1CINCINNATI.
3Cincinnati, November 25, 1905.
5The symphony auction premium sale during the present week realized over $1,300—the best sale for many seasons.
7Mrs. McAlpin's next recital, November 27, promises to be a great success. In this performance will be presented to the public several of the students aspiring to the different branches of the profession—grand opera, musical comedy, comic opera, vaudeville and the drama. The class in dramatic action and pantomime will give the fourth act of the "Pearl of Savoy," with Jessie Randon as Marie. Laird Johnstone's beautiful bass voice will be heard to advantage in the "Tannhäuser" aria.
9The first College of Music chorus and orchestra concert filled Music Hall to its capacity on Friday night. Both from a chorus and orchestra standpoint it would be difficult to find such a high standard of artistic result in any other educational institution in this country. There was a freshness and buoyancy to the entire character of the performance that could not be found in an organization of older men. José Marien, conductor of the orchestra, is to be congratulated, and at the close of the "Benoit March" received quite an ovation. Dr. N. J. Elsenheimer is responsible for the splendid singing of the college chorus. A more refined musical quality and capacity for shading than this chorus presented it would almost be impossible to attain with mere students' material, and it attests a large degree of ability and successful experience. Particularly grateful were the songs of Dr. Elsenheimer's own composition—"Twilight" and "Frau Holle," the balancing of the voices in both of them being admirable. Miss Ada Zeller, pianist, played the second and third movements of the Beethoven C minor concerto, with orchestra, and was in superb evidence of Albino Gorno's training. From the soloists' standpoint, the most convincing performance was the contralto solo of Charlotte Callahan, who sang Bruch's "Penelope Weaving a Garment" with a voice of rare quality and vibrating temperament. Helen Brown, in the solo of Chaminade's "Sailor's Christmas Song," revealed a soprano voice of fine resonance. The vocal quartet from the "Benedictus" of Cherubini's mass in D minor was sung with beautiful ensemble and proportion by C. Viola Hopkins, Charlotte Callahan, Leslie K. Chilton and Charles E. Gallagher.
11Mrs. Haynes, one of the talented College of Music pupils under Tecla Vigna, recently accepted the position of soprano at the Broad Street M. E. Church, Columbus. A writer in the State capital says that "Mrs. Haynes has a lyric soprano voice of great range, pleasing quality, with good enunciation, diction and style."
13The first meeting of the class to take up the study of Gregorian music, under the tutelage of the Rev. Leo Manzetti, was held at the College of Music on Wednesday afternoon, with a good attendance. The regular time for the class to meet hereafter has been set for Mondays and Fridays at 4:30 p. m., at the college. A class for the study of the harmonization of the chant is held each Friday, at 3:30 p. m.

44The event of the musical season will be the grand concert to be given by the Hoboken Quartet Club at Quartet Club Hall on December 7, for the benefit of the German Academy. Dr. William Tell Kudlich is president of the board of trustees. The Hoboken Academy Alumni Association, the German Club and the Quartet Club are using every effort to make the concert a great success. Soloists from the Conried Opera Company, also from the New York Philharmonic Society, will unite with the club on the program.
46Two prominent musicians of this city are Christian B. Clark and John H. Reilly, whose studio is in the Hoboken Trust Company's building. Mr. Clark also has a studio on Seventeenth street, New York.
48Mrs. W. T. Kudlich, Mrs. Carl Willeberg, Mrs. J. C. Bartlett and Lulu Eppens are prominent in musical circles.

55Two Conservatory Concerts.
57The German Conservatory and College of Music, both institutions under the direction of Carl Hein and August Fraemcke, gave enjoyable students' concerts last week at College Hall, November 22 and 24 respectively. Large audiences gathered to hear the piano, violin, 'cello, clarinet and vocal music. At the German Conservatory concert the participants were Misses A. Falkenmeyer, M. Hernandez, Anna Gress, Edna Wuestenhofen and Messrs. A. Lauer, Otto F. Stahl, Josef C. Landwehr, Irwin F. Randolph and William Parsons. The orchestra class also took part, playing the "War March of the Priests."
59The College of Music concert offered music performed by Anna Granger, Mamie Fischer, Florence Pakas, Sarah Rothschild, Lilian Wadsworth, Mrs. Joseph O'Reilly and B. H. Diehl, John Hughes, Anton Herodas, closing with a violin quartet by Bohm, played by Lizzie M. Eldridge, Ellen Bates, Josephine Lehman and Minnie Jones. Both music schools have a large attendance, and good, serious work is done, observable to anyone attending the students' concerts.
61William Philip's Song Recital.
63"TWILIGHT" song recital by William Philip, tenor, was largely attended by a fashionable audience in his Carnegie Hall studios last Monday evening. Mr. Philip sang Herbert's "Cupid," "O, Vision Entrancing," from Goring-Thomas' "Esmeralda"; "The Thorn," by Shield, and selections by Clay, Salter, Nevin, Sullivan, Lalo and Clutsam with delightful tone and expression.
65NATIONAL FEDERATION OF MUSICAL CLUBS.
67The Morning Musicale, of Oneida, N. Y., at the second meeting of the season listened to an instrumental recital of Schubert's compositions, which appropriately followed the very interesting lecture and song recital of the first meeting, given by Miss Demarest and Mrs. De Long on the same composer. Mrs. De Long's voice proved specially adapted to Schubert's beautiful songs. This second meeting was particularly enjoyable on account of a flute solo played by Hazel Gates Childs, of Canastota, who has recently become a member of the club. The other numbers were the scherzo No. 1, played by Mrs. C. W. House; an arrangement for violin of the "Serenade" played by Miss Carter; "Hark, Hark, the Lark," by Miss Hilts, and "The Fair Rosamund" (op. 143, No. 3), played by Mrs. H. Geisenhoff.
69The Ladies' Saturday Music Club, of Muskogee, Ind. Ter., is an outgrowth of a movement begun in 1895 by the formation of a club largely professional and known as the Muskogee Musical Club. Being somewhat removed from the musical centres, each member had felt the need of such an organization and gladly embraced this opportunity of studying the lives and compositions of the great masters. During the next three years the work was carried steadily forward. In September, 1899, after an intermission of one year, the club was reorganized with an increased membership. The course of study that year embraced French and German operas, the symphony and the sonata.
71In 1900 the name of the club was changed to the Ladies' Saturday Music Club, the constitution revised, and provision made for an associate and a substitute membership, which has proven a most successful scheme. The meetings are held fortnightly, the first and third Saturdays of the month.
73The course of study last season was Russian music. This year the club is studying the old masters, Bach, Liszt, Mozart, Handel and Haydn, together with some of the younger men, including a few living composers. This being the tenth anniversary of the club, preparations are making for a reunion and other festivities in December. The club has been fortunate in securing such artists as Edward Baxter Perry, Sherwood, Glenn Hall and Bruno Steindel for its recitals.
75Walter S. Young's Recital.
77ERIC V. GOODWIN, basso, a pupil of Walter S. Young, gave a song recital at Mr. Young's studio, 801 and 802 Carnegie Hall, last Saturday afternoon. He sang songs by Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Korby, Richard Strauss, Victor Harris, Nevin, Chadwick and Mr. Young's charming "Thy Parting Kiss," which Mr. Goodwin was obliged to repeat. Mr. Goodwin's voice is well placed and unusually even throughout its entire register. His delivery is free, his tones are smooth and velvety and have a sympathetic quality not often found in bass voices.
