1A Reception for an Artist.
3MRS. ELIZABETH HAZARD, the soprano, gave a reception Saturday evening of last week at her apartment in Ardsley Hall, in honor of Monsieur Mucka, the distinguished poster artist of Paris.

The reception was held in the spacious and handsome assembly room on the main floor, and supper was served in the private apartments of the hostess on the second floor. Mrs. Hazard wore a gown of black spangled chiffon over satin.

8Francis Rogers' Engagements.
10NEXT Sunday, April 24, the South Church choir gives its last oratorio of the season, "Elijah," in which Francis Rogers will sing the title part. Last Sunday, April 17, he sang the part of Christ and that of the bass Narrator in Gounod's "Redemption."
12Here are some recent miscellaneous press notices of Mr. Rogers' work:
14From first to last Mr. Rogers won a thorough artistic success, fully satisfying the expectations of his warmest admirers. He excelled in many directions, winning praise not merely by the fulness and power of his tones, but because of the well controlled expression he exhibited in the more dramatic as well as the more delicate numbers of his program.—Boston Advertiser.
16He is a singer whose art is gaining in ripeness and in technical command of his resources through his application to it of intelligence, hard work and fine musical feeling, and whose singing it is therefore an increasing pleasure to hear.—New York Times.
18Mr. Rogers is an artist of rare ability and intellect.—Princetonian, Princeton, N. J.
20He is one of those singers who accomplish big things in interpretation by the fusion of heart, mind and art in their work of blending sentiment and music. He wins his way by the beauty of his tone, the subtlety of his art, the honesty of his method, the influence of his feeling, the fine poise and beautiful simplicity of his efforts and his dignified attitude toward song.—Newark Evening News.
22His singing last evening delighted his hearers. He possesses a baritone voice of fine quality.—Springfield Republican.
24Mr. Rogers' voice is baritone, vibrant, vigorous and perfectly artistic in all the numbers given. Perhaps it was the style, the art and the way the value of each song was presented that made the deepest impression.—Holyoke Daily Transcript.
26His voice is a rich, powerful organ, which he uses with dignity and elegance of method.—Chicago Record-Herald.
28Percy Hemus' Notices.
30PERCY HEMUS met with his usual success at the Paterson festival. This was his fourth appearance with Mr. Wiske within the past two seasons—first with Raoul Pugno and the Orpheus Club, and again that season with the same club in excerpts from grand opera. At the close of the festival Mr. Hemus was engaged by the director of the Passaic Choral Club to sing the same work (Rossini's "Stabat Mater") May 19.
32Press notices follow:
34Mr. Hemus, gifted with a splendid voice and a peculiar talent for the "grand and gloomy," was impressively sardonic in the aria from Boito's "Mefistofele," in which the Evil One sets forth his character as "The Spirit that Denieth," and he sang the "Pro Peccatis" beautifully.
36Percy Hemus, baritone of St. Patrick's Cathedral, was in excellent voice, and his rendition of the "Pro Peccatis" was faultless. Mr. Hemus has become a popular favorite in Paterson. In the past two years he has sung here four different times, and it is perhaps not too much to say that he stands in the first rank of American baritones.
38MADAME MACONDA AT CLEVELAND.
40MADAME MACONDA sang in Cleveland, Ohio, April 7, with the celebrated Rubinstein Club of that city, scoring her usual decided success. The Cleveland newspapers spoke in the following glowing terms of Madame Maconda's singing:
42Madame Maconda, the assisting soloist, is a coloratura singer of pronounced ability. Her voice is brilliant, and possesses withal a degree of temperamental color which lends interest also to her song interpretation. The Mignon Polonaise was a brilliant exposition of coloratura vocalism. Her method is approximately perfect, her taste refined and artistic and her tone production immaculate. Madame Maconda was received with much enthusiastic applause, and responded to several encores.—Cleveland Press.
44The Rubinstein Club's last concert for this season was held at Plymouth Church last evening, and was attended by a large audience. The soloist of the evening was Mme. Charlotte Maconda, whose fame had preceded her, and who was enthusiastically received, at first because of what the people had heard she could do, and, second, because of what she was doing. Madame Maconda has a voice full and clear, with a brilliancy which makes every note a jewel.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
46The club was assisted last evening by Mme. Charlotte Maconda, soprano, of New York City. She gave a varied program of songs, including "Nussbaum" and "Auftrag" of Schumann; others by Gounod, Grieg and Strauss, and Polonaise from "Mignon," by Thomas. She gave also several encores and an extra number which added to the brilliancy and versatility of her selections. She is a singer of delightful presence and won her audience by her evident capabilities. The accompaniments, which were particularly fine, were played by Mrs. George Bigelow.—Cleveland Leader.
48An Elgar Estimate.
50ELGAR is typical of the new state of things in musical England. He is the one man who has known how to live the artistic life consistently and, keeping clear of all distractions, academic or social, and turning a deaf ear to the suggestions of commercialism, to let his genius ripen and bear fruit, unforced and unchecked.—Manchester Guardian.
