1gave a large concert in the Vereinshaus. Owing to an unusual amount of reclame, the large hall was well filled. She is possessed of a powerful, clear and resonant voice, but does not seem to depend wholly upon her vocal resources for achieving her greatest effects. She emphasizes, also the spiritual and intellectual side of her art, and thus rises to unusual heights. Several auditors compared, almost unconsciously, Julia Culp with Therese Behr, in some respects to the advantage of the latter. However, one or two Dresden artists remarked, in comparing the two women, that neither of them had equalled in inspirational power the celebrated American tenor, George Hamlin, whose concerts made such a sensation here not long ago.
3Another "salon" of Professor Roth presented songs of Otto Vrieslander and Theo. Streicher, sung by the favorably known Leonora Wallner, and a "larghetto" of Johannes Smith, also an "intermezzo" and "legende" of Percy Sherwood. These last named works were performed by the composers. Not as happy as usual in their performances, both Johannes Smith and Percy Sherwood are none the less artists who merit sincere recognition and hold a place high in esteem here.
5Professor Mann's pupils' recital took place in the Logenhaus Saal, and was well attended. Professor Mann seems most successful with his male voices, of which all are excellent, especially the bassos and baritones. Herr Essbach, the tenor and operatic singer, gave evidence of superior vocal training. Most impressive and touching was his rendition of the "Erzählung," from "The Evangelimann." Professor Mann is decidedly to be congratulated in having such fine bass voices as those of Herr Gleissner and Herr Stock. Herr Kipper is an almost extraordinary talent, the owner of a fine baritone. The duet between Herr Kipper and Herr Stock, from Nicolai's "Merry Wives of Windsor," fairly brought down the house, as also Herr Kipper's selections from Gounod, Schubert and R. Becker and Herr Gleissner's songs by Abt and Lenz. Frau Störmer also seemed to find great approval. Perhaps one of the best known pupils of Herr Mann is Henry Uhl, who has lately given a concert with great success in Cleveland, Ohio, and has opened a studio there. Professor Mann has every reason to feel proud of his success here. I arrived too late to hear Herr Bogk and Frau Bachmann, but heard enthusiastic accounts of their performances.

22James Evans Studying With Duzensi.
24James Evans, a tenor of some note in Utah, has come to New York to continue his studies with Enrico Duzensi, the vocal maestro, of 145 East Eighty-third street. Mr. Evans has been soloist at the First Presbyterian Church at Salt Lake City, and has distinguished himself by singing at the Tabernacle in that city and in concerts throughout the Far West.
26York Oratorio Society.
28"The Messiah" was performed at York, Pa., on the 3d of January, with great success, under Professor Pache, of Baltimore. Frieda Stender was the soprano; Frederick Martin the basso, and Daniel Beddoe the tenor. The orchestra consisted of fifty musicians from Baltimore, most of them, and the chorus, which is the local chorus, was in splendid vocal condition and made a superb impression. Many visitors from the neighborhood were present, and it was altogether one of the events of which the city of York should be proud. York should be imitated in this direction by many other cities of its size.
30The president of the Oratorio Society is A. B. Farquhar; the first vice president, M. B. Gibson; the second vice president, D. P. Klinedinst, and the secretary is Warren J. Raffensberger, who, with his assistant, Harry L. Link, and the treasurer, C. C. Frick, have been the men, together with the board of governors, that have brought about this successful culmination of an artistic event.
32Anna Taylor Jones, the contralto, must also be mentioned. It was Mrs. Jones' fifth appearance in York.
34Isabel Hauser Plays for Browning Society.
36Isabel Hauser, the pianist, played for the Browning Society at the last reception, January 3, held at the residence of Mrs. H. Archibald Shaw, 3 West Eighty-first street. Miss Hauser's numbers were "Kammenoi Ostrow," by Rubinstein, and the Chopin polonaise in C sharp minor. In addition to the piano solos, Miss Hauser played the accompaniments for Mrs. Frederick Dean, who sang "Boatman Song," by Grieg; "Monotone," by Cornelius, and Massenet's "Elegy."
