VOCAL MUsIC-STGNoR ERRANI.-As Miss
Mary Crawford, the accomplished teacher Of
vocal music in the Augusta Female Seminary,
is now in New York city under the instruction
of Signor Errani, the distinguished Professor
of vocal music, the following paragraph, copied
from the Music Trade Reuiea0, one of the best
music journals published, will be read with IL
terest;-
miss Thursby's recent remarkable success in
England is another proof of the fact that il
American girls want to become singers it is not
necessary for them to go abroad for it. There
are several recent cases OF the sort. Miss Min
ME Eauk is one Of them perhaps the best
known. Mile. Stella Bonheur the contralto. Is
an American; she has just made her debut with
great success at the San Carlo, In Naples, as
FIt5es. in La Prophetic" and has for some time
been known as the best Ort,ud in Italy. Nine.
Durand, the soprano, has recently been singing
in Madrid, and she has not been very warmly
received there, but she has been engaged as
soprano Dramatique'' for the next st. Peters,
burgh season. All four ofthese ladies were pre-
pared for the stage in this country, and in this
country alone, and, oddly enough, all four
pupils ofthe same master-Sig. Errani, of New
York.
