/ and success, have caused this beautiful piece of
simple workmanship, this baton, to be formed,
| on which is inscribed most appr opriately in
| golden letters, the name of HERMAN KoTz-
sCHMAR, from the Haydn Association"
We do not, dear sir, offer this in any manner
as compensation for the signal ability, the in
tense earnestness, the manly bearing, and the
| unwearied patience you have SO constantly y
manifested since we have been connected in
an official capacity, but simply as slight token
| of that obligation and regard we feel in our
hearts, but which words would 1saii fl US to ex-
i press.
i IFJflSy you, then sir, to accept this baton in
the same spirit in which it is rendered; and as
you WELD It from week to week in directing
our practice of the divine art remember it as
an offering of love, and as intended to express
the heartfelt desire of each one of us for your
continued prosperity and usefulness. ah
The baton is made of lacker wood and mount
ed with heavy gold ferules, elegantly chased,
and is the work Of Mr.. Chase, Of the establish
ment of Lowell s. Senter. We are pleased to
see this tribute bestowed, for Mr.. Kotzschmar
is fairly entitled to such token of regard and
esteem, when we consider that much of the
success of the organization is due to b m.
