.M MUSICAL NOTES.

William F. Morgan, jr., the well known young basso, has begun studying with the celebrated vocal teacher, James Sauvage of New York Mr Morgan is now the solo basso of R. P. Paine's choir in New Britain.
 Herbert Witherspoon, who made a successful debut with the Castle Square opera company in the part of Ramfis, in Aida" has been chosen for the prin- cipal bass role in the coming produc- tion of Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" The Castle Square company made a very favorable impression with their presentation of "Aide," which was by all odds the heaviest work they have ever attempted Aida" ran for ten weeks, which was extraordinary, since this opera has never been considered a great drawing card, Even with the best forces of the Metropolitan com- pany it has never been sung more than three or four times in a season. The Castle Square company is giving ITO vatore" this week and Romeo is promised for next week.
 An announcement of interest to the musical world is that of the marriage of Suzanne Adams and Leo Stern. Su- zanne Adams made very successful debut at the Grand opera in Paris two winters ago. She is an American girl and of course a pupil of Marchesi Since her debut she has sung with con- tinued success in several continental cities, and last spring was heard in Coven Garden She was so well liked that she was immediately engaged for New York, and she will be heard with the company at the Metropolitan in November. Leo Stern is q young Eng fish 'cellist who has played great deal in this country and has been a great musical success and also a great social lion. There is said to have been a romantic attachment existing for several years between Miss Adams and MT. Stern. MT. Stern has been married before his first wife, Nettie Carpenter, was a violinist. Nettie Car penter played in this country many years ago in the old New Haven opera house, when Josef Hoffman gave his first recital here.
 Madame Sofia Schalchi, the famous contralto, who was in her prime in the golden days, of the old Academy of Mu- sic with Patti and her contemporaries, is now touring about the country with a concert company. They appeared in Derby on Wednesday of last week. The company consisted of. Mime. Noldi, so- prano; Signor Canzio, tenor, and Sig nor Alberti, baritone, and an accom- panist. They gave a miscellaneous programme, concluding with the last act of "Trovatore." The tenor was throughout most uncertain quantity, and in the opera excerpts and in the quartet from "Agoletto'' things went pretty badly and Madame Schalchi, of a professional murderess, wore a dark portentious smile that bespoke a terrible fate for the tenor when all was over Schalchi's voice was resonant and rich in the lower register, but the upper tones were sadly worn. The bright man who said upon the contral- to's departure for Europe one year, that Madame Schalchi left yesterday on the steamer-accompani by vari- ous voices," might have said of her singing now that she had forgotten to bring but one of her many voices, etc.
