1MUSICAL COURIER OFFICES—FINE ARTS BUILDING.
3CHICAGO, Ill., June 26, 1903.
5THAT public interest in the Thomas Orchestra is thoroughly aroused is proved by the fact that renewals for next season already exceed by $2,500 the sale of seats of a year ago. This is causing the management to rejoice, for its experience has been that the "renewals" at this time of year are prophetic of the success of the season. The management does not rejoice alone, for the awakening of public interest—the interest that counts for results—to the value of the orchestra foretells the preservation of the organization to the students and lovers of music who build upon the opportunities given by the orchestral concerts. The program, with themes and data upon the masterpieces to be presented by the orchestra, has just been issued and is a valuable addition to the volumes compiled in the preceding years by Mr. Harris. one of two readings

8Apropos of the concerts, the orchestra announces that the organization will tour two weeks in November in the West, and will in all probability have two weeks in the East in March, visiting New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Then there will be the Cincinnati May festival and two weeks of festivals in Western States. Dunstan Collins will have the direction of the tours, as usual.
10A complete circular announces the reorganization of the Chicago Sextet Club, originated by Mathew Ballmann, into Mathew Ballmann's Quintet Club. This comprises Mr. Ballmann, flutist; Alexander Krauss, violinist; Walter Unger, 'cellist; Thorvald Otterstrom, pianist, and Miss Martha Koenigsman, soprano, all, with the exception of Miss Koenigsman, artists of the Chicago Orchestra and among the most distinguished. Their long association has brought their ensemble work to a point of such rare excellence that their work is productive of the greatest enjoyment and satisfaction. The club has planned a wide field of activity, being available for all kinds of entertainment, private or public, classic, popular or religious, and that the work will be of the highest class is a foregone conclusion. A number of press notices appended to the circular attest the appreciation and delight with which the several artists have been received in the principal American cities.
12The pupils of Mme. Dove Boetti, under the patronage of the Countess Rozwadowska, gave a recital Thursday evening in Handel Hall. Madame Boetti is well known in musical circles as a teacher of merit, and her pupils reflect her spirit and method in a pleasing and satisfactory manner.
14Mrs. W. S. Bracken was one of the hardest worked artists at the Illinois Music Teachers' Association, not only filling her scheduled announcement but with grace and willingness supplying for artists who were unable to keep their appointments. That Mrs. Bracken is possessed of versatility of talent and artistic ability was once more amply proved by her work in Galesburg.
16Chicago friends of Charles W. Clarke are delighted over that artist's success in Paris, and perhaps find a more than holy joy in the fact that he is demonstrating to Europe that America's art culture is not an "infant industry."
18Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Butler were heard to splendid advantage in the recital at the Illinois Teachers' Association. These two artists are easily conceded to belong in the ranks of Chicago's most finished and cultured musicians.
20Before the regular season of the Thomas Orchestra concerts begin in Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Bruno Steindel, assisted by Mrs. Ada Markland Sheffield, soprano, will tour for two weeks in the West. This tour will be under the direction of Mr. Collins, as have the last six annual tours of these estimable artists.
22The summer normal session of the American Conservatory opened Wednesday, June 24, with a large attendance, many pupils from a distance attending. There will be lectures on "Modern Piano Teaching" by John J. Hattstaedt, also a series of conversations on "The Musical Training of Children," by Miss Helen Jordan, and some interesting recitals by members of the faculty. The first one will take place Monday, June 29, at 11 o'clock, at Kimball Hall. Miss Louise Blish and Howard Wells will perform. The following is the program:
