1CHAUTAUQUA
3CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., August 22, 1903.
5RECOGNITION DAY at Chautauqua has come and gone, and now that this great event has transpired the thirtieth annual Chautauqua Assembly may be said to be slowly slipping into history. This commencement day of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (commonly termed "Recognition Day" here at Chautauqua) marked the graduation this year of the "Quarter Century" class. The long procession, the host of flower girls, the passing of the arches and of the golden gate, the exercises in the grove, followed in turn by the public recognition in the amphitheatre and the diplomas given in token of the completed course, all had their part in the exercises of the day. The "Choir of the Hall in the Grove," conducted by Director Hallam, furnished all the music of the day.
7On Sunday evening last, at the close of the Sacred Song Service, Mr. Messenger, of Warren, Pa., in behalf of the Chautauqua Chorus, presented to Director Alfred K. Hallam a beautiful silver loving cup and large bouquet of flowers as an expression of the high esteem in which he is held by the members of the organization. Mr. Hallam, in accepting the gift, expressed his gratification at the sentiments of his chorus as indicated by their gift, and said he had come to know and to love those with whom he had been working this summer. He voiced the hope that as many as possible would remain to the close of the season and that many would return to the ranks for service in the years that are to come. The chorus has now fallen off at least 50 per cent. in numbers since the two performances of "Elijah" were given, but an organization will be maintained until the season closes.
9Yesterday was Children's Day at Chautauqua, and at least 3,000 children from Western New York and elsewhere were upon the grounds, largely under the auspices of their respective Sunday schools. One of the features of the occasion was a concert in the amphitheatre in which many of these children took an active part. The Chautauqua Junior Choir was the nucleus for this event, which was a most successful one in every way.
11An instrumental recital by the Chautauqua Mandolin and Guitar Club delighted a large audience on Saturday afternoon. This was the annual recital of the club in Higgins Hall, and as the club has done such painstaking work this season and heightened so many evenings by its entertaining preludes and prefaces, the large audience that sought admission and even standing room in the hall were not doomed to any disappointment.
13The solo numbers were sustained by Miss Louisa Orinda Miller, of Sherman, N. Y., and John Nichols, of the Chautauqua vocal department. Joseph Rogers, of Jamestown, N. Y., Misses Mildred and Helen Ulery, of Delaware, Ohio, also rendered solos. The credit of the undertaking is due Mrs. Anna M. B. Robertson, of Wellsville, N. Y., the organizer and director.
15The membership of the club follows:
16Mandolins—Charles Raisig, Pittsburg, Pa.; Irving Dewey, Syracuse, N. Y.; Mr. Vincent, Syracuse, N. Y.; Miss Lena Everson, Miss Lora Foster, Bradford, Pa.; Miss Florence Hagely, Panama, N. Y.; Mr. Lown, Batavia, N. Y.; Mrs. Maurice McCray, Bradford, Pa.; Glenn Russell, Toledo, Ohio; Howard Sadlar, Akron, Ohio; Miss Carrie Williams, New Albany, Miss.; Louis Wells, Wellsville, Ohio; Miss Dixie Williams, Hot Springs, Ark.; Miss Zenobia Welch, Anderson, S. C.; Leonard Ritts, Titusville, Pa.; Edwin Loomis, Troy, Pa.; Joseph Rogers, Jamestown, N. Y.; Miss Mildred Ulery, Delaware, Ohio; Miss Adele H. Kauter, Detroit, Mich.; Miss Gladys E. Bliss, Sherman, N. Y.; S. H. Boren, Dallas, Tex.; Miss Mildred Spring, Jamestown, N. Y.; Miss Lulu Robbins, Bradford, Pa.; Miss Minnie Beatty, Pittsburg, Pa.; Brenx Ballard, Louisville, Ky.; Frank Blanchard, Shelbyville, Ind.

Y.; Miss Olive Thomas, Dayton, Ohio; Winters Thomas, Dayton, Ohio; Mr. Herrick, Batavia, N. Y.; Miss Blanche Erwine, Jamestown, N. Y.; Mrs. Alfred Hallam, Mt. Vernon, N. Y.; Miss Josephine Bowman, Hornellsville, N. Y.

22Accompanists—Mrs. John Marsh, Danville, Ill.; Miss Genevieve Alger, Wellsville, N. Y.
24On Monday evening in Dr. Carl E. Dufft's studio at the Pier there was perfected a guild organization for the benefit of all the vocal students who attend and register at the Chautauqua School of Vocal Music. There has been a pressing need and a strong desire for a library of musical literature to which access could be had and knowledge on every subject in the realm of music obtained—scores of all the oratorios, operas, song classics, ancient and modern, with markings of the traditional renderings of all standard works—and we are to presume that to obtain this library will be one of the efforts of the new guild through its "Library Association." The officers are: President, Dr. Carl E. Dufft; vice president, John T. Watkins; secretary and treasurer, John W. Nichols; committee, John B. Marsh and Miss Doench. A second meeting of the guild will be held on the coming Monday evening.
26The Disciple Headquarters reported a very pleasant surprise last Tuesday when a Story & Clark organ was placed in their audience room by Messrs. Denton, Cotier & Daniels, of Buffalo. The Disciple Headquarters people are very thankful to the music firm for so valuable a present, and to A. B. Kellogg, of Buffalo, in that he interested the firm in making such a gift.
28Mr. Marcossen played the Bruch G minor Concerto at Wednesday's concert and Mr. Sherwood two Liszt numbers. Edward P. Johnson, the tenor, sang "Salve Di mora," from "Faust"; Miss Buckley a group of old Scotch and English songs, and Dr. Dufft two "Kinderlieder." There is no contralto for the final period. The Guilmant Sonata or Symphony, announced to be played, with the orchestra, by Mr. Flager, was superseded by a band concert, no reason for the change being given.
30The final Sherwood-Marcossen recital in Higgins Hall on last Monday contained two additional names as assisting artists—Walter Spry and Francis Moore, both of Chicago. The program, a most interesting one, read as follows:
32Sonata in G for piano and violin……………………………Rubinstein
33Mr. Sherwood and Mr. Marcossen.
34Waltz, Man Lebt nur Einmal……………………………Strauss-Tausig
35Frances Moore.
36Variations (two pianos)……………………………Beethoven-Saint-Saëns
37Mr. Sherwood and Walter Spry.
38Romance, E minor………………………………………Sinding
39Two Caprices…………………………………………Paganini
40Spanish Dance (Zapateado)……………………………Sarasate
41Mr. Marcossen.
42Fantasie, C major………………………………………Schumann
43Mr. Sherwood.
45Both Mr. Spry and Mr. Moore proved exceedingly capable assistants, Mr. Spry being a member of the Sherwood forces in Chicago and Mr. Moore probably the most distinguished of the younger Sherwood pupils.
47Mrs. Bertha Kunz-Baker read from "Much Ado About Nothing" in the amphitheatre on Wednesday evening, before an immense audience, and Thursday evening the second "Authors' Night" of the Press Club proved a most interesting affair. Readings from their own works were given by Hamlin Garland, Ida Husted Harper, Julia Ellen Rogers and Louis E. Van Norman. The "reading" terminated in season, that the members might participate in the review of the "Illuminated Fleet."
49The concert of last evening in the amphitheatre consisted entirely of "request numbers."
51RALPH HOWARD PENDLETON.
53A Silver Jubilee.
55THE Bostonians began their twenty-fifth annual season at the Academy of Music on Monday evening with De Koven's ever tuneful opera, "Robin Hood." Messrs. Barnabee and MacDonald are still with the organization.
