He likes this | country very much and may decide to l return here next winter. in which case | he will devote himself to directing, in | structing and solo work. The fact of | his having played with Damrosch's or chestra will be an excellent recommen l dation in itself as to his ability.

Next fall they | hope to have several more artists in | the company, and to make it a nota- ply successful season.
