Monday night, there has been a dearth
of affairs musical during the past week.

Mozart hall was participated in by eight
pupils of Eugene Clifford Murdoch. The
programme held the interested attention
of large audience, for though the play
eFs made no pretense of being anything
but students, and youthful students at
that, their work was in many resp {. S
unusual. Each pupil not only possesses
the necessary technique and true conc D.
ton, but individuality, and plenty of it.

In st. Petersburg and Moscow there
are music students of a class entirely
strange to us. They are studying music
as classes OF young men here study med
iclne or law. They go to a concert held
by famous musician, as medical stu
dents go to the clinic Of a fannOf1e CIR
geon TO study They Scorn anything but
the severely classical concert. and most
OF them hold scores in their laps and
make notes on them as the music IS in
terpreted- Nine. Sembrich and Lii Leh-
mann have been particularly generous to
these students, and during their Russian
fours always gave concerts for them
selling only enough tickets to the general
public to defray expenses.
Harry E. Phillips will spend the sum-

part of the month for the East. He will
