avenue, which is described In the social
column, was especially noteworthy in
that IL introduced two new Dianists, Miss
Adelaide Hill! and Miss Ann Koonz The
debut OF young musicians is always
watched with interest. and although both
the Dianistes had previously played In pub
lie, this was the first purely critical
audience before which they had both ap-
peared as solo performers. The
result reached by Miss Hill in
Mascagini's famous intermezzo. and
balIade aud waltz, justify musicians in

The same evening many musicians OF
the city will attend the Yanko piano
recital in New York. This curious iustru-
lnent, somewhat resembling an organ IN
the arrangement of its KEYS, is not yet
we'll known, and musicians, in general,
ire a little afraid of Innovations. Yet
they say that its peculiar construction
facilitates execution. and certainly Miss
Ethel NeWcJmbe, who is QUE OF the finest
piauisis of this CITY and has played before
large audiences in New York, believes
there is nothing like the fine instrument
which she possesses.
Speaking of curious pianos, Mr.. Fred
w. Pangborn has invented and patented
one which certainly bears off the palm
for originality. whatever may be said OF
it's artistic value. Instead of a horizon
tai arrangement of the sounding board
aud strings. they go straight up in the
air, making the whole thing something
like an upright grand" to coin an ex-
preston.
