AT the Monday popular concert, Glasgow,

THE Lord Mayor of London, Sir Henry
Isaacs, who will take the chair at the annual
| dipner of the Royal Society of Musicians at
| st. James Hail on March 4. was in youth q
| semi-professional operatic vocalist, and once
wrote musical criticisms. "He polished up the
singers SO faithfullee, that now he is the ruler
| of the big citee."
SPEAKING of the Home for the Frendless
| concert of Friday night, a cotemporary re-
marked yesterday morning: In one number,
selection from Gounod, where the chorus
was rendered with organ. harp and piano ac-
compartment, the climax of excellence was
reached" What cutting sarcasm! This
"climax of excellence" was reached by emitting
| the Gounod selection altogether!
Miss AGNES NoGEL, accompanied by her
brother, Joseph A, will leave for New York to-
morrow to put in a month, or two OF special
vocal study under the best master obtainable
This shows most commendable zeal for progress
on the part OF one who already stands among
the very foremost of our singers. Miss Sarah
Vogel will occupy her sisters place in the
Eighth Street Synagogue choir for the time
being.
The musical programme for to-day'sl con-
hrmation services at Christ Episcopal Church,

The Vienna Imperial Opera House cele-
brated, by festival performance, on the 26th
ult., the centenary anniversary of the first pro-
duction Of Mozarts opera "Cosi fan Tutte."
The work was brought out at Vienna on Jan.
uary 26, 1870, and, including the above festival
performance. was given at the Imperial Opera
House 96 times during the hundred years lust
elapsed Since July l6 17S2, when I'll Seraeiio"
first produced, this one house has had
l,5S7 performances of Mozart operas, besides
two presentations of his Requiem Mass
IT is now more than likely that Hans Won
Buelow will be heard here not only on Friday
evening (April 25) but at Saturday matinee
as well. This will be charming if it proves
true. The giving of a second programme
culled from various composers, will remove all
question as to the advisability of making up
the evening programme exclusively of Beetho-
Ven's works Buelow stands to-day indis-
putably the greatest Beethoven player alive; it
is educatiolally important that Pittsburg
should hear as many of those epoch-nak1nr
works as possible from this standard-giving
interpreter.
