Crosby had just finished a piece of music, -that
lay alongside him, and which was described as
the unfortunate's "swan song." Under such dis-
tressing circumstances one's family will pray to
be delivered from the distressing liars of the
daily newspapers.
When the Amicitia Amateur Band of New
York were guests of the Crescent Athletic Club,
of Brooklyn, N. Y., last Saturday evening, in
addition to a dozen numbers formally pro-
gramed, each selection was vociferously encored,
in many instances, four or five times. Popular
airs were invariably played to these hearty tok-
ens of appreciation, and the decided and vocifer-
ous hit of the evening was "The Whistler and His
Dog," published by Carl Fischer. Not a few in
the large audience assembled in the club's gym,
spoke of the piece as the legitimate successor of
the famous "Hiawatha" in point of melodious
construction and novel tempo. The Amicitia
band is sixty strong, in brass exclusively, and
is unique as an organization in being composed
solely of wealthy business men of New York,
the tenor drum being handled by a member of
one of the oldest brewing families in the city,
and they give performances only for the pleas-
ure of their social friends and themselves.
"Fascinating Flora" is the title chosen for the
new spring and summer musical comedy for the
Casino Theatre, New York. This piece will be
seen for the first time at the Hyperion Theatre,
New Haven, Conn., on May 15, and will come to
the Casino a few days later. The book and lyr-
ics are written by Joseph W. Herbert and the
music is from the pen of Gustave Kerker. The
play, which is being staged by R. H. Burnside,
is in two acts. Adele Ritchie will appear in the
title role.

"Four Musketeers" are creating a great sensa-
tion in their act. "Carissima" and "Cupid is the
Captain of the Army," are going finely, but their
piece de resistance is "Those Songs My Mother
Used to Sing."
This song, as given by Miss Kent, is worth
going a long way to hear, and she wins hosts
of admirers every time she sings it. It is, in the

LATEST RULING ON THE COPYRIGHT LAW.
Replying to an inquiry for the latest ruling of
the United States courts on the present copy-
right, it may be broadly summed up as follows:
A publisher of music sued in New York City a
company
manufacturing
perforated
records
wherewith compositions were reproduced on au-
tomatic instruments. The United States Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, held that
there was no infringement of copyright. The
court decided that copyright law, being a crea-
ture of statute, must be strictly construed and
that the perforated record was not a "copy" of
the musical notation, but stood in the same class
with the talking machine record and barrel or-
gan roll.
This is the celebrated case of the White-Smith
Music Publishing Co. against the Apollo Co., and
is now on appeal in the United States Supreme
Court. It will probably reach a hearing some
time this fall.
ELEANOR KENT IN A "MOTHER" SONG.
Eleanor Kent has been scintillating all season
in the company of "The Parisian Model," but
recently audiences with whom she is a special
favorite have looked in vain for her bright
vivacious self. Miss Kent is such a delightful
entertainer that all through the year she has
been besieged with offers to go into vaudeville.
