1York Festival Chorus of four hundred voices will be brought here by special train and join with the Ocean Grove chorus of three hundred in singing this work. The soloists will be Genevieve Clark Wilson, soprano; Mary Byrne Ivy, contralto; Daniel Beddoe, tenor, and William Harper, basso. It is fully expected that the house will be crowded. On account of this performance, the Jersey Central will run a special excursion train from New York, leaving Liberty street at 9 a. m., and returning in the evening after the performance. The round trip fare will be only $1, and all those holding railroad tickets can buy reserved seats to the performance at half price.
3A delightful feature of the close of the season is the vacation trip of the orchestra to the Thousand Islands. The association contributes $2,500 toward the expense of the trip. About seventy outsiders will be accepted in the party at a cost of only $38, which pays for the railroad fare, meals on the dining car, hotel bill and all side trips. The tickets are good to return on any regular train. The party will leave Asbury Park at 6:30 a. m. on the morning of September 5, and from Weehawken (West Shore Railroad) at 8:30. The party will go all the way by special train, and everything will be under the personal direction of Mr. Morgan.

14This note is an appreciation. Not that you need it from me. I am only one of a long list of subscribers. Being human myself in my fondness for appreciation, I lay down my scissors to write you these few words of that sort.

17During vacation it is my habit to look over the accumulated magazines and papers of the previous year, clipping such items as may be of permanent value. The floor of my studio is at present littered with fifty and more MUSICAL COURIERS, from every one of which I have culled articles of exceeding and lasting interest. Telling descriptions of living composers, Grieg, Strauss; the necrology of Garcia and Paine; descriptions and illustrations of the relics of the saints, the tomb of Paganini, the exhibit in Berlin, the making of musical history, the Polish Davidsbändler; the newest compositions and performers, valuable bits of biography and anecdotes, that exhaustive collection on "The Origin of Melody," and many more than I can mention have outlasted the interest of the current weeks, and are filed away, classified for future use and reference.

28Madame Maconda is again under the management of R. E. Johnston. The advance inquiries indicate that this ever popular soprano will be busier than ever before, if such is possible. Madame Maconda's art is so sure that her friends throughout the country have come to recognize in her one of the best of contemporary coloratura sopranos.

40The ovation given Arthur Pryor and his band on Asbury Park Day, August 13, was but one more tribute by Asbury Park audiences to this popular bandmaster. Flowers galore banked the platform, after every number bouquets, made pieces and designs of all kinds were presented, many hotels sending floral pieces and wreaths. The afternoon program included music by Sousa and Pryor. In the evening at the Casino, in conjunction with the Schubert Club, a fine program was played including "Tannhäuser" overture, Wagner; second "Hungarian Rhapsody," Liszt; grand caprice, "A Hunting Scene," Bucalossi; grand scene and ensemble, "Andrea Chenier," Giordano. The last number was the gem of the evening, the contrasts, coloring and grand climax being superb. Mr. Pryor was also assisted by two local artists, Mrs. Walter Hubbard and Arthur Parker. Mrs. Hubbard's sweet, clear soprano voice was heard to good advantage in the difficult coloratura aria, "Ah! fors e lui," from "Traviata," Verdi. Arthur Parker, in his violin solo, "Ziguerweisen," Sarasate, played with a fine broad tone and excellent intonation. At both the matinee and evening concerts the audience taxed the pavilions to their capacity and encored the band repeatedly.
42Max Hirschburg, of New York City, is in charge of the music at the Columbia Hotel, Belmar.
44William E. Rogers, of Troy, is at the West End Hotel.
46Frank Winkler is at Spring Lake Inn.
48G. F. Sanford is at the Belmar Club.
50A very interesting program was given at the first service held in the new First Baptist Church, Third and Grand avenues, under direction of Grace Underwood. A string quartet consisting of David Talmage and David Gootenberg, violins; Augusta Gilhuly, viola; Charles Frink, 'cello, accompanied the girls' robed choir, and played several selections.
52Music in the public schools of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove is in no way behind that of the schools of larger cities. Both have efficient supervisors of music, Laura Minturn at Asbury Park and Ruth Gibson at Ocean Grove. Sight reading, ear training, part singing and a small male chorus at Ocean Grove cover the general plan of work. Selections from the works of Handel and Spohr have been sung by mixed choruses during the past season, and at Ocean Grove a high school orchestra composed of boys and girls is an enlivening feature.
54Louis van Gilluwe, organizer and director of this orchestra, is a man who has been identified with music in the twin cities for the last eighteen years. One might say that the real beginning of music dates back to the organizing of the Glee Club, with Mr. van Gilluwe as director, and which is now the popular Schubert Club, with Arthur Pryor, director. The Glee Club was founded in 1888, disbanded, and reorganized as the Schubert. There has always been more or less of a band in the twin cities, always directed and managed through its many vicissitudes by Louis van Gilluwe. Eight years ago the High School Orchestra had its inception, and as secretary of the Board of Education, Mr. van Gilluwe had opportunities to introduce his idea of instrumental as well as vocal music in the public school of Ocean Grove; and so, in conjunction with the supervisor of music, he has established a love and understanding of the art that promises well for the future. The orchestra plays every day at the beginning and close of school, and on occasions special programs, with explanatory remarks by the director, are given. The orchestra, which numbers between forty-five and fifty members, has its symphony section, including the more advanced members, and this section gives the more difficult programs. Among the members forming it are: First Violins—Edith van Gilluwe, Edith Condit Brandner, Hiram Bradner, J. Wagemeister, Harry Miller, Ellis Turner and Prosper Stone. Second Violins—Frankie Oakley, Vera Hendricks, Genevieve Franklin, Carrie Ferguson, Oliver Wyckoff, Chas. Rothiritz and Edward Turner. Violas—Thomas A. Wharmby, Florence Watson. 'Cello—Augusta Miller. Basses—James T. Gracey, Joseph Aker, Clarinet—Frank van Gilluwe. Flute—B. Glass. Cornets, Lester Leiferson, James Hille, Hellen Johnson. Horns—Harlan Sanford and Elbert Bearmore. Trombones—Fredric Johnson and Augustus Nowland. Euphonium—Harry Hickernell. Timpany—Joseph Rainear, and piano, Nellie Bailey.
56Edith van Gilluwe, the concertmaster, is a young violinist of much talent, a pupil of Richard Arnold, and very popular in musical circles.
58On April 5 the following program devoted entirely to Haydn, with explanatory program notes by Mr. van Gilluwe, was given at Library Hall, Asbury Park: "Ox Minuceto," finale from fifth symphony, andante from "Surprise" symphony and the "Symphonie Militaire," in its entirety. That the director is eminently fitted for his work is proven by the enthusiasm and results obtained. Mr. van Gilluwe has been director and organist of the Lutheran Church of Ocean Grove for fifteen years, and enjoys the distinction of being the only male organist in the twin cities. For years he was a member of several New York choral societies, and his experience has been of the broadest. It is an interesting fact that the orchestra is self-supporting, and through the returns from winter concerts a musical library and band instruments have been purchased, and a reserve fund maintained. It has been and is the hope of Mr. van Gilluwe to give a series of young people's concerts, and for the purpose of making clear to his young students the educational value of this, many trips by the entire orchestra have been taken to New York City to hear the Damrosch Young People's Symphony Concerts, the reserve fund furnishing the entire expenses of the trip. Rehearsals will be resumed in September, and as heretofore, held regularly.
60Luella Haywood Newton is spending the remainder of the summer at Asbury Park. Mrs. Newton has been associated with many prominent artists as an accompanist.
62Bertha Tefft, of Washington, is at the Stafford. Miss Tefft is a young pianist who gives much promise.
64Asbury Park and Ocean Grove give summer engagements to about 235 union musicians, 160 coming from other cities.
