The active campaign for the coming May
Festival will be begun this week with the
issuing of the pros pec tin, from the proof
sheets of which the following paragraphs
are u-icn:
In announanc the May mnsic festival for
l&U. the undersigned feels that neltheriexplan
ation nor introduction is needed. The artrtlo
success of that Riven in 18S9 is proof that Pltts
lurs is only too willing to give its countenance
toward an; movement calculated to raise the
standard of the divine art in Western Pennsyl
vania. It the series of concerts in the Exposi
tion Uuildloc in 1SS9 were Eiven under favora
able auspices, it is bate to say that tney are very
ruucu more so tnis year. Not only will the
conceits take place in a more convenient build
in;:, with the createt artists that the world
can produce, and with every accessory for the
comiurt of those attending, but the list of
patroneS3s, herewith published, gives assur
ance or sympathy and support most
jrratityincto the projector, as well as to ail
lovers ot inuc in its highest aspect. The
educational influence of music festivals is too
ne'1 understood to need comment. Suffice
it to saj that the arracements for the forth
coming concerts are made with direct reference
to the greatest good to the greatest number,
comprising all classes. 1 he ilusic Festival ol
.Ma, 1S91, should be the most notable arustlo
and' tocial event Pittsburg has ever seen, and
in view of the earnestness with which the cul
ture and wealth ol the city have taken up the
matter, there is no doubt but that it will be.
Caul Retteb.
The prospectus, of course, gives a variety
of details the dates of the seven concerts,
May 12 to 16, inclusive; the fitting up for
the occasion ot Mechanic Hall, which
is certainly better suited for the
purpose than the main Exposition
buildms used in 1SS9; the semi-circle
of 100 private boxes holding -x seats each,
snd the prices and manner ol subscription
or sale of these and of the parquet and bal
cony seats all of which matters have been
committed to the very capable hands of Mr.
George U Jcnks, the newly constituted busi
ness manager of the festival. One page is
devoted to the list of over 100 patronesses,
originally published in THE DISrATCH
some months ago, and which includes the
very cream ot womankind iu this com
munity. And finally there is given the
following complete enumeration of the
Festival forces:

A Very Successful Concert.
The concert (or the benefit of the Pennsyl
vania State Music Teachers' Association,
given at Carnegie Hall last Tuesday even
ing, must be set down as a success in all
respects, though it might and should have
been made still more of a success in its
financial jjrspcct. "While all returns from
ticket sales are not yet in, it ia safely esti
1 mated that the net profits ts go to the asso
ciation wili be a trifle over $200.
This is considerably more than the usual
profit from miscellaneous concerts in this
citv. especially when an expensive foreign
soloist is engaged. That amount of profit,
moreover, means the payment of more than
one-half of the debt which hung
oTcr. and menaced the future of
the association. And the moral effect of a
debt increases or decreases in a geometrical
rather than a simple arithmetical ratio to its
uinfluut. The remaining deb: of $200 betokens
a condition much more than twice as hopeful
as the condition that existed tinder the debt of
Sine.
Tcere is, therefore, considerable reason for
congratulation upon even the financial result
of the concert, and every reason for thanking
the managers and others whose earnest labors
brought about this result.
At the s&mp time, in view of the larger op
portunities which failed of realization, in view
of the undoub ed fact that, if all who ought to
natebelpcd had done so. the net profit could
readilT have been made 5600 to $800 this result
15 sotnewrat disappointing to those who main
tain a hopeful attitude as to the general inter
rst awakening in oar community toward the
P. S. M. T A. and its objects. Clearly
there is need nf further earnest mission
ary w nrc on behalf of the association in order
to aseure the hearty co-operation of th people
In making a success of the meeting to be held
here next December. Perhaps as mnch has
been gained as cnuld fairly be expected of the
occasion on which tho association is lor the first
time brought right home to our doors. Still,
ono would have thought that in the local musi
cal columns, which surely ought to be fonnd
alwavs In the advance line, an ardent and un
divided support would be given to such a move
ment lor the common good. At any rate it is
pood, at tho earliest stage of the Campaign, to
have such a straw vote to indicate the lines
where work s most needed for the future.
From all accounts the concert was exceed
insly successful from an artistic point ot view.
All the performers, except Miss DoVsre
(h hose performance has several times been re
viewed in this department), havlngvolnnteered
their services for the occasion, they were
manifestly not the subjects of serious
criticism. It may with propriety be stated,
however, that the audience which was of ex
ceptional musical quality showed constantly
through tho programme the pleasure given
them by the efforts or the artists, who were

THE Verein Frohstnn, Pittsburg's crack
male chorus, will give on March 19, at Old
City Hall, its first public concert tor a number
of years. Mr. Carl Ahl, the new conductor,
has Ihfdsed new life and energy into the
Frohslnn, which Is now about 33 years
old. The male chorus numbers about two
score Singers and the new feminine contingent
furnisbe mates for all but a half dozen of
them. ' This force will interpret Ed Hitler's
cantata, "velbr von Weinsberg." at the com
imr concert, when an orchestra of 82 players
will give Beethiven's "Egmont" overture, and
solo numbers from Miss Aenes Vogel, Mr. Leo
Oehmler. Mr. Joseph A. Vogel. Mr. KStaub
and Mr Carl Ahl will also be heard.
MAXAdEK E. D. Wilt, of the" Grand, has
some thonght of arranging for a couple of
weeks ot opera and operatic concerts by the
Emma Jnch Opera Company, at the close of the
regular season. Mr. Wilt protests his strong be
lief in Manager Charles E. Locke's willingness
and ultimate ability to pay everythlne be owes,
and proves that belief bv his readiness to help
Mr. Locke to refund from Pittsburg.' pocket
book the loan obtained from Mr. Wilt last fall.
The arrangement would be an excellent one for
both gentlemen, as well as for the Pittsburg
public which gets no chance of snendingtnoner
for other opera as good as that furnished by
Miss Juch ana her troupe.
Me. WrxuAM WolSeifter, ex-President
Of the P. S.M.T.A., adds his voice to the general
lamentation of Philadelphia's musicians over
the state of things there. One sentence in
Mr. Wolselffer's letter, printed in last
week's Afuuc and Drama, reads thus: -'Daring
my official duties 1 have had many
opportunities of observing the musical con
ditions of New York. Boston, Pittsburg, Balti
more, Chicago, Br. Louis, Cincinnati and other
cttiei. and I need not tell you how palntnl it
was to me. When I contrasted tbim with our
own conditions." This comparison is consoling
to Pittsburg, as far as it goes; bnt we must pay
off all that debt and make the December meet
ing a grand success, before crowing too much.
A KOTATii.fi private musicals was that given
last Monday afternoon by Mrs. Theodore Hare
tneyer, ot New York, who bad engaged the full
Boston Symphony Orchestra, With Conductor
Nikltch, to play a programme ot her own
choosing. What with their Metropolitan
Opera box subscriptions, their new music
hall for the Oratorio Society, their S50.001 an
nual guarantee for Walter Damrosoh' new
orchestra, their fashionable Seldl and Kreh
biel cults, their afternoon's home coaching on
the themes of the evening's opera and their
private musicales with famous soloists and
complete symphony Orchestras why, really,
the gilded aristocracy of Gotham seem to be
getting very musical. If not discriminating
withaL
TBS Buffalo Musical Association, which is
composed of some ot its leading citizens, who
are Interested in the advancement of the
divine art, and under whose auspices several
very successful festivals hare been given in the
past few years, have about completed arrange

chorus of 400 voices are rehearsing weekly
under the direction of Mr. John Lund. Two of
the works to be presented are Massenet's
"Eve" and J. Krng Waldsee's "King Rother."
That matchless organization, the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, with Mr. Nicksch as conduc
tor, will accompany the chorus and will also be
heard In concert. The soloists already engaged
are Clementina DeVere and Mary Howe, so
pranos, and W.H.Riegor, tenor, while nego
tiations are pending with some Of the leading
artists of Europe
Tex second concert of the Manuscript Soci
ety was given in New York Wednesday even
ing the 4th Inst.." when the following composi
tions were heard; Jobann H. peck, of Cleve

The programmes for this occasion
were the most tasteful imaginable. Tbey were
printed on sheets of heavy manllla paper, oiled
up and tied with red tape and the manu cript
idea was further carried out by giving in fac
simile a few bars of each MS, competition
with the composer's autograph.
Tee United States Marine Band (John Phil
lip Sousa, Conductor), the name ot W.Mch is
well known in connection with all marnerot
official and social functions at the national cap
ital and which Pittsburg has alreadv heard with
pleasure, has secured leave of absence for a
concert tourthis spring, underthe management
of Mr. Daniel Blakely. of Strauss and Gtlmore
fame. Pittsburg will be one of the 28 cities to
be visited, the data here falling some time in
April. The Marine Band is now GO members
strong; it has existed as an organization about
100 years. Director Sousa is reported as say
ing, apropos of this tour: "All our pro
grammes will contain selections from the
national airs. Aside from the fact that
the national band ought to play the national
music it is a standing order of Secretary
Tracy's that one or more of the national airs be
on every programme. Of conrse our pro
grammes will range from symphonies and
Wagner overtures to the musio which is ordi
narily classed as "popular.' In fact we Shall re
produce the programmes made Up lot official
r eceptlons of the President."

States, and the news thatithas been effected
is likely to be received in "Washington be
fore the end of February. The proposed
treaty has been under consideration in

that shall be advantageous to the country,
