6CHICAGO, July 11, 1903.
8FROM the size of the audience that gathered to listen to the lecture by Felix Borowski, and the musicale given by members of the faculty of the Chicago Musical College in Fine Arts Music Hall, one would almost forget that hot weather had descended, like a pall, upon the city, driving musicians to cool retreats, and music from the minds and hearts of men. But there was the audience, and there was the lecture to pay them for being there.
10Felix Borowski, head of the department of composition and musical history of the college, is in every way fitted to attract and instruct an audience. His lecture upon "The History of American Music" was replete with interesting data, and well calculated to inspire a patriotic pride in and loyalty to the work our own people have done for the world. Among the many interesting things Mr. Borowski said the tribute he paid to colleges and schools of music was particularly gratifying to a citizen of so great a centre of musical schools as Chicago is. Mr. Borowski aptly said that these schools had aided exceedingly in the cultivation of a wide taste for music of the higher class, and aided development in culture to a degree that cannot be approximated.
12John B. Miller illustrated the lecture by selections from MacDowell, Chadwick and Hawley, singing in a decidedly pleasing manner, with a well trained voice of good quality.
14The musicale was given by Bernhard Listemann, Mabel F. Shorey, contralto, and Karl Reckzeh, pianist. Mr. Listemann is at present head of the college's violin department. There is an interesting career of hard work, true merit and firm recognition by appreciative people back of Mr. Listemann's position of prominence today. He is known throughout the musical world as a violinist of wide culture and authoritative musicianship. His playing today was on the same artistic level that people have come to expect from him, and was highly satisfying.
16Miss Shorey exhibited a voice of excellent quality in the lower registers, but, like so many contraltos, lacking in concentration and power of direction in the upper. Her work was musical, and evinced a marked temperamental force.
18Karl Reckzeh, the Leipsic pianist, was delightful in his readings, showing a talent well tempered by a rich temperament and the poise that comes only with experience and good technic.
20Next Saturday afternoon, July 18, the Chicago Musical College will give the second of its "summer term concerts" in the Music Hall. On this occasion the program will be given by students of the institution. The numbers have been arranged as follows:

47The announcement of musical artists just issued by Manager Charles R. Baker, of Chicago, is without doubt one of the prettiest and most original circulars that we have seen. It is printed in green and old orange ink, on white enameled paper, and requires no mailing envelope after being folded. On the front and to the left we find a portrait of Malek, the Bohemian virtuoso, above which are the words "Compliments of Charles R. Baker, Fine Arts Building, Chicago." In the upper right hand corner is an outlined space for a 1 cent stamp. On the back we find a dainty musical art picture embraced in a graceful scroll. The group of Mr. Baker's artists appears as the circular is unfolded, and descriptive reading matter appears opposite each portrait. The circular is not only very original but exceedingly artistic.
49The Bush Temple Conservatory's Summer School is progressing with satisfactory success to the management, which is remarkable in so young an institution. Mr. Bradley possesses the magic power of persistent labor and untiring energy, which always yields success.
51Mme. Hess-Burr is looking forward to a delightful rest in August. This talented artist will spend her vacation in some quiet retreat where real rest can be obtained.
