EDUCATION OF A SINGER.

When to Begin Training a Girls Voice.
Women Tenchers-Hoty to Practice.
The age at which a girl should begin
| the study of music is the earliest at
which her parents can bring it before
her intelligence. a good musical train
ing, both in its literary sense and in
actual manual dexterity, should be
necessary adjunct in the education of
singer. But the age at which a girls
voice should begin training or c1ltiva-
ton is another matter. This should not
be until the character of the voice is as
! sured and secured by physical condi-
lions. The Italian school of voice pro-
+ duction and cultivation is, for various
reasons and especially for its results,
the accepted school Of vocal training.
Many excellent graduates of this system
are now in America. and competent in
structiOn is therefore obtainable almost
universally. Tho rates of tuition are in
most cases reasonable, as the knowledge
impaired is the attainment OF long ap-
premiership to a profession, and the
value of the training received incalcu-
liable to any one purpOsing to use the
voice either in public and professional
work or in home and social singing.
The writer of the foregoing proceeds
TO Tell IN Inc LADIES' hO1Q6
that he thinks, given an equity of skill,
women teachers are rather better in the
earlier training-the voice production
and breathing exercises-for women
pupils than are men. After these prin-
ciples have been grasped and the pupil
has gained enough control of the voice
to show she understands what has been
impaired to her, perhaps a man teacher
Sc oh 10 lie. hot To
secure better work from them. However,
at present the woman singing teacher
is in the ascendant.
Any competent instructor will advise
pupil to practice only for short inter-
walls, but to repeat these intervals as
frequently as physical strength and con-
ditions will permit. Beyond this it is
quite impossible to lay down any rules
regarding the length of time for prac-
tice. 1t is well that pupil should not
practice for q longer time than Is min
utes, but these periods may recur after
five or ten minutes of relaxation. The
amount Of time required and allowed
for practice must depend upon so many
conditions that exact rules are impossi-
bic. One pupil may acquire in 80 min
utes what another would take four
hours to attain.
One should practice with some inter
est i'll what is to be done, with the de-
termination to conquer some difficulty,
to acquire further ease, with some hope
of actual and immediate gain, not mere
ly to get rid of time, to get through
with a necessary evil. In placing or
posing the voice, in all the preliminary
work ana in the preparatory studies,
the student should practice in a soft
voice. This is to avoid the muscular
strain and effort so noticeable and in
evitable IL beginners, and to accustom
the singer to using the mezzo voce-or
half voice. Advanced pupils may use a
larger and rounder tone in their studies,
and practice their songs as they are
written, with their various degrees Of
piano and forte.

Balance

Inc gross pIonts TO Inc city from the
first day of April, 1893, to the first day of
November, 1895, two years and half,
were 81 ,035. OF. The Dispatch then adds
this in explain alton: THE city paid the
water company $4,000 per year hydrant
rental, which now costs nothing, through
the interest on the $4,000 bonds is
sued to pay for the works, which
amounts to $500 per year, may be set
over against this, making a clear saving
of $1,000 per year. For two and half
years this would amount to 81, $50.
Add this to the profit of $1.03587 and
we are ahead Of the deaf $5,7s5.87. Nor
is this all, for the reduction in rentals to
patrons will average nearly 20 per cent,
the exact amount of this of course
being impossible to estimate.
The interest on the S32, 900 judgments
against the city and the costs attending
the fighting of the case in the courts,
makes quite a sum, but that would have
TO be paid anyway, and doesn't cut any
figure in the calculations. BY way of
explanations we would say that the first
$301 % in this statement was borrowed
fromthe general fund and returned there
to the next year. The first cost of the
works to the city was $50. 800, and it is in
better shape now than when it was
bought.

WICHITA FAIR GROUNDS RENTED.
W. r. DuIancy SECURES the Race Track
For the Isenefil OF j. B. Chandler.

W. r. DuIancy Secures the Race Track
For the Benefit Of j. B. Chandler.
WICHITA, Jan. 2.-The renting of the
fair grounds to an outside party has cre-
ated something of sensation here.
81 don't know what it means" said
John Winsor, "but have been told that
Chandler and some other horse men are
back of it and I cannot find out what it
means, nor do l know what effect it is
going to have on the state fair"
Postmaster Tom Fitch is the man who
has the authority to rent the grounds,
and it was learned that W. r. Dulaney
had rented the grounds but for what
purpose is not known.
When MI Dulaney was asked who had
rented the fair grounds, he said: ''Why,
1 did,
81 had two objects in view in renting
the grounds" continued Mr.. Dulaney.
I'm the first place that track down there
is the best in the state and 1 want il
kept up. That is one reason, but there
is another. l don't know as it is proper
to speak of that, but I guess l will.
You know ]. 3. Chandler has had
some trouble with the National Trotting
association and at present he stands
temporarily suspended. l believe he
will be able 10 make it all right, at least
I hope he will. But in the meantime
the track here being in the association
tAeI0 IL n duSaAiOu W0OlASAe NAdHOi0L
could drive his horses on it if anybody
should enter an objection. Well, you
see, it is not an association track now.
1t is private track.
81 attended the great races in differ
ent places last summer and observed
closely the men who held the reins on
the fast trotters and PAGERS and l made
up my mind that j. B. Chandler is the
greatest driver and trainer of trotting
horses in America TODAY.
81 have some pretty good horses of
my own and l want Chandler to drive
them and | intend that he shall have a
track to drive them on if 1 am able to
get one"
