THE following cable, reprinted in the musical
journals, though it seems to come from the
wrong place (Mr, Craig died in Munich), viii
interest the many friends of the lamenfed
young pianist:
BERLIN, March 2s-George Russell Craig, the
SON of a prominent Pittsburg business man; died
here suddenly last week. He was formerly the
TO Germany to finish his studies. Prince Ruprecht,
the future King Of Bavaria and other promlnen!
men were special friends OF the dead man, ana
testified their regard by splendid floral gifts.
WHATEVER may be thought regarding the
question of what band should be secured for
the Exposition next fall, all right-minded peo-
pie will agree that the Great Western Band,
having been engaged for the opening OF the
baseball season. should not now be ousted
from that engagement at the bidding of the M.
NJ. p. U. The public had almost forgotten the
existence of that moribund instrument of
tyranny. 1t is pity that the public memory
should be jogged by repetition OF the old
petty, jealous spirit instead of some of the
glorious schemes for amelorating the con-
dition of music-makers put forth on paper by
that same NJ. NJ. p. ..
Mr.. GEORGE H. WILSON. compiler of that
valuable series of Musical Year Books, has this
10 say in his prospectus of the volume for
lSS9-90 which will be out aboutMay 0:''The new
year book will be similar in plan to the last. 1t
will contain about l50 pages, displaying the
States and Canada, local events Deing classified.
Its supplemental features will include:
Table of new compositions by native
writers; table of first performances in the
United States. and another embracing the
world, of more important works (more far
reaching than any have yet prepared); sum-
mary of proceedings at the annual meeting of
the M. I. n. A, and full index of titles. The
only feature of the new year book will be a
retrospect. The present and future value of
the year book scarcely needs urging. Merely
for purposes of comparison. is it not of benefit
to you to have at hand, in convenient form,
complete record of the work of leading sing
ing clubs, chamber music oratorio and orches-
trail societies of the country?
