THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
IN THE riAGAZINE WORLD.
Mr. Cable continues the Editor's Sym-
posium in his usual happy vein in the June
number of Current Literature. One of
the conspicuous changes in the magazine
under the new editorial management is the
illustrations of special personal articles and
regular departments devoted to personal
mention with portraits of the writers or
celebrities mentioned in the text. All the
regular departments of the magazine, po-
etry and prose, are of the usual high grade
of excellence.
For significance, variety and interest of
matter, and beauty of illustration, there
rarely issues a magazine equal to the June
number of McClure's. Professor Langley's
illustrated account of his ten years of hard
study and experiment in the construction
of flying-machines, the series of life por-
traits of Queen Victoria made pertinent by
the sixtieth anniversary of her reign, are
only two of a number of timely and attrac-
tive features.
The June Ladies' Home Journal presents
an infinite variety of strikingly interesting,
timely and practical features. It opens
with an article by William George Jordan
on "What Victoria Has Seen," which
graphically recounts the progress of the
world in the past sixty years, since the
coronation of the English vSovereign. Com-
ing on the eve of the Queen's Jubilee it is
especially timely. A song, "Wake Up!
Cupid," by Willard Spenser, author of "The
Princess Bonnie," "The Little Tycoon,"
etc., will be welcomed by every lover of
music.
" As Any Gentleman Might " is the title
of the complete story in the current issue
of Lippincott's. William T. Nichols, the
well-known and popular writer, is the
author. There are thirteen other contri-
butions of special articles and poetry of a
high order of merit. The magazine from
cover to cover is a rare treat. Lippincott's
maintains its place at the head of the home
magazines.
The Literary Digest is a welcome visitor
to our desk. Week after week it furnishes
a choice menu of all the most important
topics in the worlds of art, letters, science
and politics, in fact it is truly a compen-
dium of the contemporaneous thought of
the world.
The current issue of the Cosmopolitan
is not only beautiful from a typographical
standpoint, but its contents are as usual
varied and valuable. It contains special
articles, poems and short stories by writers
whose names are a guarantee of their ex-
cellence. This magazine throughly merits
its popularity.
Current events of the first importance
at home and abroad are treated of exhaus-
tively and impartially each month in The
Review of Reviews, while there are in
addition always a number of special con-
tributions by distinguished writers. This
magazine is well worthy the hearty support
of the reading public.
O
Victor Herbert, the noted composer and
'cellist, is arranging some old Irish music
for the celebration of the thirteenth cent-
ury of St. Columnbkille, which takes place
at Chickering Hall to-morrow evening.
Mr. Herbert is a grandson of the Irish
novelist and song writer, Samuel Lover.
The Misses Sutro, the distinguished en-
semble pianists, recently returned to Lon-
don after a stay of two months in Paris,
where they gave a number of successful re-
citals. Paris, of all continental cities, is
the one to do homage to artists. The Misses
Sutro made their reappearance in London
last Monday, May 31, under the direction
of Mr. N. Vert.
At a recent concert in London the pro-
gram included a symphony by the Rus-
sian composer Arensky, which, though
written ten years before Tchaikovsky's
Pathetic Symphony, also bears the title of
" Pathetic," and has a movement in the
rare 5-4 time.
The National Saengerfest, which will
be held in Philadelphia during the week of
June 21, bids fair to be the greatest musi-
cal event held in that city since the days of
the Centennial Exposition. The programs
are of unusual atractiveness; leading socie-
ties from all parts of the country and dis-
tin'guished soloists will participate.
These well known artists will spend the
season of 1897 and '98 in America touring
under the management of Henry Wolfsohn.
O
Sir Arthur Sullivan has promised that if
he can discover a promising subject he will
write for a Leeds festival a choral work of
about the same dimensions as "The Gold-
en Legend."
Government returns lately issued show
that upwards of $1,030,000 was last year
given in grants for music to 4,250,000
pupils in elementary state-aided schools in
England alone, Scotland and Ireland being
left out of count.
The two little Misses Silberfeld—Bessie,
aged twelve, and Mamie, aged seven—gave
a concert at Chamber Music Hall on the
evening of May 12. The youthful pianists
exhibited their very precocious talents in a
satisfactory manner.
At the annual meeting of the Manuscript
Society, held recently, Mr. Reginald De
Koven was elected president to succeed
Mr. Gerrit Smith.
The pupils of M. J. Scherhey gave a con-
cert at Chickering Hall on May 24.
