MUSICAL MENTION.

1t is uncertain whether Washington will
be favored with a visit from Mr. Grau's
Metropolitan Opera House Company or not
Negotiations have been carried On by sew
eral parties with Mr.. Grau but none have
reached any definite conclusion 1t is ex-
pected that something definite will be set
tied upon within a week. Mr.. Grau will not
come here, 1t is understood, without a GER
tain guarantee, and that has not vet been
made. Last season the company came to
the Grand Opera House, but that is not
available now, for MeSsrs Burke &, Chase
have booked attractions beyond the time
when Mr. Grau would wish to come here.
He could go to the Lafayette Square Opera
House. but 1t Is understood he wants a
guarantee OF the sale of all the boxes both
floor and mezZanine, for the season. That
would cover him sufficiently as to his ex-
penses. and If he played Baltimore on al
season in both cities. Those who are
anxious TO have the company come here
think that with the proper effort all the
boxes could be sold, and it is probable that
II an arrangement is made 1t will be with
some such condition.
There are a good many musical events In
prospect. Inc series of concerts by the
that the dates are fixed on the Tuesdays in
March. Petchnikoff. the Russian yioIinist-
ana teonora jackson. the young American
Vlolinist. will be the solotsts at the frst
two concerts. and the others have not yet
| been selected.
1t is probable that Henri Marteau, the
French violinist. and Miss Lolita MiIIs. nj
| anist. will give a concert here some time
| this month.
Walter Damrosch will give lecture re-
cital for the Choral Society at the Congre-
gationai Church next Wednesday evening.
and there is possibility that Mr. Dam
| rosch may come here later with Nine. Cad
ski in a lecture recital.
The Damrosch Society will have De Pach-
mann here in a Chopin piano recital and
there Is possibility that Mark Hamburg,
the young Russian pianist who seems l.,
have taken the place of Paderewsk in the
affection of the fmpressionable women
may come here for a recital either alone or
| in conjunction with a remarkable cello
| player.
Henry wolfsohn. who will direct the tour

Europe by the middle of this month, to
take the preliminary steps to secure a

Michael and All Angels Church tomorrow
