intelligence that arrangements have been per-
footed for a concert at the town hall to morrow

company. OF Miss Kellogg less than Of al
most any other living singer is 1t necessary to
say word by way Of introduction TO the pub
lie. She has been 80 long and so prominent
ly on the lyric stage that there are few per-
sons who are not familiar with her fame az a
singer. Richard Grant White, in his article
on "Opera in New York, in the current num-
Der of the Century Magazine, says

but Of the most distinguished artist that any Of
the United States has yet given to the lyric stage In
the autumn Of that year Miss Clara Louise Kellogg,
Now York girl, whose vocal gifts and musical intei-
gence had been discovered and cultivated through the
encouragement OF New York friends, appeared at the
Academy Of Music as Giidd Ia Yerdi's "Rgoletto."
Miss Kelloggs voice Is high soprano, very
clear, very pure very e, close and Arm In quality and
capable Of the most eIqusitey delicate and tender in
Elections. Her information IS remarkably correct Her
dramatic power is suited to her voice, and all that she

pairing force of men, and on last Monday
night they commenced work by stepping into
the places of the day "help" when their days
work was done, and taking up the work Just
where they left of, thus continuing the
work right on through the night. We are
aware that this has been the practice in some
branches Of industry, but never, TO our knowl-
edge, has il been attempted or demanded in
the music trade. Their new brick dry houses
are soon TO be completed, and the new fac.
tory filled with the machinery requisite to a
monthly production of 1900 organs. Indeed,
the company tell us that they intend to in
crease it, if possible, to 1900 per month.
