annual concert be given directly under the
auspices of the Guild, and a special concert
committee was appointed which will decide
when and where it will be held. This com-
mittee consists of C. L. Partee, W. J. Kitch-
ener, D. E. Hartnett, of New York, and A. J.
Weidt, of Newark, N. J. Several meetings
of this committee will be held before January.
The officials elected for the ensuing two
years were: W. J. Kitchener, president; C.
L. Partee, secretary and treasurer. Execu-
tive Committee: W. J. Kitchener, Samuel Sie-
gel, George L. Lansing, H. F. Odell, Boston;
D. E. Hartnett, New York; A. J. Weidt,
Newark, N. J. Manufacturers elected active
members follow: M. Witmark & Son, New
York; Walter Jacobs, Vega Co. and Fair-
banks Co., Boston, Mass.; C. F. Martin, Naz-
areth, Pa. Mr. Partee was formally and
warmly thanked for his enterprise displayed
in the concert management.
It is probable the fourth annual convention
will be held at St. Louis, Mo., invitations to
that end having been received from the Inter-
national Exposition and city officials. Detroit
and Buffalo also filed applications for the
same honor. The meeting will be arranged
at an earlier date, possibly in November.
