1where he is meeting with much success, had a very interesting article in the Berlin Continental Times in answer to the Farrar episode. Among many comments on conditions in America, Mr. Salins remarks in his article: "The Americans have one fault, and that is the appreciation of everything with the foreign art stamp above the native American educated artists, even though the foreign stamped artist is sometimes by no means the equal of the one that bears the American hall-mark."
3The American Conservatory announces that the advanced pupils of Heniot Levy, voice pupils of Karleton Hackett and the violin pupils of Adolf Weidig will appear in a recital at Kimball Hall on December 7.
5Karleton Hackett's third lecture before the pupils of the American Conservatory will take place Saturday afternoon, December 7, at Kimball Rehearsal Hall.

9Maine Tributes to Clifford Wiley.
11A feature of the last Maine festivals was the success of Clifford Wiley, the baritone, who sang at concerts in both Bangor and Portland. The local papers published his picture, in addition to many lines of enthusiastic praise. Extracts from two criticisms follow:
13His triumph amply justified the management re-engaging him. His voice, always mellow and full, has attained a greater power and fuller dramatic expression. * * * His high notes are clear, sweet and ringing. * * * A delightful thing is his perfect enunciation; all his words are distinctly cut, giving added interest. * * * The great hall rang with spontaneous applause. * * * "Di provenza" was sung with fine expression and dramatic power, and provoked great applause.—Bangor Daily Commercial.
15His straightforward, clean-cut and manly singing was distinctly refreshing. * * * He controls his voice with excellent art, and when he opens all the stops it comes out in full volume, without strain or sign of frayed edges, the high notes ringing clear and true. * * * Again the applause rang out, and it was clear the singer had gained his audience. The aria from "Traviata" was sung in fine style, and with a wealth of expression. He responded to an encore with the love song "Thora," sung with sympathetic feeling that was delightful.—Portland Daily Eastern Argus.

22Van den Hende to Play at the White House.
24Flavie Van den Hende, the Belgian cellist, whose home is at 2405 Broadway, New York City, is among the artists engaged to play at the White House, in Washington, this season. Besides her numerous concert appearances, Madame Van den Hende has been in demand for private musicales in the homes of social leaders. She has played at the residences of Mrs. William D. Sloan, Mrs. John Barnes, Mrs. Bayard Cutting, Mrs. Richard Watson Gilder, Mrs. Samuel Untermyer, Mrs. Nicholas Fish, and other New Yorkers; in Ottawa, for Lord and Lady Minto; in Pittsburgh, for Mrs. William Thaw, and in Washington for Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh.
26Madame Van den Hende is a native of Brussels, and studied at the Royal Conservatory of that city under Ger-

30vais. She has played for the Queen of Belgium, and the King presented the artist with a rare Maggini cello, made in 1625.
32Virgil Piano School Recital.
34Five advanced pupils of the Virgil Piano School, 19 West Sixteenth street, played at the recital given at the school Monday night of last week. The performers were: Anna Granger, Isabel Arnold, Mary Ward, Ida Volk and Harry Tierney, all pupils of Mrs. A. M. Virgil. The program disclosed all those features that make the art of piano playing delightful and instructive. Miss Granger played two contrasting numbers, a chaconne by Handel and a Russian "Country Dance" by MacDowell. Miss Arnold's numbers included two of MacDowell's "Sea Pieces." Miss Ward, a young girl, also played a MacDowell number, "Scotch Poem," and the Chopin waltz in C sharp minor. Mr. Tierney, another very youthful performer, played "The Brooklet" by Heller, a serenade by Olsen and "Preambule," by Bach. Miss Volk closed the program with the Chopin scherzo in B flat minor, and as an encore added "Rustling of Spring," by Sinding.
36A new feature of the evening included illustrations of class work in sight playing and harmony. The players were Miss Arnold, Miss Rockefeller and Miss Blaser. Their work was highly creditable and interesting. The harmony playing was conducted by Mrs. F. S. Thompson and the sight playing by John Stephan, both of whom are teachers at the school.
38A series of similar recitals will be given this winter. Those desiring invitations may secure them by addressing the Virgil Piano School, 19 West Sixteenth street, New York.
40Bruno Heydrich, director of the Halle Conservatory, celebrated recently the twenty-fifth anniversary of his artistic activity.
42The newly organized Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra gave recently its initial concert, which was conducted by no less than three leaders of note. They were: Oscar Nedbal, Bernhard Stavenhagen and Hans Pfitzner. The rendition of Liszt's "Tasso" evoked such a storm of applause that the entire orchestra had to rise, with the Conductor Stavenhagen, to acknowledge their thanks.
