1mann-Heink's place and impersonated Ortrud bravely. Van Rooy was Telramund and sang it audibly. Blass displayed the sympathetic quality of his voice by singing the King, and Mulhmann sang lustily as the Herald. Damrosch conducted and the audience was large. Monday day night "Aida" was repeated, with Alvarez and Eames in the principal parts. This is the last week of the opera.
3THE MANUSCRIPT SOCIETY.
5THE Manuscript Society of New York held its fourth private meeting of the season at the Wanamaker Art Gallery on Thursday evening, February 27.

36The Venth-Kronold Quartet.
37The Venth-Kronold Quartet played exceptionally well. As the season advances the result of constant playing is shown in the ensemble of these artists.
38Mr. Chais' rich baritone voice earned him a large measure of applause. It is a remarkably sweet voice and of good range.
39Blanche Duffield sang "Dolce Amor," from Pizzi's opera, "Gabriella." A more artistic reading of this composition is hard to imagine, for Miss Duffield's voice lends itself easily to the exacting requirements of coloratura singing.
40Giuseppe Aldo Randegger, the Neapolitan pianist, played a Prelude and a Gavotte by himself, and a Polonaise by van Westerhout. These compositions proved pleasing and were effectively played. Mr. Randegger disclosed a good technic and a fine musical taste.
41Miss Niebuh's magnetic personality and beautiful voice charmed the audience. Her voice is rich and pure.
42Mr. Weedon has a manly tenor of fine quality, which he uses well, but his breath control is not always good. His encore was admirably sung.

75The members of the Monday Musical Club enjoyed an interesting program at the meeting held last week. The program opened with Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream" overture for piano. It was effectively rendered by Mrs. Mollie B. Hall and Miss Alfarett Hill. Miss Clara Williams sang "Spring Night," by Schumann, as well as selections by Saidee Bourgin and Chaminade, and Mrs. Harry R. Hooper and Miss Helene Nathan were heard to advantage in De Koven's "A Winter's Lullaby" and "Frühlingslied," by Cowen, respectively. Miss Mabel Wells and Mrs. Laura Brent Finch rendered a number of delightful violin solos. The program was under the direction of Mrs. Edward F. Steinman. one of two readings

78The cantata of Cowen's "The Rose Maiden," was given on Wednesday evening, February 26, in College Hall, by pupils of David Davis. The music is simple, with some dramatic contrasts, and is well worked out with a view to the natural expression of the thought and situation. The chorus, composed of some thirty-five voices, under the direction of Mr. Davis, sang with earnestness and spirit. Their best work was in "Mid the Waving Rosetrees," the wedding chorus and the chorus of elves.
79The prompt attack, splendid volume and freshness of the voices were particularly in evidence. In a few of the numbers there was apparent a lack of finish and tendency to force. The soloists acquitted themselves quite creditably. Miss Adna Olivia Smith, who took the leading soprano part as Roseblossom, has a voice of pure intonation and some power, although her high notes were uncertain and veiled. The most promising voice is that of the baritone, John Charles Hersh. It is of musical quality and fullness, but needs cultivation to get rid of the rough edges.
80One of the most enjoyable numbers was the duet of "The Forester," for soprano and tenor, sung with artistic interpretation and blending of the voices by William H. Winkelman and Sallie Richards Winkelman. Miss Myrtle Wagner sang the contralto part with good expression. The other soloists were Miss Edith M. Witt, soprano; Miss Bessie Whiteford, alto, and John N. Roberts, tenor. The latter, who took one of the leading parts, has a lyrical voice of much sweetness and beauty. He was heard to the best advantage in the aria, "The Sleep of Even."
81A pleasant surprise to the audience was the interpolation of "The Willow," by Goring Thomas, sung with genuine pathos by Miss Bessie Tudor. As an encore she gave Henschel's "Spring Song." Miss Tudor's singing of the latter was a marvelous piece of interpretation.
83The Symphony concerts this week will present a Wagner request program.

86THIERS PUPILS.—The Gérard-Thiers studios at Carnegie Hall were filled with the pupils of Gérard-Thiers on Saturday evening last. Among the advanced students were Miss Adah Reynolds, Miss Mildred Gilman, Miss Rebecca Spirek, Mrs. Frank E. Ward and Merle Manning. These artists were received with much enthusiasm. Selections from "I Pagliacci," "Ernani" and songs of Schubert and Schumann were particularly appreciated.
88SCHLESINGER SONGS.—At two concerts recently in Paris, in Salle Erard and Salle des Agriculteurs, two songs by Sebastian B. Schlesinger, "Phil's Secret" and "Toryeurs," were spontaneously and heartily encored.
