WITH MUSICIANS
AND MUSICAL PEOPLE.

1t has been definitely decided to hold
the first meeting of the Music Club
Oct. Is, instead of the LIST. This will
insure a more satisfactory programme
of music than was possible had the
meeting been held on the first Thurs
day in October the regular date, as so
many of the active members of the
club who have been absent from the
city during the summer did not return
in time for the preparation which is
necessary for the style of programmes
as is now given at these regular semi
monthly meetings. In the meantime,
looking forward to the annual meeting
which will be held on Nov. 5, many
names of new persons for membership
are being sent to the president, on all
sides those who are at present mem
bers having friends who wish to join
the club. There is no question but
what this is the most successful musi-
cal organization that has ever been In
existence in Savannah.
With the annual meeting Will COM
mence the eighth consecutive season OF
it's existence--a life for II longer than
has ever before been experienced
by a similar society here. Organized
and conducted on strictly business
principles, with no favoritlsm or pref
udice shown to any particular person
or faction. it has shown a steady and
healthy growth from it's first incep-
ton. To sum it all up. it is tribute
to the memory Of the late Judge VIM.
D. Harden under whose careful and
Just management it was organized and
conducted up to the time of his death.
There are some of the present MEM
bers who have moved away from the
city who will not be associated with
1t during the next season. and there
are probably others who may not care
to continue as members. For the bene-
fit of the latter class, the secretary of
the club viii shortly send out notices
to every member to receive them that
unless designations are in by the date
Of the annual meeting, they will be
considered as continuing their member
ship and dues for the succeeding sea-
son assessed and collected according
~.
Mrs. w. Fl. Teasdale will commence
her class in voice culture again on
Oct. /. The chorus work with which
she made such a success during last
season will be started again on the
first Monday evening in October, and
rehearsals will be held regularly on
Monday evenings thereafter. Through
out last winter Mrs Teasdale gave a
monthly afternoon musical tea on the
first Saturday in each month which
proved most entertaining and attrac-
tive for those attending them, as well
as instructive to those of her class
taking part on the programme arrang-
ed for these entertainments. 1t has
not yet been announced what course
Mrs. Teasdale will pursue about these
teas this season, but she will doubt
less either continue them or inaugurate
some form Of work for her pupils
which will be equally as attractive
to her many friends.
No announcement has yet been made
by Mr.. George Blakeley about his or
gan recitals for this season. The plan
of holding these recitals as inaugurated
for the first time In Savannah by Mr..
Blakeley last winter, though a novelty
here, proved most entertaining one.
The programmes as given, whilst care
fully arranged so as TO suit and please
in parts every one of those who went
to hear them, were of the best order of
organ music, and proved q source of
vast instruction TO many. At many OF
these recitals the attendance was by
no means as large as the entertain
ment deserved, but this can probably
be attributed TO the novelty OF the
thing. In all of the larger cities of
this country and Europe. these organ
recitals are given. and with great sue
cess. and there Is no doubt but that
this season viii bring a largely increase
interest In them here.
Tuesday evening. Oct. 10 the choir
Of 81. Pauls Lutheran Church will
give q choir recital az the church. Mrs.
w. n. Teasdale has the arrangement
81 the programme IN charge, but II
has not yet been sufficiently definitely
arranged Tor announcement.
