While the study OF music in American col

are most interested in the development of the
subject in the educational systems of the

for music courses. The significance OF the ac-

meet greater interest in the elementary and
secondary schools than has hitherto been mani

Rapid progress is being made toward ade-

music although there are still many perplex-

Of instruo ton in music has not been fully de-

still remains a prejudice the part of the

Am Once More Fortunes Favorite.
The season of 1885 sent us to the
top again with big hurrah. Looking
over the record for that year see
that from start to finish Chicago and
New York were the only ones in 1t
and that 1t was nip and tuck be-
tween them almost to the last. At the
end Of May the New Yorks were in
the lead, with II out Of 81 games to
their credit We played 20 games that
month and won only IA. In June
things took turn in our favor, Chi
cago winning 81 out of % games
played, New York losing FIVE out of
the 20 played.
During the month Of July 1t locked
like anybody's race, each of us win
ming 18 games, although Chicago was
defeated only six times against its
rivals seven. In August the New
York team had the advantage again,
winning 10 out of 81 games played,
while we lost four out of 49, In Sep
TENDER we forged ahead with IL out
of 20 games. our competitors for the
pennant losing six out OF 10 games
played.
The New Yorks finished their sea-
son with four games played at Chi
cago. In order to win the champion
ship it was necessary that they should
get three of these. They looked on
victory as foregone conclusion, and
they had considerable reason to feel
that way. for they had won nine of
the IL games they had played with us
that season. They missed their guess
by a large majority. We won three
straight games from them and that
cinched the pennant for us.
That third game-the one that made
US champions again-was one Of the
most interesting to me that l have
ever had a hand In. Even to this day
every play that was made is as fresh
In my memory as II 1t were but yester-
day. Before going out to the grounds
I got the boys together and talked to
them like Dutch uncle. l reminded
OF how much depended on their work
that afternoon and cautioned them
against trusting to the last chance, the
