on board the White Star liner did much
to temporarily brace him UP, and many
of the passengers were agreeably sur
prised at his consenting to wind up the
usual concert with solo. 1t was a menu
orable concert in many ways. Max
O'Rell was in the chair, several operate
stars sang, and Paderewski played. The
voyage, however, was not suh1ciently

ament.

of Vienna was visited by terrible
overflow of the river Danube, which
brought untold misery upon thousands
of it's inhabitants, the greatest surfer
ers being the poor who lived in the lower
parts of the city. This great disaster
evoked countless deeds of charity the
Imperial family taking the lead. At the
instance of the emperor, Carl Czerny
the famous maestro, arranged RosSini s
immortal overture to Semiram1de Tor
eight pianos and sixteen performers,
which was the growing glory of
great concert given for the benefit of
the victims of the overflow. This Won
derful work, which to this day stands
alone in it's sublime grandeur, was on
that occasion performed by the men,
bers of the emperor's court Necessarily
it requires the most careful training for
accuracy of time and precise rythm, and
should prove a splendid test of Mrs.
Masacs well known educational abili-
ties.
