Prize OPERA CONTEST
time LIMIT EXTENDED
Contestants Have Until October to
Enter Hinshaw Competition.

In accordance with many requests from
composers that the time set for the sub
mittfng of opera scores in the 81 600 Hin
shaw prize competition be extended from
the original date, April 1. 1917, William
wade Hinshaw, the noted American
oarytone and donor OF the prize, has de-
clded to grant competitors until October
l, 1917. in which to submit their scores.
Contestants will welcome the opportunity
OF the summer months in which to finish
their work, most of them being fully oc-
cupied during the winter with their reg
ular yocations.
The judges will be David Bispham. the
barytons; Victor Herbert, the composer;
Nine Louise Homer. the Metropolitan
contralto; Giorgio Polacco. conductor of
the Metropolitan Opera Company, and
Walter Henry Rothwell. the orchestral
conductor.
Mr.. Hinshaw has decided to make slight
changes in the rules governing the COM
petition, but in the essentials the original
conditions remain. Mr.. Hinshaw some
months ago announced a prize OF 81 900
and a royalty for the best opera written
without chorus. for a cast of not more
than fifteen principals and an orchestra
OF not more than twenty-five. Mr.. Hin
shaw agreed to produce the winning opera
within one year from the time of award
ing the prize. with the likelihood also of
producing such other operas as might be
deemed worthy of a hearing.
