Ysaye's Lost "Strad.D

OF fiddles lost, stolen or strayed the
most notable instance within recent
times is the disappearance of the VIC
lin belonging to the great player Ysaye.
1t was a Stradivariuss made In 1882,
and one of the violins shown in the
loan collection of musical instruments
at South Kensington in 1856. 1t was
the practice Of Ysaye, as Of every other
great player, to carry with him two
violins, so that in case of accident he
might have one to fall back upon.
The stolen one was left unattended in
the artists room below the orchestra.
1t vanished, and in consequence of the
hue and cry that resulted the instru-
ment has never come to light again.
Nor can the possessor OF such a violin
bring 1t to light while the present gen
Grafton of experts is alive, for infalli-
bly, it would be recognized.-St James
