The death in abject poverty last week of
lima de Murska makes a mournful close for
career which is depicted by, Grove in such
bright colors as this:

Paris by Madame and Slgnor Marchesi; made
her debut in opera at the Pergola Florence in

Nav II, 1865 She played also Lindn Anlind,
Astrifdmn,o1tte and sang at the Phi harmonic,

lamented DIR. Dykes, whose name stands over
some of the finest anthems and hymn tunes ever
written in our own or any other age. Young
Dykes studied for some years under Clara
Schumann and has thus imbibed the best ira
di.ions of the best school OF pianoforte playing
which the world has ever seen or is likely to
see. His concert at Princes Hall, Piccadilly,
