certs For Mr. Sherwood's concert a charge of

Miss Laura CASTOR, the pianist OF the con-
vention yesterday. passed four years in Stuttgart
nical ability, and flexible hand and wrist not
often seen in our best artists.
Mr.. VIM. H. Sherwood, so widely known as a
great pianist, will play recital at Pfaflins Hall
tonight Mr.. 0. W. Williams assisting. Mr..
Sherwood is favorite here, and comes at
sacrifice to further tho aims of the associ-
alton.
An effort is being made, and it is almost be-
yond doubt that it will prove successful, to
have the National Music Teachers Convention
held here in July of next year, at the City Hall
building. The Ohio State Association has al
ready signifed its intention of foregoing its an
nual session next year, in case the national con-
vention is held here, and will attend in a body.
1t is estimated that Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
alone will furnish 1000 delegates. A grand
musical festival for three evenings will be ar
$4,000, which will probably be the larger part Of
the money needed.
