7ARTHUR HUBBARD'S studio is like a beehive and has been since September. All his hours are filled for every day in the week. His pupils are meeting with success in their respective positions, many of them singing in prominent churches and many others teaching in different parts of the country. Miss Ruby Cutter, who has been heard in many concerts in the past two years and who filled the position of soprano for two years and a half in the Union Church, Worcester, left in October to pursue her studies in Paris. She is comfortably settled there with her mother and has already been heard in the best salons, meeting with the most cordial appreciation. A brilliant career is predicted for her by Madame Marchesi, who has praised her highly for her attainments and assured her that she can prepare her for an operatic début in a short time.
9Miss Margaret Roche is another advanced pupil who has attracted a great deal of notice for her beautiful contralto voice and its rather extraordinary range, as well as for her broad and spirited style of singing. She is gifted with a fine stage presence and has met with unmistakable appreciation wherever she has appeared in concert.
11Miss Harriet Goddard, who made her operatic début in Modena last winter, is another of Mr. Hubbard's pupils who was trained entirely by him before going to Europe. She is in Paris with her husband, John Wood, and is expected to sing again in Italy in the spring.
13Paul Savage is also in Paris studying French repertory. He has a fine, well poised and ringing baritone voice. He has been heard in Parisian musical circles and has received a great deal of praise and encouragement for his artistic work.
15Mr. Harrison, still another pupil studying abroad, is in Rome with Cotogni. He has a baritone voice of extraordinary range and size.
17Clarence Chuts, basso of the Union Church Quartet, Worcester, has a fine voice and sings with authority.
19There are many other promising voices in Mr. Hubbard's class who will undoubtedly be heard in public eventually.
21Mme. Caroline Gardner Clarke gave the third in the series of afternoon musicales on Tuesday, and, as usual, every seat was occupied by an audience that greatly enjoyed the program given. Madame Clarke was assisted by the following artists: Miss Katherine Ricker, contralto; Mrs. J. E. Tippett, at the piano; George Edmund Dwight, baritone; J. Hoffman, first violin; J. Theodorowicz, second violin; F. Kahn, viola; C. Barth, 'cello; G. Gerhardt, double bass; E. N. L'Africain, cornet. one of two readings

24Madame Clarke, in addition to singing at the Christmas services in the Central Church, will sing solos from "The Messiah" at the New Old South in the evening.
26"The Nativity" will be sung at Trinity Church on Thursday evening, December 26, under the direction of Dr. H. J. Stewart, organist of the church. The solos will be by the regular quartet, and the chorus will be augmented for the occasion.
28Frederic Martin has been engaged by the Choral Club of Troy, in the production of "The Creation," which is to be given on March 13.
30Frank H. Hyatt, a young Ohio musician now studying in Boston, is surprising his friends by his compositions. Some of his recent songs, "For Thee," "Dreaming," "When Sweet and Low" and "The Bird and the Rose," are being sung in concert by Mrs. Jeannie Crocker Follett and Theodore Schroeder.
32The prospectus of the Salem Oratorio Society has been issued for the present season. The only well-known soloist announced is Gwilym Miles, of New York.
34An organ recital was given on Tuesday evening at Berkeley Temple by Mrs. Florence Rich King, pupil of Everett E. Truette, when an interesting program was played.
36The recital at the New England Conservatory of Music on Wednesday evening was by students of the advanced class.
38There will be special music in all the churches at Christmas time, the choir at the Central Church to be augmented by players from the Symphony Orchestra in the morning, and by a chorus of seventy voices in the afternoon.
40The pupils of W. Archibald Willis gave a recital last week at Waltham.
42The Nashua Oratorio Society—100 voices—announces "The Messiah" for December 27. The soloists are all from Boston. Henri G. Blaisdell's orchestra of twenty-four pieces will furnish the music. Mr. Blaisdell is the concert manager, E. G. Hood conductor and Miss Anna S. Melendy pianist.
44FREDERIC ARCHER'S SUCCESSOR.
46E. H. LEMARE, organist of St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, London, who was recently on a visit in this country and gave a number of recitals, has been selected as the successor of the late Frederic Archer as organist at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburg. The American organists are making such huge salaries in the church positions they occupy that a paltry $5,000 a year at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburg, with a few thousand dollars added by way of special recitals and teaching, did not tempt any of them.
48HARVEY-PELTON-BACHELLER-BROMBERG AT ROSEVILLE.—This quartet sang at the Roseville Avenue (N. J.) Presbyterian Church last Sunday evening (F. W. Riesberg, organist-director), this being the Christmastide musical program:
49Soprano solo, In Bethlehem's Ancient City…………………….West
50Alto solo, O Holy Night………………………………………Adam
51Tenor solo, The Birthday of a King……………………………Neidlinger
52Baritone solo, A Dream of Paradise……………………………Lane one of two readings
53Baritone solo, A Dream of Paradise………………………….Lane one of two readings
54Anthem, Like Silver Lamps…………………………………….Barnby one of two readings
55Anthem, Like Silver Lamps…………………………………Barnby one of two readings
57The church was crowded, and there has probably never been a more satisfactory Christmas service there in the dozen years this special regular Sabbath evening music has been given. Mr. Riesberg played a Pastorale by Metcalf, and Lachner's "Marche Célèbre."
59ILMA, DORE.
61THIS young coloratura singer, a picture of whom embellishes the cover of this week's paper, will make her début the evening of February 4 in Mendelssohn Hall. Miss Doré was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, sixteen years ago. When a child she gave evidence of the possession of a remarkable voice, and showed a passion for music. Her parents decided wisely to make the most of her talents, and placed her in charge of a capable voice trainer. Her teacher declared that he had never heard a purer and stronger voice in a child, and had never found a brighter musical intelligence than she disclosed. Under the loving and painstaking guidance of this preceptor little Miss Doré made rapid and sure progress. The flexibility and sweetness of her voice astonished all who heard her sing, and her bird-like singing delighted them, too. It was predicted that some day she would become a famous prima donna.
63A few years ago the parents of Miss Doré moved from St. Petersburg to New York, and she was at once placed in charge of Madame Serrano, the experienced voice builder, who was incontinently charmed by the youthful singer. Since then Miss Ilma has been studying diligently, and her development has been surprising.
65Miss Doré purposes to go to Paris to complete her studies, and will probably spend some time in Italy before returning to America. Previous to her departure from New York she will appear in a song recital in Mendelssohn Hall, being assisted by Emile Levy, the accompanist.
67Miss Doré is endowed with an exceptional voice, a high soprano of dramatic quality, which she controls like a mature artist. She is wrapped up in her art, and is brimful of ambition. Competent critics, who have heard her sing, do not hesitate to extol her to the skies and indulge in the most roseate prophecies touching her artistic career.
69SOUSA'S RETURN.
71IN the Herald Square Theatre last Sunday night John Philip Sousa and his band, fresh from their successes in Great Britain, were given a rousing welcome. This theatre, not a very large one, was wholly inadequate for the accommodation of the throng of music lovers who wished to hear the concert. And what hall but Carnegie will hold the audience that crowd to hear Sousa? Sousa and his men were given a cordial reception.
73In reviewing a Sousa concert it is useless to publish the printed program, for that gives but an inadequate idea of the entertainment. The scheme Sunday night included several novelties, such as intermezzo, "Salut d'Amour," by Elgar; "Witches' Dance" from "In Fairy Land," by Cowen; Bourrée and Gigue from "Much Ado About Nothing," by German, and "Hail to the Flag," a national anthem, by Richard Mansfield. As usual Sousa was gracious in the matter of encores.
75The soloists were Miss Maud Reese-Davies, soprano; Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violinist, and Arthur Pryor, trombone player.
77ESTELLE HARRIS FOR UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB.—Miss Harris has been engaged by the New York University Glee Club to sing at the concert at the Astoria ballroom January 25. Christmas evening she and Mr. Riesberg furnished some appropriate Christmas music at the handsome home of Mrs. McGowan, 11 East Sixtieth street, and December 26 she sang in "The Messiah" at Goshen.
