Duluth has high standing in the musi-
cal circles of the state. More than one
artist of worldwide note calls this city
home and the amateur musicians here
are especially ambitious and markedly
up in the technique and expression Ct
their work. The condition is in a large
sense due to the influence of the Matinee
musicale, an amateur musical society, the
work of which would compel the admir2-
tion of faithful artists. The club has a
definite line of study and the most minute
attention is paid to the details of its
work. The subject for 1901-1902 is ''Tne
Development of Music From the Six
teenth Century" and embraces fer the
fortnightly meetings, a general paper on
THE Composers of the Century under
