Programme.

The American tour of Jan Kubelik, the
young Polish violinist, whose London
success during the past season has been
most phenomenal, will be under the drec-
ton of Daniel Frohman, of Days
theater. Associated with him will be
Hugo Gorlitz, the manager for so many
seasons of Paderewskis American tours
and who is firmly convinced that in this
artist he has one who will rival even the
better known musician in popularity and
success, in fact, be the only real sensa-
ton for some seasons in musical circles
The modern "Paganini," as he is every
where called, completely captivated both
the musicians and the most exclusive So
cial sets in the English metropolis the
last two seasons, even royalty itself
yielding to the spell of the magnetic
young artist, he having played before the
late Queen Victoria and the present king
at their command.
Enough has been heard of him already
in this country to arouse the interest of
the public, and his first American app
pearance at Carnegie hall, New York,
Monday evening, Dec. 2, assisted by Emil
Paur and his symphony orchestra, will
be an event of unusual Importance to
music lovers.
One of the disappointments of the mu-
steal department of the Pan-Ameriean
exposition was the fact that it could not
secure the vast musical library of Innes,
the bandmaster for exhibition as the rep
resentative musical collection of the
world-wnich it really is. But the APP
preparations set aside for this purpose
were not sufficient to cover the cost of
this work, and it had to be abandoned.
However, when Innes plays here in the
fall he will render many of the exclusive
selections from it, such as his transcript
lions of old Hebraie melodies, the eX-
amples of the early Christian and Gre
gorian chants. These, or some of them,
are also promised as part of his. pro-
grammes here, after the Buffalo season is
over.
One would hardly take Innes, the band
master for the great musician he is.
Most men who attain pre-eminenees in
his art are givenqto eccentricitfes in dress
or manner. Innes on the contrary is a
plain, hearty business man in appear
ance, as all will see when he comes here
after mis- Buffalo season is over.
Robert E. Johnston, the New York I'M
pressario, has secured, under three

after will begin an extended tour, visit
ing the principal cities in the East,
South and West. His tour will be per-
SOndIy conducted. by Manager johnston,
who has enjoyed an exceptional ex-
perience in handling violinists. 1t was he
VINO so successfully managed the tours
of Ysaye, Musin, Sauret Marteau, Riv-
arde Huberman and others. On his first
American concert tour Bailey will be as
sociated with Edwin M Shonert, the
pianist, and Elizabeth Northrop, the
prima donna.
The St. Paul Choral club promises
