THE only jerome Hopkins-who. by the
way is a near relative of Bishop Hopkins,
well remembered in Pittsburg-ended his
three years stay in London recently by Civ.
ing what he called "a philosophical and
humorous piano-lecture-concerto on the sub
ject of Musical Modesty and Kindred Vir-
tues" Musical Opinion says jerome draws
the conclusion that a supernuity of modest
is no advantage to great composers
KING HuMBKRT recently wired Manager
Harris his congratulations on ''the success
full revival of Italian opera in London" And
now it turns out that "Lohengrin" leads the
list of Al performances constituting the first
half of the season and OF which 20 were de-
voted to works by German composers l6 to
French works and only to Italian. There
are only two Italian singers in the company,
too. "Revival of Italian opera" is good!
REPLYING to the charge of having ultra
Teutonic tendencies, the Musical Courier
boldly announces this credimus: "We be-
lieve firmly in the enormous superiority Of
Dvorak, the Bohemian; Tschaikowsky, the
Russian and Saint-Saens, the Frenchman,
over any living composer of Germany, with
the possible exception of Brahms" What
would Buelow say at seeing the third mem
Der of his musical trinity of the ages reduced
to mere possibility in mere musical trinity
of to-day.
ERNEST VAN DycK, the Belgian tenor who
has been so successful at Bayreuth, Vienna
and now at London, is only 81 years old.
America stands some chance of hearing him
in his prime, then. Jean dc Reske, who is
only ten years older, is said TO be GER
tainly coming over next season. The eN-
port tenors we hear are commonly either
crude products with nothing but voice or
else voiceless fellows with nothing left but
experience. Alvary may seem an excep-
ton but he was only crude product when
he came over; the surprise was in his finding
an artistic refinery at New York.
GENOA shares with us the best right to
celebrate next year the four hundredth an
of the greatest voyage of discovery
in the worlds history. According to the
London Musical Ne,cs, that municipality has
already signed with Baron Franchetti, COM
poser of 'Asrael,'' a contract to compose q
festival opera, entitled Columbus" as the
appropriate mode of commemoration. The
composer will get IS, 900 lire for his work, and
200 600 lire is allotted by the municipality for
the production of it. Surely America has
composers at least as gifted as Franchettf,
and one of them would be much more fit-
ting recipient for such a commission. But
we have no such municipalities over here.

A Guide to Musical Form.

There are many good folks at important
concerts who keep their eyes glued on the
descriptive programme book, whenever such
is provided, as though unable to CLEAN any,
thing from music without the help of words
They may save themselves that trouble in
future by memorizing, once for all, the COM
plete guide TO musical form quoted by the
Boston IrdUelleT, as follows:
'lf you know at once what it is all about
If it seems to be saying one, two, three, hop,
hop, hop, or one, two three, bang, bang
bang, you may conclude at once that YOU re
listening to something of a very low order
which it is your duty to despise When You
hear something that sounds as if an assorted
lot of notes had been put into a barrel and
were being persistently stirred up, like a
kind of harmonious Cruel, you may know it
Is fugue, and safely assume an expression
of profound interest If the notes appear to
have been dropped by accident and are being
fished up at irregular intervals, in a sort of
placid or drowned condition, il is likely to be
d nocturne, and nocturnes, you know, are
quite too lovely for anything. If the notes
seem to come in carloads, each load of diff
ferent kind from the last, aud if the train
seems to be an unusually long time in pass.
ing any given point, it will turn out most
likely to be a symphony; and symphonies
are just the grandest things that ever were.
If the notes seem to be dumped out in
masses. and shoveled vigorously into heaps,
and then blown widely into the air by ex-
pIosions of dynamite that is rhapsody; and
rhapsodies are among the latest things in
music''

Baseball to Cover a Deficit.

The committee of May Festival patron
esses and business men in charge of the
effort to raise the lamented deficit met
yesterday noon in the Pittsburg Library
paTlors. While the returns from the supple
mentary concert are not yet complete, it
seems quite sure that over 500 were realized,
as against $40 50 of expense. In ad-
dition several private subscriptions we're
placed in the hands of some men,
bers of the committee, in readiness
to pay at once some few of the smaller and
more pressing debts. The general proceeds
of this concert and of any further entertain
ment the committee has properly decided
should be distributed pro rata among all
Just debts of the festival, in case the hope
of raising enough to pay all in full should
not be realized.
a special committee, including Messrs w
r. Thompson (Chairman), Charles H. Read
o. D. Thompson, John Moorhead, r. D. Tot
ten, H. /. Goehring and Charles W. Scovel,
were appointed to arrange, if possible, for
Yale-Princeton ball game, to be given July
or at Exposition Park for the MAY Festival
cause. 1t is expected to have Stagg
the famous Yale pitcher, and Young. of
Louisville, Princeton's crack twirler, besides
the best players of the respective colleges
who can be had in this vicinity. Already
much social interest has been awakened, and
the college spirit seems likely to run high
over the contest if the contemplated ar
langements for 1t can be made.
