Music Notes.
Paderewski has begun his seventh tour
of America and will travel the better part
of 5000 miles before he says farewell in
May. In November and December most
Of his concerts are in the East. and he
will not use a special car until he starts
for the far West. He will be accompanied
by a very considerable retlnue. Most i'm
portant of all is Nine Paderewski, who
always goes with him everywhere. There
will be a representative of the house
which supplies his pianos, the plano tuner,
the representative of C. A.. Ellis, his
American manager; a representative of Mr..
Arlington, his English manager; his valet
and Nine. Paderewski's maid. Mr.. Aiding
ton has usually accompanied him on his
American tours. but he has been unable
to come over this year.

of the New York Symphony Society to-
morrow ut Carnegie Hall, New York, Wal
ter Damrosch has made a Dvorak program
which will give one of the most complete
pictures Of this composers activities as
an instrumental composer ever presented
here. The Symphony will be the New
World" which in general popularity in
this country seems to rank with Tschai-
kowsky's "Pathetique." Other Dvorak
works to be performed are the 'Carneval
Overture and the 'Slavonic Dances" both
characteristic of his skill in developing

The new auditorium at the University
of Illinois, in Urbana, was opened on No
vember 4 and 3, with a series of concerts
and other exercises. in honor of Edward
MacDowell. IT was the intention of the
university authorities in the dedication Of
this building to general university purposes
to mark a new relation between the State
university and the world Of musical educa-
ton. In furthering this intention plans
were laid to make the exercises a tribute
to the work OF the greatest American COM
poser. to be selected by the vote of the
musicians and music teachers of the coun-
try. That choice fell upon Edward Mac
Dowell, to whom a memorial tablet has
been placed in the new building. The adj
dress of the occasion was delivered by
Hamlin Garland, who, as an intimate
friend of Mr.. Mcdowell, spoke touchingly
and beautifully OF the man. of his great
soul and spirit, and his purpose to embody
in his compositions a new, fresh and virile
conception of musical possibilities. Mr..
.Garland's address touched d~elicately upon
the life, the ideals. the aspirations, and the
tragedy Of this greatest of living American
composers. He made clear the working
out of great manhood through music, and
with a poets touch brought the audience to
an intimate feeling of all that MacDowell
and his music signifies in the culture of
America and the world.
