Although everything in musical
circles is dull just now, as becomes the
season, there has been noted during
the past two weeks an increasing inter
est in the approaching seasons pro-
gramme. and dainty little notes from
truant songsters who have been for the
last six weeks sOjourning at the lakes
and seaside resorts, have been received
by the folks at home, asking what ar
engagements are being made for winters
evening sing-songs.
Music lovers will be glad to hear that
arrangements have been completed for
the return here early in the season of
the famous singers who took part in the
June festival, as we'll as many other
celebrities, who will combine in 4 grand

vano, one of the most promising you G
students for the operate stage, acco! =

she has been student for several yea

Signor Salvano possesses a tenor of
wonderful range and sweetness, and the
couple will remain in st. Paul several
weeks, while EN- route to San Francisco.
It seems that such all array of
world-famed musical talent as will be
presented at the coming concert events.
should be attractive enough to satisfy
the most eXacting.
There is a strong effort being made
among the colOred people of st. Paul to
secure the establishment of a choral
singing society to be composed of col
ored people exclusively. The project is
one which has been agitated to more or
less extent for year past, and the idea
seems about to be realized. Interest
has been taken in the matter y num-
Der of the best known musical people Of
the city, who will assist III securing
organization for the new society and
assist at Tehearsals until it has been
given fair start on the road to fame.
