FrCAl the Forum
What We need is American opera given under
American influences. This can be brought
abou. only by an elaborate and well-organized
system of musical education. We have plenty
of good material for the making of musicians,
bnt this material is buried beneath the army of
foreign artists who come annually to our shores
and whom Americans have formed the habit of
encouraging-often simply because they are
foreigners. in order to bring out this
latent material . schoo! for opera should
be- established here. II conducted on
the best principles it would be Of in
estirnRble advantage. It would keep at
homo those young musicians who annually 90
abroad to study. sometimes under the greatest
Disadvantages, and it would encourage those
to undertake musical education who are de-
TERED from il by the expense which they would
incur by European training. The school should
not only train singers, but also young men who
are ambitious to become orchestra players and
orchestrs leaders. There should be in connec.
ton with it a thester in which operas might be
produced. The institution would thus be n
practical school for opera The first year after
Its establishment should be spent in funda-
mental training. Private performances Of
opera might be given, but no puo,Ic ones
until the artists had been thoroughly trained.
As soon as this was accomplished. three or
four operas might be publicly produced each
year. Native singers would thus have the adj
vantage of being heard under the most favor
able conditions, and native instrumentaIjxts
would display their talents in the orchestra
We need, especially, q better training in this
country for orchestra leaders. American COM
posers, too, would be greatly helped. for the
school should endeavor to encourage Them
not by ignoring works written by foreigners,
but by giving preference to operas written by
Americans. II il were possible to raise guar
antee fund for such an establishment, splendid
results might be obtained in very short time.

Great Britain the land of athletes and the
home of cricket, is to have base ball this sea-
son, and plenty Of it. A meeting was held
some days ago at the Royal and Commercial, the
hotel in Stafford, and steps were taken toward
organization of English leagues and associa-
tons. Tho country was divided into ten
districts, Birmingham, Cleveland, Derby, Liv-
erpool London, Manchester, Newcastle Not
tingham Preston and Stoke. Each of these
districts reported the existence within its Dor
ders Of several clubs--twenty IN the Cleveland
district alone. This showing astounded the
Americans present, who did not suppose that
there were twenty organized base ball clubs in
all England.
A union was proposed between the base ball
organizations and the National Founders As
ISOLATION. The delegates from the latter Or
ganzation had objections to the method of
pitching-the three out system and the foul
lines. In other words, they wished to make
the game as similar to cricket as possible.
Various foot bail clubs reported willingness to
play base ball and the fine points of the game
we're thoroughly discussed. After protracted
session and long arguments on the merits of
the present rules of the game the meeting adj
journed. The managers of the various foot
ball clubs have since been making all prepare
lions for the american game and base bali
promises to be lively feature in English
sports this year.

by popular subscription TO raise o sum OF
money sufficient to erect guide boards through
out the county. in pcrplexing places, cross
roads, DC. Already enough to begin with has
been received, but more is necessary to prop
erly carry out the scheme. The method of
procedure in some of the New England states
Is to collect money to sue the selectmen for
neglecting to place guide boards at the cross
roads.
Some members Of the District division of tho

whereby sign boards can be procured for the
