1Shaw, the tenor. From first to last the richness of his voice and the scholarly interpretation of the songs held the undivided attention of the audience.—Press, Yankton, S. D., May 23.
3Mr. Shaw sang the tenor part, and while he cannot vie in power with Beresford's bass he more than held his own in the technical authority of his singing.—Courier-Herald, Saginaw, June 2.
5Mr. Shaw's voice is sweet, full and clear, and every number was rendered with a charm that won for him the hearty praise of his auditors and left them wishing for more.—Yankton Herald, May 23, 1906.
7The success of the solo work was the greatest that has been achieved in Green Bay for some seasons.

He sang the high D flat at the close of "Cujus Animam" with a full, ringing tone.—Green Bay Advocate, May 31, 1906.

13Arthur M. Burton's Success.
15Arthur M. Barton, baritone, who is so widely known as a singer of the highest artistic ability, and who has won many triumphs this season, will leave for Europe on Thursday, June 14. Mr. Burton, who will be accompanied by his wife, will spend most of the summer in Germany, visiting also England and Holland. Among the many eulogistic notices from the press concerning Mr. Burton's singing the following may be quoted:
17Mr. Burton presented a thoroughly artistic program, giving an unusual and most acceptable dignity to the classic numbers that composed the first part. His opening song, the Handel aria, "Where E'er You Walk," showed a good command of technic. "Geisternähe" and "Der Knabe mit dem Wunderhorn," were especially fine and called forth enthusiastic applause.
19The singer did some of his best work in Hugo Wolf's "Verborgenheit" and in Hildach's "Lenz," which showed some rare tonal qualities in his voice. The three Richard Strauss numbers, "Du meines Herzens Krönlein," "Allersseelen" and "Heimliche Aufforderung," were given good interpretations, the shading and expression of the latter being especially noteworthy. Mr. Burton delighted his audience with his charming rendition of the Irish melodies and his quaint handling of the old English songs.—Daily Times, Davenport, Ia., May 15.
21Mr. Burton has a baritone voice of sympathetic and very beautiful quality, his tones being clear and very true. The audience was especially pleased with his singing of "Verborgenheit," by Hugo Wolf, and also with "Heimliche Aufforderung" of Richard Strauss, both calling for encores. Mr. Burton was especially pleasing in his ballads and several repetitions were necessary to satisfy the applause. The old Donegal air, "By the Short Cut to the Rosses," and "An Indian Love Lyric," as well as "The Little Irish Girl" being repeated graciously by the singer. The recital was one of the most pleasing and artistic in its rendering of any given by the club.—Democrat, Davenport, Ia., May 15.
23Arthur Burton, who sang the role of Elijah, charmed the audience with his beautiful tonal quality and splendid delivery. His interpretation of the notable air, "It Is Enough," was marked by effective expression and displayed the wondrous beauty of his mellow, perfectly placed tone.—Chronicle, La Crosse, Wis., May 10.
25John J. Hattstaedt, president of the American Conservatory, announces the following new engagements of instructors for the coming season:
27Piano, Silvio Scionti and May Doelling; voice, John T. Read and Viola Paulus; violin, Charles Morenhout, Lulu Sinclair and Mr. Kaufman, and violoncello, Horace Britt.
29Mr. Scionti has already proved himself a young pianist of exceptional brilliancy, and the same may be said of Miss Doelling. Both of these artists have a bright future before them, and will make themselves felt in musical affairs of this city. John T. Read is well known as an admirable baritone, and Miss Paulus is an accomplished singer.
31Mr. Morenhout was soloist with the Theodore Thomas Orchestra last season, his playing being greatly admired. As a violinist he ranks with the first in this city.
33Horace Britt, cellist, has not as yet played in public, but will appear next season with the Theodore Thomas Orchestra. As a violoncello artist he occupies one of the foremost positions in this country. Mr. Britt is a former member of the Colonne Orchestra, of Paris.
35The Studio of Mary Wood Chase.
37Louise Wright has accepted the position of director of music at Howard-Payne College, Fayette, Mo.
39This is the first time in years that Howard-Payne has not gone abroad for its director of music. For ten years or more the position has been held by pupils of Oscar Raif. Miss Wright was elected to the position over the applications of a number of teachers educated in the studios of foreign masters.
41Edith Bristol has accepted the position of first assistant in the Howard-Payne College.
43Gertrude Gain will continue her teaching next year at Winnetka at the Girton School, having just completed a very successful year.
45Myrta Coe Rundle will, as heretofore, continue her classes in children's work at the Columbia School of Music, and also at the Girton School, Winnetka, under the direction of Miss Chase.
47Gertrude White has accepted a position at Indianola, Ia., in the Indianola College.
49Ida Felkner will retain her present position in Iowa City, Ia., next season.
51Grace Terry has completed a very busy season of concert work and teaching at Knox Conservatory of Music, Galesburg, Ill. Miss Terry has given a number of recitals in Illinois and Iowa for various clubs with much success, and has also won warm approval from such artists as Herbert Witherspoon, basso; Ada Markland Sheffield, soprano, and Marie White Longman, contralto, for her artistic and sympathetic accompaniments.
53Gertrude Ernst will be the assistant teacher at Kenwood Institute next year.
55Dorothea Schneewind, an eleven year old pupil of Mrs. Rundle, gave a recital at Cable Hall on Saturday afternoon, May 26, with great success. She is possessed of much talent and shows the results of careful training of her teachers, Mrs. Rundle and Miss Chase.
57E. Hamilton Collins will continue in his position of first assistant to Miss Chase at the Columbia School of Music.
59The results of the season have been most perfect command.—Courier—very flattering of prominent schools heard their music departments.
61Mr. Collins has also filled Toledo, Findlay, Akron, Upper Salem, Ohio, and in Kankakee and many local engagements this season.
63Ralph Lawton will play the entire Tschaikowsky in B flat minor, with orchestra, at the commencement of the Columbia School of Music. Mr. Lawton studied with her during the past three years.
65Henry Tovey has renewed his contract, with a material increase of salary, at Ouachita College, Arkadelphia, Ark. Mr. Tovey has given a number of successful recitals during the year.
67Among the gratifying tributes to Miss Chase's ability as a teacher is one from a well known young pianist, who has been studying with Miss Chase during this season, after four years abroad with three of the best known European artist-teachers. "I have so much more to teach now than ever before, and understand so much better how to get desired results. Heretofore I hardly knew how to fill the lesson hour; now I cannot possibly do all I want to do in any lesson, I have so much to give," is his own frank admission.
69It is this ability to make intelligent and capable teachers which makes Miss Chase's pupils so much sought after, that she finds it impossible to supply the rapidly growing demand. From all over the country she is continually receiving grateful tributes and acknowledgment of her invaluable instruction.
71On account of the great demands upon her time for teaching, Miss Chase has been compelled to refuse a number of important engagement for the late spring season. She will leave July 1 for Blue Hills, Me., where she will spend most of her summer preparing for the concert work of the coming season, for which she is already booking engagements. one of two readings

74Mr. Anderson Thanks His Friends.
76Walter H. Anderson, the musical manager of 7 West Forty-second street, who had a narrow escape from drowning Sunday before last, wishes to thank his friends for their kind inquiries. Though still suffering somewhat from the shock and exhaustion, Mr. Anderson is much better. The accident occurred after the excursionists had left in a yacht. The engine of that vessel being out of order, they decided to reach land in a rowboat from the Hudson River above 158th street. On the third trip the rowboat capsized, and of the two young women who fell into the water one was drowned. Mr. Anderson jumped into the water and heroically saved the other young woman from sinking. Miss Hoops, the young lady who lost her life, was the daughter of a retired merchant whose summer home is at Bedford, N. Y. The host of the yachting party was Dr. Charles B. Halgreen, of 21 East Twenty-fourth street.
