5Musical Courier, New York:
6SEATTLE, February 24, 1902.
7NORDICA arrived in her private car "Brunnhilde" from California. Crowded houses; in good health. Leaves for Spokane to-day.
9Katharine Fisk Leaves for California.
10ME. KATHARINE FISK, whose beautiful voice and delightful art have won and maintained for her preeminent rank among American contraltos, left New York Sunday for a transcontinental recital tour, which has been arranged by her manager, Loudon G. Charlton.
12Madame Fisk has already been as far West this season as Colorado Springs, where she was accorded a distinction never before extended to any concert attraction except the Kneisel Quartet—that of a return engagement.
14This time Madame Fisk travels direct to the Pacific Coast, where she will be the soloist with the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra at their concert, March 7, and where she will give a recital a couple of days later.
16She is also booked for recitals with the Spinet Club in Redlands and at other Southern California points. In San Francisco she will give three recitals; and after filling dates in Central California, Portland, Ore., and several Northwestern cities will follow in the itinerary.
18The return journey will include important appearances at Denver and elsewhere en route, and will conclude at Louisville, Ky., where Madame Fisk is engaged as contralto soloist for the big music festival, April 1, 2 and 3.
20Before leaving New York for so extended a tour Madame Fisk decided it would be necessary to cancel her contract as contralto with the choir of St. Bartholomew's Church, Madison avenue, where she has served faithfully for the past three years, and she named Mrs. Richard Henry Warren to act as her substitute for the remainder of the church year.
22CAROLL-BADHAM AT THE WALDORF-ASTORIA.—The well-known vocal teacher, Miss Caroll-Badham, gave an interesting talk on "Singing As It Is Studied in Paris" at the Waldorf-Astoria last Tuesday. The affair was well attended and appreciated.

43TRYPHOSA BATCHELLER.
44MRS. TRYPHOSA BATCHELLER was born in North Brookfield, Mass., and her home at present is in Boston. As a little girl she studied the piano and violin, showing a decided talent for the latter. As she grew older she gave up her instrumental studies to devote all her time to the cultivation of her voice, which was pronounced by competent judges unusually sweet and clear.
46She studied nearly three years with Madame Marchesi in Paris, who showed her many pronounced favors, and predicted great things for her in the future. Mrs. Batcheller was also fortunate in gaining the approval of Massenet, who played her accompaniments on occasions. Her voice is a fine lyric soprano, very flexible, with limpid colorature, and her great temperament makes her singing at once appealing and enjoyable.
48She made her debut at the Salle Erard, in Paris, with great success in 1899, with Magin, chef d'orchestre of the Grand Opéra, at the piano. Since then she has sung with Alwin Schroeder, Gérardy, and last Friday she appeared at Mr. Ruben's musical morning in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria, where she received the most hearty applause. A criticism of this latter event appears elsewhere.
50Eleanor Cleaver's Song Recital.
51THE cablegrams to several of the New York papers announce the successful appearance of Mme. Eleanor Cleaver, an American contralto, at an orchestral concert given at St. James' Hall, London. As Madame Cleaver is now on the ocean, and as she will give her first New York recital at Mendelssohn Hall on March 12, it will be interesting to read the dispatches from London:
53MADAME CLEAVER'S SUCCESS.
54LONDON, February 18.—Mme. Eleanor Cleaver, of New York, a contralto singer, who has already won a high place in the musical world, sang for the first time with an orchestra in London at St. James' Hall to-night. It is not too much to say that she won a place second to none among contraltos. She will sing at the Philharmonic concert in Paris on Friday and will sail for New York on Saturday. She will give her first concert in New York on March 12. Ingo Simon, who sang artistically to-night, will accompany Madame Cleaver to America.—New York Sun.
56AMERICAN CONTRALTO MAKES HIT IN LONDON.
57LONDON, February 19.—Mme. Eleanor Cleaver, of New York, a contralto singer, has made a great hit at St. James' Hall.—New York Journal, February 19, 1902.
59MME. REUSS-BELCE.—Mme. Reuss-Belce, of the Metropolitan Opera House Company, sang Brünnhilde in "Die Walküre" last week and scored a great success. On Monday afternoon she sang Fricka in "Das Rheingold" and duplicated her previous success. Of her performance the papers spoke as follows:
61Madame Reuss-Belce commanded a large measure of respect by disclosing an intelligent appreciation of the dramatic contents of the part of Fricka.—Tribune.
63Madame Reuss-Belce has the presence necessary for the role, and she is thoroughly versed in its traditions.—New York Journal.
65Madame Reuss-Belce gave a finished performance, full of color and tone.—New York Staats-Zeitung.
67VON GRABILL HERE.—The well-known pianist, S. Becker von Grabill, is back in the city from his sojourn in Pennsylvania. He was called here for several private engagements.
69MILES ENGAGED.—Gwilym Miles, the baritone, has been engaged for the Cincinnati May Festival.
