which they may we'll feel proud. They
have set an example which many
might well follow, and have lent their
aid towards the accomplishment OF a
thing of which the entire community
now feels proud. It was in recognI-
ton of the assistance they had been TO
the orchestra that the amateurs ar
ranged and gave to them, and to Mr..
Meyer, the omplimentary benefit, and
the large attendance showed the appre-
citation of the public for what they have
done. From the present indications the
Music Club Orchestra is here to stay,
and will grow just as the club has done.
Mrs. T. P. Wickenberg has recently
returned to the city from several sue
cessful concert engagements in neigh
boring cities. In every one Of them she
met with a gratifying success, and
there is no doubt of return engage
ments for her in each place in the ru-
ture. The position that Mrs. Wicken-
berg has attained in musical circles In
the South is greatly to her credit, as
she has reached that mark with but
few advantages and purely by her own
efforts. and untiring work. Savannah
is rapidly getting back to the position
she once held in the musical world, and
will soon again be looked upon as the
musical center of the South, as New
York is of the East and North and Chi
cago of the West
Mr.. Adolf Sundheimer, vice president
of the Music Club, and one of the most
prominent singers here, will leave
Wednesday for New York where he
will remain a few days prior to sail

part of the time in Germany. Mr..
Sundheimer purposes taking advant-
age of the opportunities offered him in
being in the musical centers of Ger
many, and will do some vocal study
ing whilst there, preparatory to next
seasons musical work here.
Josef Hoffman, will return to Amer
lea next fall for another concert tour
The past season he has spent touring
Europe and has made an even greater
success than in former years. His last
American tour was most successful,
but he will unquestionably receive an

plays on his return. 1t is hoped that
Savannah may be fortunate enough to
have him.
