5"VACATION days have arrived at last," says the weary teacher. "School's out," cry the happy little ones, to whom the summer season means a long, happy play spell. Many teachers of music think it is a wise plan to have special summer courses of study for the benefit of the many who during nine months of the year are occupied with text books and have little leisure for practice. Other teachers of the piano and voice are having final recitals preparatory to taking a needed rest, a trip to the mountains, the seashore or Europe. As a fitting climax to a season of endeavor, the advanced students of the Szag School of Music gave a concert last night at the Twentieth Century Club Hall for sweet charity, i.e., for the benefit of the Fresh Air Mission. The program follows:

121William Kaffenberger gave a fine program of organ selections at the Noble-Grosvenor wedding last Thursday night at the North Church. His numbers were the "Cantilene Nuptiale" by Dubois, the scherzo from the "Reformation Symphony," the "Pilgrims' Chorus," the "Liebestod," from "Tristan and Isolde," and several "Lohengrin" excerpts. It is always a treat to hear Mr. Kaffenberger play, for he is such a thorough musician.
123At the fifteenth annual convention of the music teachers of New York State, which is held in Troy this week, Buffalo was represented by Vice President Jaroslaw de Zielinski, who gave a piano recital, interpreting Scandinavian and Slavonic music.
125Subscription recitals are now being given at the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church, to last until autumn. The first occurred on June 11 under the able direction of William Gomp, organist, assisted by Harry Fellows with his chorus choir of seventy-five voices.
127The violin pupils of Mrs. Alice Lathrop Scott gave a recital yesterday afternoon at her home, No. 108 Ashland avenue. Selections from Pleyel, Hauser, Hermann, Godard, Accolay, A. Demuth, De Beriot, Cui, Dancla, Erhardt and Bach were played by Robert Browning, Grace Wicks, Spencer Prentiss, Stewart Clement, Charlotte Preston, Fred Beuhl, Julia Fenton and Miss Howell. Mrs. Scott is a charming little woman, as well as an accomplished teacher of the violin. She was formerly a pupil of the Boston Conservatory of Music, Cincinnati College of Music, also the Royal Hoch Schule, Berlin, Germany. She is one of the faculty of the Buffalo School of Music, and has besides a large private class which she instructs in her lovely home on Ashland avenue.
129Another gifted teacher and highly accomplished woman is Mrs. Alice Whelpton McLeod, who was a fine amateur pianist before she went abroad for further study. She returned a finished professional, one who has always received a warm welcome upon the concert platform. She loves her chosen work and is brimful of enthusiasm. Mrs. McLeod gave a recital last Tuesday afternoon, in which some of her pupils played. The program follows:
130Deux Sarabandes………………………………………Bach
131Bourree…………………………………………………….Bach
132Miss Lucilla Dunbar.
133Menuett……………………………………………………Beethoven

140Romberg's "Lay of the Bell."
142A performance of Romberg's "Lay of the Bell," given Monday evening of last week by the Westfield Choral Society, of Huguenot, S. I., Franz L. Huebner, of New York, was the principal soloist. Mr. Huebner received much praise for his artistic delivery of the difficult basso part. The fine singing of the chorus was due to the efficient work of the musical director, Earle C. Hinman, of New York. The concert, given at the Dutch Reformed Church at Huguenot, attracted a large audience.
144Singing in the Parks.
146A meeting of the United Singers of Brooklyn last week the executive committee voted to resume the singing at the smaller parks during the summer months. The innovation introduced last year met with universal favor. The first concert will be given by the Williamsburg Saengerbund at Fort Greene Park, July 12. Felix Jaeger will direct the program. The different societies will arrange to give concerts at various parks.
