1Buffalo, July 3, 1903.
3JULY brings us our belated summer. June was cold, capricious, tearful; but radiant July, crowned with poppies, regards us with "one vast, substantial smile." Even the merchants whose summer goods have been unsalable look less glum and pessimistic, and we no longer desire to say in the words of the photographer, "Now, look pleasant." Warmer weather means ready sales of light garments, and a general consignment of woolen clothes to the ravages of the ever ready, always hungry moths. Warmer weather brings "vacation days"; pupils' recitals are fewer, to the joy of teacher, student and scribe, especially the latter; for if she praises where praise is well merited, or censures with a view to having faults corrected, she is assailed by someone whose feelings have been hurt. There is a vast difference between sensitiveness and touchiness. Sensitiveness is a quality or attribute which can be conquered by cultivating a philosophic view of life and its minor worries. Touchiness is wounded self esteem allied to petty jealousy. A well regulated mind orders his life so that he is filled with kindly thoughts of his neighbor. He has a wholesome desire to "live and let live," and "like the coral insect takes from the running tide the elements it needs." Let us be just while we are here. Lend a helping hand. Never speak ill of anyone, for no one is perfect; but each one stands a better chance of becoming really good if he be given a chance to do the best that in him lies.
5Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
6As the swift seasons roll!
7Leave thy low vaulted past!
8Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
9Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
10Till thou at length art free,
11Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea.
13The Seventy-fourth Regiment of Buffalo deplores the sudden death of its able bandmaster, Justus G. Miller, a genial, courteous man, a good musician, and in every sense an excellent leader. Under his leadership the Seventy-fourth Regiment Band was renowned for the excellence of its public performances.
15Miss Emma L. Hayward's pupils, numbering twenty-seven and known as the Junior Musical Club, gave a recital on Monday night at Catholic Institute Hall.
17Tuesday evening the very young but promising pupils of Miss Carrie Gillig interpreted a varied program. We have had occasion to mention Miss Gillig before in THE MUSICAL COURIER as one of the most accomplished pupils of Ch. Armand Cornelle. She is not only a faithful, conscientious student, but a fine exponent of Mr. Cornelle's careful training. Her little pupils are studying touch and technic, and their fingers are learning to obey the command of the mind. There is no danger that they will merely pound the piano as though it were an anvil to be struck by main strength. The program was varied and in the main well given, but it would be folly to assert that all were letter perfect. Children of tender years sometimes suffer from stage fright, "even as you and me." However, little Lauretta Gillig, a mere baby, with her tiny fingers was able to play the primo correctly with her sister in the duet "Chœur des Chasseurs de Freischütz." Mary Toegel was excellent. Ruth Maloy, Anna May Burnet, Jeanette Stenz and Clara Hager did well. Miss Klassert played Rubinstein's Melody in F in perfect time, but with no coloring, and lack of melodic expression. Tiny Charlotte Reumann, aged ten, played Beethoven's "Adieu to the Piano" and a Scherzetto of Bachmann with rare intelligence and expression. She will one day make an artist. The musical future of Buffalo lies in the hands of the youths and maidens who are now doing good work. The program follows:

117Last week the assistant teachers in Mrs. Thom's studio gave a number of pupils' recitals. The members of the kindergarten classes have been well taught by Mrs. Harriet J. Marquis, Miss Cossette Brown and Miss Cora Taylor. Saturday afternoon the students who have been taught by Miss Anna Leonard, Miss Gertrude Astell and Mrs. Nellie C. Billings wended their way piano-wards, more or less conscious, more or less proficient, according to temperament or practice, but each little heart anxious to do his or her very best to please teachers and adoring mammas, all of whom fancy that an embryo Bloomfield Zeisler or Gabrilowitsch will one day go forth from some Buffalo home to astonish and delight. Dream on, happy mothers; there is no question but that the average pianist, be he child or adult, is enough "to make reason totter on her throne," and can astonish though he may not always delight his helpless or hapless listener. However, as "recitals" show that there is conscientious effort, there must in time be good results, and we lookers on must perforce encourage the Johnnies and Marys who are taught to believe that the path of glory leads but to the piano. one of two readings
