Success of a rittstarer in Munich, and Musical Gos
sip of General Interest
Xot much need be added in the way of
review of the May Festival to wliat has al
ready appeared in the columns of The Dis
patch. This occasion will go down into
local history, as a companion piece to the
Festival of 1889. Both were brave attempts
by Mr. Eettcr to do the best he could tinder
existing circumstances, attempts for -which
"be deserves the heartiest thanks of the
musical community, especially in view of
the unfortunate financial results in each
case.
This time the soloists to begin with the
least important department w ere not quite
up to the standard set before. There was
no such artist this year as Lilli Lchmann,
and others of the solo personnel fell below
those heard before. This, however, was
nobody's fault; the best artists in the coun
try were here, and they were altogether
adequate to the work in hand, at
any rate. This deficiency, such
as it was, was much more
than made up by the greater
efficiency of the orchestra, a much more im
portant element in the festival. Instead of
l)eing,aa beforc,a mixed body of players from
various sources, it was practically the same
orchestra that Mr. Seidl has constantly
had in hand at the Metropolitan Opera
Hone and the Brighton Beach and other
concerts for the past two years. This made
a considerable improvement in the finish
and finesse of all the orchestral work, al
though a lanrcr number of strings would
hat e been a further advantage. Mr. Seidl
himself is a better conductor for general con
cert work than before, and altogetherthe or
chestral end of the festival Mas highly satis
factory. The chorus, of course, was not. And this
through no fault of Mr. Better and bis
singers. Except in the "Gypsy Life,"
they did just about all that could be asked
under the circumstances; and in many points
much surpassed all justifiable expectations.
But the fidelity and zeal of an
attempt may be cordially commended,
and yet the attempt be recorded
unsuccessful, as in this case. Not only was
it absolutely impossible to preparethegrcat
works that should figure prominently
in everj" genuine festival scheme,
but the necessarily hasty formation
of the chorus admitted much
"dead wood" and the exceedingly short re
hearsal period gave no time for needed
practice in singing as such, every minute
bein needed to learn the pieces in hand.
Beally artistic results are simply
out of the question under these
conditions. The choral work should be the
chief element in a true festival, and we will
never ha e an event worthy of that name
in its higher sense until we have a per
manent, carefully chosen body of singers
and an abundance of time for rehearsal.
However, leaving aside the ideal festival
standards, we did have a series of impos
ing miscellaneous concerts which interested,
delighted and benefited thousands of peo
ple, who seldom have such an opportunity.
That fact is clear, in spite of
all criticism of this or that de
tail; and that is much to be
ttunkfiU for, a genuine help to the cause of
music in our community. Aside from the
unavoidable absence of great choral works,
the programmes were very skillfully and
wisely compiled, much better than
those of 188!). There was more
legitimate concert music, fewer frag
ments from the musicc-dramatic stage;
the golden mean between "popularity" and
pedantry was very happily maintained.
The earnest and public-spirited labors of
Mr. Better and Mr. Jenks richly deserved a
financial return, where, Unfortunately, they
are confronted with a loss bf nearly, if not
quite, 3,000. The figures are not all in,
but, as nearly as could yesterday be
ascertained, the principal" items of
expense were as follow s: Hall (including
SS00 rent). 54,153 lo: soloists and conductor,
So.SOO, orchestra, $1,331; railroad fares,
ft,07fi 50- choru? expenses (exclusive of
printim.), 81,36.! 94, advertising, 1,832 15.
With the othti-item-, the total expense foots
up -within a hundred or two of ?20,000.
Trie total receipts, as far as known, -were
?1G,34G 35, Mith between 5300 and 5400 still
to come. This leaves the 53,000 deficit, and
nnt a penny for all the work done by Mr.
Better and3Ir. .Tenks. Indeed, Mr. Better is
still the Festival's creditor for 5200 advanced
out of his pocket for early expenses, besides
5200 more that he turned in. during the past
week from his share of the profit from the
Gilmore concerts.
It is deemed possible that the Exposition
SoeicU mav voluntarily return some of the
f,SO0 rent. paid. But the bulk of the loss
will hai e to be met in some way. The lady
patronesses are now considering ways an'd
means and will probably formulate a plan
during the wee Success to them.
Tn o Xames That Draw Well.
The only Gilmore, withhis bonny band, his
assorted Mjloists and our own Festival Chorus,
drew a tremendous audience to Mechanical
Hall Wednesday ev ening, besides a goodly
number including many school children at
a dime apiece on the same afternoon. An
extended review of the performance is
hardly necessary, after all that has gone be
fore. Mr. Gilmore himself and the work
he gets out of his excellent military
oana are too laminar lor iurtner
comment thougli it would have been
fun to hate heard and to describe
how the "Krcutzer" sonata sounded from a
bra-s band! The Festival Chorus has lately
had quite as much critical attention as it
wants, and most Of the soloists Mr. Italo
Campanini, Mrs. Ida Euler-Klein, Mrs.
Louisa Natali, Miss Anna C. Mantell, Miss
Maud Powell, Mr. Suigaroli, Mr. Sartori
and Mr. W. S. Wceden are already well
known in Pittsburg.
One significant point in this connection is
the large attendance called out, without
much advertising, by the familiar names of
Gilmore and Campanini. Nothing, it is
clear, can equal the popular drawing power
of familiar, famous names. The people can
be relied on to turn out to hear pcrtormers
whose fame lias long been a household
word.
Of -till greater significance is it, that,
when the people turn out ill this expectant
spirit, they do really enjoy the performance,
it it beat all calculated to give enjoyment. A
receptive attitude on the part of the au
dience means much more than half the
battle to composer and performer. It is a
tafe wager that the half dozen compositions
on Gilmore's programmes which had been
heard in the Festival of the previous week
pave more enjoyment to more people on the
latter than on the former Occasion. And
tlii" although the latter performance of
tlics Irgh-clats pieces was no doubt in

provide. No tne feared lhat' the musio
would be too "classical."-r in any manner

tle'd all doubts and qualms. Consequently,
the very same really classical compositions
-which had been more or less favorably re
ceived at the Festival were enthusiastically
accepted at the Gilmbre concerts, though
less well performed.
There is a vital lesson here. "The peoples

Sjbyl Sanderson's Teacher Criticised.
Bast night's London cables to "The Dis
patch include the following musical frag
ments:
At the Eoyal Italian Opera this week, the
success scored by Van Dyck, the new tenor
from the Vienna Opera House, in the part
of Da Gricux on Massenet's opera, "Manon,
which was produced for the first time in this
country in French on Tuesday, evening, and
the triumph won by Mile. Mravina, a new
comer from the St. Petersburg Opera House,
as JTarglicnla in the "Hugenots," presented
on Wednesday night, have rather detracted
from the attention bestowed upon Miss
Sybyl Sanderson, the American artiste, who
was the Marum in the opera first referred
.to. Miss Sanderson had previously
played Jiinon with much success in Brus
sels, and probably from this fact too much
was expected of the young American. On
the morning following the first performance
of "M.iuon."at Covent Garden, the' critics
were found to have come to the conclusion
that Miss Sanderson had hardly realized ex
pectations, thougli she was warmly received
on account of her clever and vivaciousact
ing. In spite of the cordial receptiongiven
to Miss Sanderson, it can't be denied that
the thinness of 'her voice has been so
noticed tliat it has caused a discussion as to
the methods of her teacher, Marchesi, whose
other pupils are said to have been
weighed down with a similar
vocal thinness, and doubts are ex
pressed as to the utility of sacrificing
the power and beauty of the voice to obtain
extreme range. The fact is, however, that
Massenet's work is too light for such a
large house as Covent Garden.
Edwin Isham, the American baritone,
made his debut in a concert here on Thurs
day with considerable success. Another
American artist, David Bishpham, who has
already been heard in Tennyson's songs,
will probably play the part of the DiiU in
"La Basoche" at the Boyal English Opera
House.
Mrs. Pemberton-Hincks, of New Orleans,
La., yesterday afternoon gave great enjoy
ment to a party of distinguished guests at a
concert git en at the residence of Lady Dud
lev. Mrs. Pemberton-Hincks .sane several
Creole songs, and a duet with Maurel, the
baritone. Among 'those who were present
upon this occasion were the Princess of
Wales and. the Duchess of Manchester.
Mme. Marguerite de Paehmann, the
pianiste, has accepted an engagement for an
extensive tour of the United States next
season. "She is the wife of Vladimir de
Paehmann, the'famous Chopin player, -who
has been concertizing through the States
lately.
The Success of a Pittsburger.
Mr. Frank E.' Saddler, of Pittsburg, is
meeting with a distinguished success in
Munich as an orchestral composer and con
ductor. His "Ehantasie Stueck," in which
the muted string quartette is sharply con
trasted with the full orchestra, has several
times been conducted by the young com
poser with great success, since the first per
ionnance already noted in these columns.
One result has -been a commission given
Mr. ' Saddler to write a six-voiced compo
sition for 12 horns the old style instru
ments, without valves to be performed be
fore the "Allotria," Munich's famous artis
tic club.
Yet greater popularity has been won by
an orchestral pot-pourri of American melo
dies a fully scored piece of 15 minutes'
length, including various national and negro
tunes and winding up with the "Star Span
gled Banner." It was first given at one of
Fach's concerts last month, Mr. Saddler
conducting the orchestra, which was that of
the King's First Infantry Bcgiment, re
puted the most efficient in Munich outside
of the Boyal Theater. The young Pitts
burger's orchestration of this homely ma
terial wpn repeated recalls, compelling a
repetition. The work has since been fre
quently git en with like results, and a lib
eral ofier for its publication accepted by
Mr. Saddler.

Amokq tho big musical schemes already
brewing for the'quadri-centennial season,
one of tho biggest emanates from tho busy
brain of Manager Dat id Blakcly, of Gilmore,
Stranss and Marine Band fame.' He sailed
for Europe last week to engage a celebrated
conductor as an attraction for a projected
series of Columbus festivals to bo given In
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago
and other cities. Anton Seidl and Theodore
Thomas will also co-operate, It is said.
A consolidation has been arranged bev
t-w een the Boston Symphony Orchestra and
the Boston Singers' Society, a compact
choru -which, under Mr. George L. Osgood's
training, has attained an efficiency -w orfhy
of a partnership t ith the country's foremost
orchestra. Such a combination can achieve
gieat results and next year's symphony con
certs w ill be looked to with even greater in
terest than ever. The chorus willgive each
year at least one concert, however, devoted
to unaccompanied works of tho great mas
ters. With the dropping out of MisEmma Juch,
her opera company has beenrechristened as
tho "Metropolitan Opera Company," and
w ill be heard, under tho management of Mr.
JohnC. Xolan, in tho Columbus Theater,
Xew York, for a season of six weeks, begin
ning to-morrow. In the company aro Misses
Gcorgino von Januschowsky, Carlotta Ma
condaand Louise Meisslinger, and Messrs,
Witt. Mr. Adolnli Nenendorff is the musical
director and Mr. Will Parry stage manager.
The incidental music which added consid
erably to the effect of Miss Fanny Daven
port's "Cleopatra" last week, Is stated in
the programmes to be by M. Xavler Lcroux
and W. AY. Turst, tho latter being the
musical director of tls company. Does any
one remember distinctly the incidental
music of the melodrama evolved from Mr.
Itider Haggard's weird not el, "She," as pro
duced here last season with Mr. Furst at the
conductor's stand? The ninslft was by no
means the least evident point of similarity
in the performances centering about those
two remarkable Egyptian lemales. They
ought to call "Cleopatra," too, a melodrama
or, at least, a "a tempest in a teapot"
tragedy.
Mr. Geokge Stewabt's enterprising chain
of music festivals, already noted in this col
umn, has been progressing finely.. Tho or

conducted some of his own music,
the concerts being tho only ones
in which he participated outside
of New York. Last -week this
combinationvrlth the Arion Club, of Provi
dence, Mass.'Mr. Jules Jordan, conductor)
gave a three days' festival, in which, of, the
lour concert, two were devoted to complete
choral works in the larger form, namely:
Beilloz's "Damnation of Fanst" and Men
delssohn's "Elijah," while one of the mis
cellaneous concerts included Uracil's "Fair
Elle:i.r a clioniH from the same composer's
"Anii'nin-" and tioimodV "Gallia.' Mr.
Krvhbiel write- to the Tribune a hearty com
mendation of the singing of this chorus of

to be thus outclassed by the New England
towns?

Chicago .Manufacturers Evidently
-Expect a Big Advance. .
A BROKER'S OPINION ABOUT IT.
Some Recent Purchases That Seem to Have
Great Significance.
DEMAND FOB THE SOUTHERN PRODUCT.
CSrXCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
Chicago, May 23. During the past two
or three weeks the big iron manufacturers
of Chicago have been heavy buyers of pig
iron. The McCormick Harvester "Works
bought 8,000 tons in a single lot a few days
ago and as much more in smaller quantities.
The Deering Harvesting Machine "Works
has within the same time bought about
15,000 tons.
The syndicate which controls and operates
malleable iron works in Chicago, Indianap
olis, Cleveland and other points East has
purchased not less than 40,000 tons of Lake
Superior charcoal iron, at prices, it is said,
ranging from 516 50 to 517 50 per ton; the
prevailing prices in the open market for
this same grade of goods are from 517 50 to
518. nrge numbers of smaller establish
ments have also been heavy buyers, some
of them having contracted for enough pig
iron to last them more than a year.
Taking Time by the Forelock.
A notable fact in connection with this
buying is that it is being done more than a
month before the time when manufacturers
usually lay in their supply. Evidently
there is a general and widespread belief
among a class of people who ought to know,
that prices have reached their lowest ebb
and that the market is about to stiffen.
The opinions of brokers as to whether the
facts juhtify any such apprehension vary.
Mr. "W. "W. Backman, a well-known broker,
who has recently been appointed agent of
the Iroquois Furnace Company, in which
Hay "Walker and Cashier Given, of the
Tanners' Bank of Pittsburg, are largely in
terested, is of the opinion that, notwith
standing the heavy buying, prices will not
advance to any considerable degree. "There
has been a stiffening of about 50 cents
a ton in consequence of these purchases
which take certain furnaces out oi the mar
ket and absorb their product for 6ome
months ahead," said he, "but I do not
know of any reason for believing that prices
will very materially advance in the near
future. I think they have reached as low a
point as they will reach; there is no pros
pect of their going any low er.
Reason for the Opinion.
"My reason for thinking so is that the
iron business in general is dull. It is very
significant to me when I see so many of
these big establishments shutting down or
running with only half their force. And,
besides, I think there is no likelihood of an
advance in railroad rates. The prevailing
prices in this.market just now are $15 50 for
No. 1 foundry, 515 for No. 3 and 514 50 for
No. 3."
The Iroquois people have opened an office
in the Kookery, under the management of
a Francis Eagle, formerly of Youngstown,
O. If the coke strike permits they will go
into blast about July 1, and, with a capacity
of 175 tons per day, they may exert a de
cided influence on the market
Southern pig iron continues to pour into
the Chicago market, about the same propor
tion being taken as noted in a previous tele
gram to THE Dispatch about one-third
of the entire amount consumed. In the
large purchaesnoted about that proportion of
Southern iron was taken, to be used in com
bination with Northern irons.
