1WINONA ASSEMBLY.
2WINONA LAKE, Ind., August 10, 1902.
4THE three most auspicious concerts given in the last week were the piano recital on last Friday evening by Miss Adele Westfield, the song recital by E. A. Jahn, baritone, on Tuesday evening, and the Mendelssohn Quartet on Wednesday evening. The young pianist was greeted by a fair sized audience, which was rather inclined to be cold. Her program contained some very ambitious numbers, among others Chopin's Nocturne in C and his "Ecossaise," which she handled with a great deal of skill. She has a big technic, and gets big singing tones.
6Herr Schliwien contributed two numbers, making a decided impression with "Walther's Prize Song." His violin has that beautiful amoroso quality, and was exquisite in the great aria.
8The song recital on Tuesday evening drew a somewhat larger audience, but only half as many as came to hear the ventriloquist, or see the moving picture machine, manifesting the craving that still lurks in the human breast for popular instead of artistic entertainment.
10Mr. Jahn was somewhat handicapped owing to a recent illness, and was still weak.
12But as the program wore on he warmed up to a surprising degree and gave us some glorious crescendos. His program was almost strictly classical.
14He gave us something new in the "Die Rothe auf grüner Heid," from the pen of the German composer and critic, Lessman, which was perhaps the most trying number on the program. He was assisted by W. S. Sterling, organist, and Miss Westfield at the piano.
16The Mendelssohns digress from the average male quartet in that they do very good solo work.
18In their quartet work they took the house by storm, and we feel safe in asserting that they do the finest shading and phrasing of any similar organization on the road. Miss Kathryn Gibbons, soprano, pupil of W. S. Sterling, arrived the early part of the week to rehearse for the oratorio to be given the 15th inst. She sang the aria "O Grant Me in the Dust to Fall," from "Ludmilla" (Dvorák), in the quartet program, and made an artistic triumph.
20The faculty—W. S. Sterling, Richard Schliwien, E. A. Jahn, Adele Westfield—assisted by Kathryn Gibbons, give a concert at Benton Harbor, Mich., next week.
22W. S. Weeden, baritone, of New York, and B. F. Butts, tenor, of Pittsburg, who have been doing evangelistic singing for the last week here, went fishing Tuesday a. m., at 4 o'clock. About 8 o'clock they returned hungry, fishless and one of them wet. It seems Butts got a bite and could not land the mammoth carp, when Weeden in excitement rushed to his end of the boat, and as he weighs 250 pounds he tripped on an apple seed and went into the lake. His gallant co-laborer made a crescendo and succeeded in landing him on high "A," after which he was pretty well winded and rested for seventeen bars. They decided to pull in their lines and reach terra firma as soon as possible. So they plied their oars in a beautiful barcarolle movement and landed staccato on shore.

29GRAND FORKS NEWS.
31THE Music Club was very successful during the past year. Many good programs were given and several concerts.
33Miss Veronica Murphy, of Chicago, pianist, assisted by Mrs. Thomas, soprano; Mrs. Gordon, accompanist; Mrs. Kelly, contralto, and Miss Koller gave one of the most delightful programs we have heard. She is a pupil of Regina Watson, and will concertize next fall.
35Miss Koller, pianist and teacher, of Grand Forks, left for her home in Norway recently. She will be much missed; several social functions were given in her honor.
37I have enclosed my two class programs. Recitals were quite a success:
39"Danse Napolitaine," Smith, Miss Calvert, Mrs. Gordon; paper, "Dance Music," Mrs. Cooley; violin solo, "Cavatine," Oscar Schmidt, Master Maurice Girard; "Pizzicato Polka," Delibes; Gavotte, Leoncavallo; Gavotte, Bach, Miss Koller; "Philomella Waltz," Vanderpool, Mrs. Fuller; "Fire Magic," Wagner-Brassin, Miss Marian Titus; "Tannhäuser," march (two pianos), Miss Calvert, Mrs. Gordon.

47Professor James gave a class recital June 19.
49The Chautauqua at Devil's Lake opened June 27. Mr. Phelps, of Minneapolis, was the musical director. The Indian band from Fort Sorten is the most enjoyable feature of the Chautauqua.

59FABIAN GIVES CLOSING RECITAL.
61S. M. FABIAN gave the closing piano recital in the summer term series at the Clavier Piano School last Monday evening. The handsome hall on West Twenty-second street, near Fifth avenue, was crowded to overflowing with a most enthusiastic audience. The pianist, who is a teacher of interpretation at the school and an American artist of remarkable gifts, played a "request" program:
63Thirty-two Variations, C minor………………………………………Beethoven
64Rondo (Perpetual Movement)………………………………………von Weber
65Deux Etudes, op. 10, No. 5; op. 25, No. 9………………………..Chopin
66Nocturne, F sharp major……………………………………………..Chopin
67Valse, G flat major…………………………………………………….Chopin
68Mazurka, B minor…………………………………………………….Chopin
69Ballade, G minor…………………………………………………….Chopin
70Valse, A flat major……………………………………………………Rubinstein
71Moment Musicale, F minor…………………………………………..Schubert
72Danse Caprice………………………………………………………..Grieg
73Wedding March and Elf Dance………………………………………Mendelssohn-Liszt
75From the frantic applause which greeted the performer after certain numbers it was evident that those who had made the "requests" were there in force. Mr. Fabian was compelled to repeat the second Chopin study, "The Butterfly." Fabian possesses the soft limpid touch which strongly recalls de Pachmann's playing of Chopin's works. On the other hand when Fabian gets to the other extreme he becomes a lion at the keyboard. With the exception of the unfamiliar waltz by Nicholas Rubinstein the program numbers are so well known to students of music that comment seems unnecessary. After the Mendelssohn "Wedding March" and "Elf Dance" Mr. Fabian, in response to prolonged applause, played "The Erlking," by Schubert-Liszt.
77The summer school closed today. Examinations will be held during the week, and then the director, A. K. Virgil, and the members of the faculty will leave town for their annual vacation. The fall term begins in October.
79BLAUVELT CONCERT AT BAR HARBOR.—Mme. Lillian Blauvelt, the prima donna, gave a concert at the Casino in Bar Harbor, Me., last Monday evening. The boxes were occupied by wealthy summer residents, and in all respects the affair was the most brilliant musical event ever given at the exclusive Maine resort.
