Chin to achieve an Intoxicating success need
surprise no one. But how did Mr.. Cocoon
! bring forth such resultf Butterflies, silk
hworns, cotton-ghins-the combination is too
much for hot-weather paragrapher.

APPARENTLY Philadelphia Music and Drama
is willing to succeed the absorbed Musical
Journal, in its capacity as official organ of the
Pennsylvania State Music Teachers Associ-
alton, as well as in its other functions. The
weekly named gives in its last issue q re-
sumo of the circular that had appeared in
THE DISPATCH the preceding Sunday, and
pertineDtly proceeds as follows: "1n con-
nection with this matter of debt liquidation,
cannot the Philadelphia members do their
share toward wiping out the deficit by CIV
ing an outdoor entertainment? We are not
prepared to suggest just the character, but
we believe the newly-organizedP Philadelphia
branch of the association could discuss the
subject and develop a profitable scheme.
Music and Drama offers the suggestion, and
trusts some action may be taken" So do We
all. Better late than never.

REVIEWING the past seasons symphony |
concerts the Boston Musical Herald SAYS: In |
the matter of programmes Mr.. Nikisch has |
made an advance over his first year; he has |
got bravely beyond the borders of the Rhine, |
and his ken includes an occasional Russian, |
Slav, Englishman and American. The pro- |
portion OF new music performed was greater |
this season than last, and the novelties we're |
generally worthy. Toward native composers |
Mr. Nikisch's' attitude was friendly, yet he |
has not given us any of Prof. Paine's music |
nor asked Mr.. Mcdowell to take down his |
us, and such an orchestra as the Boston |
Symphony should become their natural |
stimulus. With one or two exceptions the |
soloists were worthy the dignity of the con-
certs. As to performance the orchestra is
superior to anything this country has ever
heard; Mr.. Nikisch is a poet where Mr.. /
Gericke was an adjuster.
THE Frohsinn Singing Society held one of |
its pleasant entertainments at the club /
house last Thursday evening. This was the |
programme carried out under the direction
