 There are 8 good many artists in Ger many who have nice little income on the side from occasional concert ap- pearances. But just ask them to de- scribe the experiences of their first years. Then, too. against this number of successful artists must be placed the countless disappointed ones who, notwithstanding failure, were by no means blockh eads.
 The singers among the American aspirants who come here have peculiar complications to face. The teacher they choose generally has them under his tn umb when they begin their public ca reer. Besides the limitations of his own personal tastes he may also have con nections, from the early years of his professional career.

 SKATERS DELUsIONs
 AROUND MUSICAL BERLIN.
 It costs money to study music In Berlin. A delusion to the contrary IS sh hattered by August Spanuth the we'll known critic. in letter from Berlin to The New York staats-Zeitung.
 The first delusion is the cheapness of study in Germany, and especially in Berlin" observes MT. Spannth. "The American sends for the prospectus of a reputable conservatory, in which he finds the total tuition fees for year, including instruction in all depart ments, placed at from $100 to $125. The same amount of instruction would cost much more, of course. in America. But 1t must be taken into consideration that at German conservatories the fees are increased by all sorts of little extras Then the instruction is principally class instruction. with very rarely more than twenty minutes individual atten- tion to each pupil.
 Moreover, the theory classes are usually so overcrowded that the stu dent has to do a great deal of work by himself to accomplish anyth Ing worth speak ing of Especially is he at a disadvantage if he is not thoroughly at home in the German language How often ambitious American students have come to me and bemoaned the necessity of resorting to expensive pri- vate instruction in theory.
 And private lessons are not whit cheaper here than in America. I have vet to find a piano or violin teacher with a reputation who would take less than s5 per lesson of one hour from American pupils. Whether students of other nationalities are allowed cheap CT rates I do not know, but I think 1t Is quite possible In fact, 1t Is by no means uncommon for private teachers to charge $7.50, $10 or even $12.50 per lesson.
 "The danger of falling into the wrong hands Is a subject to which whole chapter could be devoted. Suf- flee to say that If American students and their parents would exercise It, tie more care and, above all Judgment, many fatal errors, especially in the case of vocal students. could be avoid ed.
 This second delusion. that it is much cheaper to live in Berlin than in American cities is no longer generally encouraged, it Is true, but 1t should be permitted to die out entirely. The rates at respectable Berlin pension are almost invariably higher than a an American boarding house of the same rank. Even if the monthly sum should really seem a little less. our American friend will find at the end of the month that the extras for light, heat, baths and so forth. more than make up the difference.

spring the people Of Greenville ana the
Delta would see a superior class Of
racing TO the kind seen here last week,
on account Of the fact that III the fall
many fairs are being held all over the
country. 1t is impossible for race
horses to be entered at many of the
meets, but in the spring there are few
fairs and none in the South, so that if
racing were held here, fine horses from
all over the country could be brought
to GreenvilIe If the spring meet was
held here it would be under the man
sgoment Of the fair association.
