3CLEVELAND, June 25, 1903.
5URING this season of pupils' recitals, two under the direction of Charles S. Burnham, at the First Baptist Church, were attended by significantly large audiences. As is to be expected, Mr. Burnham's pupils sing with individuality and a style both expressive and musical. Among those presented were Miss Frances Sanderson, Mrs. Frank Stone, Miss Carrie' Hudson, Miss Grace Thum, Miss Norma Dibble, Miss Jessie Bromley, Miss Edna Diehl, Mrs. Elsie Smith, Miss Charlotte Grannis, Miss Lila Robeson, Almon Knowles, Oscar V. Greene, James McMahon and Joshua Williams.

40A new feature was the college orchestra, under the direction of Carl Dueringer.
42On the second evening Charles Haverdill, tenor, sang several songs very effectively, ably accompanied by Miss Louise Hast.
44The joint recital of Mrs. Ford and Mr. Witherspoon at the Country Club, announced for June 12, was postponed one week on account of impossible weather. Mrs. Ford sang "Absence," Tirindelli; "Stolen Wings," Willeby; "Woodland Madrigal," Batten; "June," Tease; "Amour," Tosti; "Ariette," Vidal; "Le Desir," Goring Thomas; "Les Filles de Cadiz," Delibes; "Morning Hymn," Henschel; "Sunshine Song," Grieg; "Traume," Wagner, and "Spring Song," Weil.
46Mr. Witherspoon gave a group of nine French, German and English songs, and, together with Mrs. Ford, sang the "Wanderer's Night Song," Rubinstein; "La Ci Dàrem," Mozart, and the Recitative and Duo from "Hamlet," by Ambroise Thomas.
48Miss Prentiss was accompanist.
50Mr. Witherspoon gives a recital in Sandusky soon with Miss Anna Lockwood, pianist and accompanist.
52A concert that achieved unusual distinction was given in Canton June 10 by Miss Caroline Harter, violinist; Miss Sarah Lavin and Mrs. O. E. Portman, sopranos; Miss Eva Piendlar, contralto; A. J. Nusly, 'cellist, and Mrs. Anna Loichot, accompanist.
54Miss Harter was heard in a Wieniawski Romance, Sarasate Dance and Hubay "Czarda," compositions in which her technical and temperamental qualities have free scope, and invariably evoke repeated rounds of applause.
56In fine voice and classic style Mrs. Portman sang "Sunday," by Franz, and "Jubal's Lyre," Handel.
58The effect of Miss Lavin's pure soprano voice was enhanced by the association with the mellow 'cello tones of the obligato in Bizet's "Lamb of God."
60The accompaniments by Mrs. Loichot were such as a singer delights to honor.
62Edwin Douglass, tenor, who has such a widespread reputation as an oratorio singer, recently won new decorations in a presentation of the "Creation" at Warren, Ohio. Warren is one of those small towns with an artistic appreciation in reverse proportion to its size. Hence an ovation there means as much or more than many Mr. Douglass remembers in larger cities.
64With health much improved, Dr. William Henninges has just returned from a trip abroad. For the summer he will divide his time between his studios and the country.
66The convention of the Ohio Music Teachers' Association, now in session here, is the best of a decade in the number and quality of its participating artists.
