1ed); Tholer prize, 200 francs (comedy); Bouchere legacy, 700 francs (tragedy). The cash prizes of 800 francs for violin and 1,000 francs for 'cello were both gained by females.
3At the Conservatoire, for some reason, of which I am ignorant, there are two different competitions for males and females in the piano class, but it is the same for both sexes in the violin class. A journal asks why there should not also be two different examinations for the violin competitors, pointing out that a first prize carried off by a woman may perhaps be the means of hindering a man from earning his living, whereas it is to her very often simply a useless souvenir. An English girl whom I knew in Paris, where she was studying for opera, once told me of the immense number of female students of singing at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where she herself had been a pupil. "How is it, then," I asked, "that one seldom hears of them as public singers? What becomes of them?" "Oh, I scarcely know," was the hesitating reply, "Well, I believe they nearly all get married."
5There will be important changes in the professors of singing at the Conservatoire next season. Two of them are ill and not expected to be able to resume their duties in time, one (Vergnet) is engaged for the States—Chicago, I believe—one is in disgrace, and the others are not remarkable. Still the results in this department are vastly superior to last year. Two of the first prizes are engaged for the Opéra, and two for the Opéra Comique.
7The performances at Bayreuth this season are not meeting with universal approval. The following is by H. Gauthier Villars, the spirited author of "Claudine à l'école," &c., and appeared in the Echo de Paris. Villars is an excellent judge of music, besides being a clever and brilliant writer. It is not generally known that he is the author of the translation of Mozart's operetta "Bastien et Bastienne," performed at the Opéra Comique.
9I receive an awful number of letters asking me for details of the Bayreuth performances. My dear correspondents, go yourselves to Cosima City if you are bitten by that mania. You will return, like myself, cured of Wagnerism. At Bayreuth the widow of Wagner reigns. Everything has to bend before the Semiramis of Wahnfried, who sees all, knows all, and thrusts her nose every-

42WORCESTER MUSIC FESTIVAL.
43WORCESTER, Mass., August 24, 1902.
44THE board of managers of the Worcester Music Festival make this announcement of the forty-fifth annual festival to be held in Mechanics Hall, Worcester, Mass., September 29 to October 3, 1902:
45In general the forty-fifth festival will follow closely as to outline its immediate predecessors. The arrangement of the rehearsals and concerts is that to which festival patrons have become accustomed. A single departure from this arrangement is the change in organization affecting the conductorship.
46Wallace Goodrich is to conduct the choral works and Franz Kneisel the orchestral numbers. The board of governors has realized the burden carried in the past by the conductor of the festival, in being obliged to conduct many hours a day, almost uninterruptedly, for nearly a week; and this year has introduced the plan of a joint conductorship, which will guarantee to each conductor relief from the excessive severity of the work in the past.
47The program of choral works includes two, from modern composers, with whom the festival is personally acquainted, and one very old work, which is, nevertheless,
49SOUSA'S FALL TOUR.
50THE twenty-first semi-annual and sixth transcontinental tour of Sousa and his band will begin next Tuesday at Hagerstown, Md., and on the following day the band will inaugurate its fifth season at the Pittsburg Exposition. Two weeks later Sousa will play at the Indiana State Fair at Indianapolis for two days, and will then give a three days' festival at the Coliseum, Peoria, Ill. Thence the band continues the tour to the Pacific Coast and Southwest, returning to New York in December for a series of concerts before sailing for Europe, December 24.
51Mr. Sousa has arranged to open his third foreign tour at Queen's Hall, London, on Friday, January 2, continuing for eight days, after which an extended tour will be made in the provinces. Frank Christianer, manager of the band, sails for London next week to arrange for the British and Continental bookings.
52Col. George Frederic Hinton, assistant manager, started on the California trip on Monday, and George N. Loomis rejoins the organization as business manager. The Sousa Band will celebrate the tenth anniversary of its founding in Chicago on September 26.
54In Shanghai a German association has been formed for the propagation of German concert music.
56In honor of Mozart's memory his Requiem was sung recently at Salzburg.
58Carl Klindworth has made a new piano score of Wagner's "Parsifal."
