MUSIC TEACHERS NATIONAL Association
An array of musical talent seldom if ever
brought together, meets in Cincinnati July LIST,
I'd and Sd, this year. We allude to the Con-
vention of Music Teachers of the United States
and Canada, Mr.. r. de Roode, of Lexington,
Arthur Mees, Cincinnati Madame Emma
Seller, Philadelphia; III. E. Krehbel, Cincin-
natl; John S. Van Cleve, GAINESVILLE, Wiscon-
sin; III. W. Fairbanks, Flint Michigan. Piano
artists, and by w. H. Sherwood, of Boston,
and Madame Eugene Rice of Chicago, two of
the most distinguished piansts in the United
States. Two concerts by Thomas's Orchestra
and one Organ concert at Music Hall complete
the attractions. There is no expense attached
to this, since one dollar pays for membership,
and admits to all the meetings during the
three days. 1t will doubtless bring together in
Cincinnati one of the largest audiences ever
seen there. Hotels and railroads make special
prices at that time.
The Dramatic News says Joe Wheelock's
''Sir Thomas Clifford" is the best thing he has
done yet.
Salvini, Henry Irving (f he comes to Amer
ica) and Adelaide Nelson will appear at the
Mr.. and Mrs. N. c. Goodwin, Jr., leave
Boston this week for Larchmont Manor, N. Y,
where they will pass portion of their summer
vacation.
The papers give currency to doubtful ru-
NOR that Miss Mary Anderson lately bought a
house at Syracuse, N. Y, with view to set
Ting down at an early day as the wife of Mr..
Mccarthy, son of Hon. Dennis Mccarthy of
that city.
''The Danites'' combinations travelling sea-
Mckee Rankin and wife (NIiss Kitty Blanchard)
have gone to pass the summer at their home at
Amherstburg, Can Their profits on the sea-
son-40 weeks-have been close on $4,000.
The Dramatic News gives the following as
the profits of New York managers the past
season. Wallack, from his theatre, nothing;
from his western tour, $40 400; A. NJ Palmer,
at the Union Square, 1886, 900, and from out-of-
town engagements of his company, $1,000 a
week; John Duff at the Standard $37 200,
from which deduct $4,000 loss at Booths and
$1,000 loss at the Olympic; Henry E. Abbey at
the Park, $1,000; Harrigan & Hart, at the The
atre Comique, $4,000. Losses-D. III. Harkins
at the Fifth Avenue, $4,000; Edgar & Fulton
and others, at the Broadway, $4,000.
Max Strakosch announces many strong at
fractions for next season. His tenor is Signor
Petrovitch, a Pole by birth, with a fine reputa-
ton in Italy. M. Customary, the great French
basso, who made such profound impression
here several seasons since, has also signed with
Mr.. Strakosch. The baritone is Signor Starli,
who comes highly accredited. Nine. Teresa
Singer, the leading dramatic soprano of Italy,
will be the leading prima donna. The compa-
ny will also include Miss Cary, Mile. L1tta and
other artists whose names are not as yet dis
closed.
