A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.
1although he was only down for two songs, and other great successes have been scored by Lina Cavalieri (who is engaged for the forthcoming season at the Metropolitan, in New York), Ysaye, Kirkby-Lunn, etc.
3OTHER LONDON ITEMS.
5A little life seems to be infused into the musical situation from the opening of the ten weeks' season of Promenade concerts, as well as by the many announcements of musical festivals, concerts and recitals already announced for the coming season. Indications would seem to show that there will be a great number of musical events in the near future, both of a private and public character. Bookings by many of the well known artists that have already been made, show thirty or forty engagements during the first three months of the season, which, in this case, are the last three months of the year. Just at present, however, there are few musicians in town, the country having absorbed them, whether that "country" is seashore, mountain or the Continent. A few will return before the end of the month to take part in the Promenades, but there will be little to chronicle of musical affairs before late in September. The Sunday afternoon concerts at the Royal Albert Hall will be resumed on October 5, with programs arranged by Hilton Carter, when a number of notable vocalists and organists will appear. The Queen's Hall and the London Symphony orchestras will play on alternate Sundays.
7The young American violinist, Albert Spalding, who has been playing with such success on the Continent, has arranged to give four orchestral concerts at Queen's Hall the coming season. The orchestra will be the London Symphony, conducted by Landon Ronald. The first concert will take place about the end of October.
9Josef Holbrooke, one of the younger of the British composers, has gone to Ostend, where on Friday his "Dreamland" suite is to be performed. Mr. Holbrooke will conduct the suite and goes at the invitation of Leon Rinskopf, the director of the Kursaal Orchestra.
11Before leaving England for America, Herbert Witherspoon will sing at two of the Promenade concerts.
13The well known critic, Joseph Bennett, is retiring from musical journalism after a long and distinguished career. In honor of the occasion a dinner will be given by his colleagues and members of the musical profession early in November. The arrangements are in the hands of a committee of the Concertgoers' Club, who will act in co-operation with members of the musical and journalistic professions.
15Alys Bateman is re-engaged for Canada and the United States for eighty concerts and leaves early in September for Halifax.
17Fanny Guimaraes, the Brazilian pianist, announces two recitals in Bechstein Hall during the autumn.
19Pugno, the French pianist, has just been engaged for the Scottish orchestral concerts in January.
21Colorado Hospitality Delights Mossel.
23Max Mossel, the eminent violinist and musical director from England, is passing a pleasant holiday visiting friends in this country. While the guest recently of Robert Slack, of Colorado Springs, Mr. Mossel said to a reporter of the Denver Post:
25I have traveled nearly all over the world and met people of almost all nationalities, but I must say that, under the circumstances, I have never met a more hospitable lot of folks than I find here. It astonishes me.
27Where Are the Fuchs Pupils?
29GUILFORD, Conn., August 26, 1906.
31To The Musical Courier:
33I have a special favor to ask: Would it be possible to get, through THE MUSICAL COURIER, the names and addresses of all the pupils in America of Professor Robert Fuchs, of Vienna? A big celebration for that composer's sixtieth birthday is being secretly prepared in the Austrian capital, and as I am nominated on the committee, they want to send to me the necessary circulars to reach all the Fuchs pupils in America. Now, as I know only a few of them myself, I thought THE MUSICAL COURIER might help me by publishing this letter as a sort of "Aufruf." The preparations are being made very quietly, and the master is to be surprised with an honorary gift and with a big orchestral concert, at which his most important works will be produced. I should deem it a privilege to hear from as many of Fuchs' pupils as possible, and to unite them with me in the furtherance of our pleasurable enterprise. Thanking you for the space,
35Very sincerely yours,
36ADELE LEWING-STIEFEL,

42Visanska's Movements.
44Daniel Visanska, the violinist, has been spending the summer in Ashland, N. Y., and returned to New York last Thursday, when he sailed for South Carolina to spend a fortnight at his old home there.
46Adele Lewing, who is summering in Connecticut, will resume her teaching in the fall (Leschetizky method), and will accept a limited number of pupils only. She can be communicated with care of Steinway Hall.
