Last week was known to musicians
of Chicago as "Chicago's Onicial Com
mencement Week" About 565 pupils
were launched upon the musical sea
OF life.
In reviewing the musical events Of
the past week, perhaps one of the
most delightful recitals was that CIV
en- by Mr.. Fritz Krull, of Indianapo-
lis, assisted by his pupils. The pro-
gram was rendered well-night fault
lessly. Considering its classical ma
ture, it was q credit to Richmond that
her musicians are equal to such a test.
1t was noticeable that all the singers
had full central Of their voices, and
adapted them to tho compositions with
fine discrimination. Miss Blanche
Boyd has magnificent rich voice
which was particularly well suited to
Schubcrt's my Abode" Her rendi-
ton of Schubert's "Sercnade' was sim
cere favor Miss Lura Colvin sang
Schubert's "Thc Young Nun" in ex-
cellent style. This extremely difiicul
and rarely attempted song rivals THE
Erlking'' in dramatic quality and force
fulness OF mood. Miss Colvin show
probation Miss Eikenberry was at her
best In Schumann's Err derr Herr
licheste Won Allen which she pre-
scented In German. Spring Night"
by Schumann, was presented by Miss
Eikenberry with the requisite dash
and brilliancy. Miss Eva Griffis sang
the two well known Schubert songs.
"Hark, Hark. the Lark and who
is Sylvia" in good taste. These num-
bers, SO often spoiled by too slow a
tempo, were carried out in flowing.

Strauss and Brahms were presented
on the program with the formers TO

The only reason why Caruso Is not
in London this season is
that he could not accept the terms pro-
posed for his appearance. 1t Is also
not to be wondered at that he should
desire to rest after ten years of inces-
SAINT work. Accompanied by Signor
Lecomte, the well known operate bar
tone. who is also. a member Of the
Opera House Company OF
New York, Caruso is spending short
holiday on his estate in Italy. His first
and only appearance in London for
this year 1t to take place at Albert
