has been greatly needed here. A string
quartette will shortly be formed, and
there will be revival of the delightful
chamber music which gave
so much pleasure in the
past. Mr.. Kuoera was at the last re-
hearsal of the Music Club orchestra,
and will hereafter play the cello in
it, He hopes in the course of a few
weeks to add another cello, to be
played by one who under his instruc-
ton is brushing UP his work on that
instrument.
Mr.. T. Lloyd Owens has accepted the
position as tenor in the choir of the
First Baptist Church, and will COM

everything musical that will be in New
York, barring the grand opera. Cam
panari has been here, DIPPED will be
here tomorrow night, Pugno will play
here the end of December. DeLussan
will sing at the theater in January,
the Music Club will have Blauvelt in
January, and Zeisler in February, and
possibly the Kneisel Quartette in
May, and Gabrilowitsch will play here
sometime in the spring. 1t is also ru-
mored that Media will be here in the
spring, at the close of the grand opera
season.
Pugno is making a success in this
country He Is creating more and more
intense curiosity each time that he
plays, and the approval that he is re-
ceiving at the hands of the press and
the TThIi0 &c iY1or1 !,
an excellent opportunity for music
lovers in Savannah to make COMPARE
sons this winter as the only great
pianists who will be in America this
season will play here, namely, Pugno,
