1CINCINNATI, October 26, 1900.
3VIRGIL A. PINKLEY, who for many years was connected with the College of Music, has established for himself a school of "elocutionary, oratoric and dramatic art" at suite 406 Pike Building. The enrollment of pupils has far exceeded its founder's most sanguine expectation. It has an entertainment and employment bureau, which it will operate largely in the interests of its faculty and students by way of securing them engagements as platform artists and as instructors. The Pinkley Literary and Dramatic Society will afford its members ample public opportunity and will have a staff of able lecturers during the year on themes related to the arts, such as "Expression in Sculpture," "Forensic Oratory," "Sacred Oratory," "Literary Interpretation," "Parliamentary Usage." Each branch of study in the curriculum of the school will be conducted by eminent specialists.

37Miss Emma Heckle, soprano, who for several years lived in New York city, has established her studio in the Pike Building. Upon the advice of Tietjens she went to Frankfort-on-the-Main and studied with Julius Stockhausen Lieder and oratorio, and returning to America became the solo soprano in Professor Swing's church in Chicago, and gave many concerts in all the principal cities of the West. Several years ago and last summer Miss Heckle revisited Europe and studied with Julius Hey in Berlin tone production and repertory. She follows Professor Hey's method entirely. She has sung with Seidl, Thomas, Tomlins and many well-known conductors. During the season she will concertize in this city and in other cities.

41A students' recital was given by the school of David Davis, in the College Building, on Thursday evening, October 25. John C. Hersh has a promising baritone voice. He has a good conception of the requirements of oratorio. Miss Laura Grundhofer is a contralto whose voice is pleasing and of good timbre. Both sang selections from "The Messiah." Others who participated in the program were Belle R. James, Wm. H. Winkelman and Miss Susie Diggins, a pupil of George W. Webb.

45Mr. Van der Stucken returned to the College of Music last Thursday after an absence of five months. He looks hearty and well. His arrival was greeted by the faculty and students. While abroad Mr. Van der Stucken visited Sweden and Denmark and the Isle of Ruegen in the Baltic. He met Hans Richter; Riedel, of Brunswick, Hof-Kapellmeister; Richard Sahla, of Buckeburg, Hof-Kapellmeister; Nebral, of Prague, and listened in Paris to a concert of the music of the modern French composers, conducted by Taffanel.
47In New York he saw all the artists at present in that city—Madame Schumann-Heink, Josephine Jacoby, Ffrangcon-Davies, Marie Schmill, Robert Hosea, Jr., and that favorite of Cincinnatians, Mrs. Mamie Hissem de Moss. During his stay in the metropolitan city Mr. Van der Stucken engaged for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra a first oboe, flute, clarinet, bassoon and 'cello. He will begin rehearsals of the college chorus on Wednesday afternoon and of the Orchestra on Thursday. Rehearsals of the opera class will begin on Monday night.

79J. A. HOMAN.
81Strauss and Gulick.
83MONTRÉAL, October 29, 1900.
85EDUARD STRAUSS entertained Earl Gulick here at the Windsor Hotel this evening. The Austrian conductor pronounced Earl's voice as marvelous and his singing skillful and sympathetic.
87JEAN D. IVES.
89Joseffy's Wagon in Ruins.
91WHILE Mrs. Rafael Joseffy, wife of the famous pianist, and her two children were driving along Main street, in Tarrytown, on Friday afternoon, their wagon, as battered in appearance as the noted "one-hoss shay," broke squarely in two. Mrs. Joseffy and the children were hurled violently to the ground, as was the coachman.
93The coachman pluckily held on to the lines and brought the startled horses to a stop. Mrs. Joseffy and the children, although severely bruised, were not seriously injured.
95The "one-hoss shay," as Tarrytown persons called the Joseffy wagon, was so dilapidated as not to be worth removing, and its ruins still adorn the centre of Main street.
97Some New Music.
99W. L. BLUMENSCHEIN, of Dayton, has just issued some exercises for medium voice. Mr. Blumenschein is well known as a successful singing teacher, and these exercises, which also train the eye in reading and the ear in pitch, may be recommended for their directness and simplicity. Oreste Bimboni, the celebrated conductor of Italian opera, and warm partisan of Wagner in Italy, has composed a serenade for medium voice. The range is from D sharp below the treble staff to the E. This pretty piece of music is called "Occhioni Neri."
101Robert Kent Parker Sails.
103ROBERT KENT PARKER, basso, a promising pupil of J. Dennis Mehan, of Pittsburg, Pa., sailed this month for England, where he will continue his musical studies, going later to Paris, Vienna, Switzerland and Italy. It is Mr. Parker's object to gain musical experience under leading instructors rather than to devote himself to tone production, which he has been admirably taught by Mr. Mehan. The former will return to America in a year's time, when he will accept oratorio, concert and recital engagements. He has a fine voice, as was illustrated at Chautauqua this summer, and should become a prominent singer.
105Van den Hende.
107Flavie Van den Hende, the 'cellist, played at a concert last week at Nyack, N. Y., and at a recital at the Waldorf-Astoria. This artist has a large number of engagements for November, December and January.
