public subscription concerts by the quartet are November 28, February 6 and March 20. These will be given in Mendelssohn Hall. In the same hall will occur a number of other concerts in which the Kaltenborn organization will participate. The quartet already has enough engagements in neighboring towns and in New England to keep it busy until Christmas. Franz Kaltenborn and Beyer-Hané have been re-engaged to give their third season of "trio matinées" at the Columbia University Teachers' College.
52There have been two changes made in the Kaltenborn Quartet, Edwin Banck being the new viola player and Carl Hugo Engel, who is the permanent concertmaster of the Kaltenborn Orchestra, being the second violin player. Mr. Engel has appeared often as soloist in the concerts in St. Nicholas Garden this summer, and his success was great. Mr. Beyer-Hané, who has also done much solo work in these concerts, remains the violoncellist of the quartet.
54Duncklee, of Newark.
56The musical services in the Roseville Avenue Presbyterian Church will be resumed, under the direction of Henry Hall Duncklee, next Sunday evening, October 15. Mrs. Beatrice Fine, soprano; Miss Bessie Bonsall, contralto, and Dr. Ion Jackson will sing at the first service.
58Mr. Duncklee's services as accompanist will be in great demand during the coming season. For the first week in November he will play at Mrs. Alexander Irving's "Evening of Music," Miss Ida Mae Pierpont's song recital, and Signor Arturo Nutini's piano and violin recital.

73Philadelphia Musical Notes.
75THE statement made in these notes last week to the effect that W. W. Gilchrist received not the slightest compensation as director for the Symphony Society appears to be somewhat of an error. However, the error was about as slight as his salary. Mr. Gilchrist did receive compensation, but, as he tells THE MUSICAL COURIER, it was "too insignificant to be mentioned." Be this as it may, the rupture is now made, and there appears to be no way of healing the breach. Mr. Gilchrist is attending strictly to his own affairs, and nothing can induce him to be drawn into any controversy over the matter. He is out, and has little to say.
77He is gratified, though, greatly at the staunch support given him by his friends all over Philadelphia, and his coming concerts with the Mendelssohn Choir and Orchestra will be well attended and notable events here, as his work has always proved. Mr. Gilchrist is just as busy a man as any in this country, and his music school is flourishing as a green bay tree. His patrons are coming from all over the country, and he has an able corps of assistants. In this community he will never lack for support. His compositions for some little time have been scarce, but he has some brilliant things ready which will be given to the world soon.

81Fritz Scheel's New York Orchestra at the Export Exposition was a success. He is to be congratulated, for the people crowded there in that barn of an auditorium like ants. On Thursday afternoon and evening he played to more than 20,000 people. It is a great pity the management of the Export Exposition cannot see the demand for inclosing the great auditorium. The upper sides are open entirely, so that the sound goes all through the exhibit space, and also the sounds from the thousands who tramp, tramp, tramp through the buildings on the board floors, comes pouring through the auditorium like whirlwind, drowning out all semblance of sound. At the farthest end of the building not a suggestion of the orchestra can be heard, and more than once did Mr. Scheel turn round in utter disgust at the awful noises. It is regrettable that he did not have a better hall in which to show the work of his orchestra, for it is evident that he has made a bold and lasting impression in Philadelphia. He hopes also for a return engagement before the Export Exposition closes and when the sides of the auditorium are fully inclosed.
