13Cunningham's Plans.
15CLAUDE CUNNINGHAM is already being booked for next spring by Manager Fitzhugh W. Haensel. The successful baritone's winter dates are filled beyond expectation, and some of his spring appearances will be in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Nashville, Memphis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis, at least four cities in Texas, Denver, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Fargo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Terre Haute, Buffalo, Albany and Nashua, N. H. Mr. Cunningham is at present working on a literary labor of love, a book to be called "Correct Breathing for Singers," and the author has recently spent most of his leisure time in the dissecting room of a large local hospital, carrying on a series of investigations and confirming certain views on breathing as governed by the diaphragm and the intercostal and abdominal muscles.
17Janet Spencer's Season.

October 10 he played solos at a concert in New Britain, Conn., and October 14 he was soloist at the "Deutsche Free Press Club" anniversary.
25The Staats-Zeitung praises the speakers of the evening, then continues:
27The most exquisite portion of the evening was, however, the music. The well known violin artist, Hjalmar von Dameck, opened the program with a paraphrase on "Pagliacci," also playing an encore, with virtuosity and artistic finish.
29Mr. Von Dameck visited Europe, as usual this summer, and has resumed teaching. At the concert by the faculty of the New York College of Music, November 5, in Carnegie Hall, he will play an adagio and "Dance of the Elves," by Ries.
31EMMA CALVE'S CONCERT TOUR.
33EMMA CALVE, the celebrated French prima donna, arrived in New York Saturday on the steamer La Savoie. She returns under the management of Cort & Kronberg to undertake the first concert tour of America. The soprano was accompanied by a retinue of servants, including a chauffeur, her personal chef, three maids and her secretary. The singer is an automobilist enthusiast and will take her 60 horse power motor with her on the trip as far as practicable. At any rate, she will have it in all the Eastern cities and Chicago.

40Letters at This Office.
42THE following letters are at the office of THE MUSICAL COURIER:
43Prof. Edward Mollenhauer.
44Ward Stephens.
46A new quartet has been organized by Charlotte Babcock for song cycles. It consists of Ethel Crane, soprano; Dolores Reedy, alto; Cecil James, tenor, and Tom Daniels, bass. It will be heard in concert this season in Orlando Morgan's "In Fairyland" and Henschel's "Servian Romance."
48Musical Briefs.
50Grace Longley, the young soprano, will sing at two performances of "The Messiah" during Christmas week, in Portchester, N. Y., and White Plains, N. Y. Miss Longley is rapidly coming to the front as one of our best oratorio singers, and has already booked a number of engagements for this season.
52Irwin J. Morgan is the composer of a new patriotic song entitled "Roosevelt, the Peace Victor," Mr. Morgan, who is one of Washington's clever musicians, wrote both the words and music upon the inspiration of the moment when peace between Russia and Japan was declared. It was orchestrated by the leader of the Marine Band, of Washington, and played at the peace reception tendered to President Roosevelt in the White House.
54Charles Bassett, the tenor, who studied with Vannuccini at Florence and with Pozzo at Milan, and has had a successful operatic career both here and abroad, is an addition to the ranks of resident vocal teachers. He has opened a studio at 138 Fifth avenue, New York, and a Brooklyn studio at 330 Fulton street. He devotes Tuesdays and Fridays to his New York pupils.
56Sophie Burnham, the soprano of high range and artistic method, demonstrated by her singing of operatic ballads at Keith's last week that she is a valuable acquisition to vaudeville. Her decision to temporarily forsake concert singing for the continuous results in a big gain for the latter, as attested by the enthusiastic reception given her at every appearance.
58Margaret Goetz gave an interesting lecture song recital on the "Songs of Germany," from the fourteenth century to the present time, before the students and faculty of Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, on the afternoon of October 4. Bach's "Chorales" and "The Linden Tree," folk-song of 1549, were among the ancient ballads interpreted by Miss Goetz. Twelve other eminent old time composers were represented in her program. Ruth Savage acted as accompanist.
60Marie S. Bissell, the well known vocal teacher, has returned to town and has resumed teaching. Her class for the coming season promises to be the largest in her experience, but she proposes to teach only four days in the week. During her vacation Miss Bissell visited Lake Mohonk and other places.
62Claude Cunningham and Eugene Heffley constituted the judges chosen by Zilpha Barnes Wood to select from among the applicants for a free scholarship the young singer showing most promise in voice, talent and temperament. The trial occurred October 14, and Nonette Schoonmaker, soprano, of Brooklyn, received the highest number of marks. Edward H. St. John, baritone, was a close second, so that a partial scholarship was recommended for him.
