1and other like admissions. One or two of these testimonials from the leaders in Israel are appended below:
2I listened with great profit and genuine pleasure to his thoughtful, very clear, and therefore very instructive playing. The remarks he made on each composition were interesting and subtle.—Nationalzeitung, February 3, 1905.
4At Beethoven Hall Otto Neitzel, the well known composer and critic, gave a "piano recital with verbal explanations," which attracted a very numerous audience. The artist opened his performance, which included Beethoven only, and the sonatas, op. 78, No. 106 (for the "Hammerklavier"), and the fantaisie, op. 77, with some captivating remarks which embodied a general view of the nature and origin of composition. He outlined the theoretical structure and meaning of the works presented in an extremely interesting and animating manner. The organic thought continuity of the compositions, their structure and development, aided by the reproductions at the piano, stood out before the hearer well defined and plastic, a palpable picture of musical composition from its constructive side.
5In his character of pianist Neitzel has often received a fitting estimate. On this occasion he again revealed himself to be a master on his instrument, an artist who combines with surpassing technical perfection extraordinary intelligence and mental power.—Das Kleine Journal, February 1, 1905.
7The explanations were genuinely stimulating. Neitzel's excellent piano performances met with general favor.—Der Reichsbote, March 15, 1905.
9Mrs. Severn's Pupils.
11SOME of Mrs. Edmund Severn's pupils who are making names for themselves include: Nettie Vester, now with "The Wizard of Oz," as Dorothy, and who is considering an offer from a London manager for next spring; Arthur Earnest, basso cantante, with Whitney's "Mayor of Kankakee," which opens in Chicago this month; Harry E. Brown, tenor, who has resigned his position as choirmaster in the Methodist Church, at Stratford, to take a better one here; Emily Batlo, coloratura soprano, who has received a most flattering offer to go on tour with a musical comedy company, but has refused in order to continue her studies with Mrs. Severn; Jessie Graham, who has sung much in concert and recently has been in vaudeville, singing in Buffalo, Albany and many other cities.
12Mrs. Severn has many very promising pupils, who have not yet appeared before the public.
14Jackson Opens Concert Tour.
16ON JACKSON, the tenor, opened his concert tour in Pennsylvania with an interesting song recital in the Salem Chapel, Allentown, Pa., on the evening of October 2. In the press notices of the affair the Allentown Chronicle said:
17It was an evening of high vocal art and a pleased audience left Salem Chapel after having heard the beautiful song recital given by Dr. Ion Jackson. A varied program, consisting of old English ballads, and selections by Strauss, Schubert, Rizzo, Huhn, Nevin and others, had been arranged. Dr. Jackson was at his best and his exquisite tenor voice was never heard to better advantage. He has never sung here with greater beauty of tone, more delicate finish, or deeper and wider expression.
19The Allentown Call said:
20The program could not have been better. * * * Dr. Jackson's voice was equal to all of its varied demands. His work in connection with former Arion concerts has given him an enviable reputation, and he is certainly one of the most popular tenors who have ever sung here.

60NATIONAL FEDERATION
61OF MUSICAL CLUBS.
63THE Harmonic Club, of Philadelphia, is an enthusiastic amateur musical club, which has been in existence about eight years. Its meetings are held every third week, in the afternoon, at the houses of the members, with an occasional social evening meeting. Last winter the club took up the study of the lives of some of the more famous musicians, a paper on the composer being a feature of each day, and the musical program consisting of his works. Membership was taken in the National Federation in December, 1904. A concert for the benefit of the College Settlement of the University of Pennsylvania was repeated a few weeks later for the benefit of the Civic Betterment Club, of Philadelphia, with notable success in both cases.
64Gertrude Atkinson, of 4109 Locust street, treasurer, and Federation secretary, reports that this season opened most auspiciously on October 1, under the direction of the following officers, in addition to herself: President, Alice M. Smith; vice president, Gertrude Allen; secretary, Henrietta E. Wagner.
66Wednesday afternoon, October 4, the members of the Cecilian Club, of Freehold, N. J., were entertained by their president, Mrs. J. P. Walker. The event was in the nature of a reception, with musical program, and will serve as the first meeting of the club's season. On October 19 the regular musical work of the year will begin, and the subject for the day will be "The Content of Music." A paper will be given with illustrations. Various points will be taken up, such as "The Stimulative," "The Soulful," &c. On November 2 the club will consider "Program vs. Absolute Music." November 22, St. Cecilia's Day, an open meeting will be held, when the club and its guests will honor the patron saint with appropriate music and exercises.
67This year the club will hold its meetings in the new club rooms, which have been secured for the purpose, as a most encouraging growth in the membership leaves it no longer feasible to meet in private parlors. Mrs. Walker, the president of the Cecilians, is also State director for New Jersey, and reports added interest in Federation matters, both in her own club and in other musical clubs of the State.
69The Rubinstein Club, of Fennville, Mich., is most fortunate in having among its membership several women of deep musical culture, who bring to their club studios as well as artistic services. One of the biennials of the National Federation, and the Sectional Festival of the Middle Section, which was held in St. Louis, included on their programs representatives of this club. The entire standard of music in the community surrounding this quiet village of Fennville has been raised by the successful efforts of the Rubinstein Club. The last meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Leon Sheppard, better known to Federation workers as Lucile Wade. An interesting miscellaneous program was given by members of the club, assisted by Mrs. Snyder, of Grand Rapids, whose vocal numbers gave much pleasure.
71At the next meeting the compositions of Saint-Saëns and Liszt will be considered, and the program will be in charge of Florine Billings and Eva Pullman. Among the interesting programs which the club will give is that one to be devoted to the works of Richard Strauss, in contrast to those of his equally well known name bearers, Johann and Edward Strauss. The officers this year are: Clara Goodrich, president; Gladys Gray-Weed, vice president; Bess White, secretary and treasurer; Minna Young, librarian.; directors, Florence Bale and Florine Billings; program committee, Bess White, Minnie Michen and Della Earle.
73The first two regular meetings of the Treble Clef Club, of Newton, Kan., for the season of 1905-06 have been indicative of a year of thorough musical work. Not only has the attendance been larger than in past years and deep interest much more apparent, but the musical programs have been far above the previous standard. The first afternoon was spent in the study of Schubert's life, art and works. Several of his compositions were rendered by members of the club. A second meeting, October 16, considered other works of this same composer. An able paper upon the "Changes in Musical Notation" was prepared and read by Mrs. Clarence Boudreau, which was followed by discussion of the subject.
74Meetings of the club will be held this year in Carnegie Hall. The next one will be devoted to the works of Chopin and will be in charge of Mesdames L. C. Horst, C. B. Oldham, Fletcher Peters and B. W. Welty, and the Misses Anna Tellin and Lida Spangler. In the future the club will keep in close touch with the National Federation of Musical Clubs, as Mrs. C. C. Nebb has been elected the Federation secretary for the purpose. The officers are: President, Anna B. Butler; vice president, Mrs. Fletcher Peters; secretary, Florence Earle; reporter, Mrs. Edward Savage; program committee, Anna Tellin, Lottie Hart, Lida Spangler and Florence Earle.
76Otto Chew in Berlin.
78OTTO CHEW, the English violinist, will be heard in a concert with the Leipzic Philharmonic Orchestra, in the large hall of the Royal Hochschule for Music in Berlin, October 20.
80The soloists at the twelve Hamburg Philharmonic concerts (under the leadership of Fiedler and Barth) will be Burmester, d'Albert, Marteau, Rosenthal, Emil Pinks, Carl Scheidemantel.
