THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
heartily into the spirit of the excursion, its inci-
dents and pleasures. The latter included many
dances, and, the night before we landed, all
joined in a jolly 'donkey party.'
"Where did we go? Our first stop after leaving
New York on January 15 was Kingston, Jamaica,
where a ball—or Cinderella' as they call it down
there—was given at the Constant Spring Hotel
in honor of our officers and passengers. It was
very interesting to watch the boys diving for
pennies in Kingston harbor, and to see the mar-
ket women walk from nineteen to twenty-five
miles to sell their fruit and vegetables, and then
trudge home again. After this we went on to the
ill-fated town of St. Pierre, Martinique, where we
picked up many relics of the eruption of Mount
Pelee. From there we visited the Fort of France,
the new capital of Martinique, then to St. Thomas
and Porto Rico. At Santiago de Cuba we followed
Roosevelt's course up San Juan Hill, where we
found many mementoes of the Spanish-American
war. About every one on board had a camera
and snap-shotting was going on all the time.
There must have been about a million photo-
graphs taken on that trip. The company ar-
ranged the various excursions which we made,
and our lightest wants were all carefully antici-
pated.
rises, sunsets, moonlit nights and sunlit days.
Everywhere in the West Indies some agreeable
sight, sound or odor greets the eye, ear, or nos-
trils at every turn—the rare birds with their
gorgeous plumage, the sweet music of mandolins,
guitars and flutes played by native musicians, the
perfume of exquisite flowers.
"I made a host of good friends among those
on board, and so delightful and successful was the
trip that we formed the 'P. V. L. Club,' named
for the vessel, to perpetuate the friendships thus
formed. The members of the club did me the
honor to make me their president. We will meet
annually hereafter, and have a dinner. It will
be delightful to meet them all again, including
the captain and his officers and Mr. Schmolk, the
representative on board of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can Line—princes of good fellows, every one!
"But I'm glad I'm home again, just the same!"
A SUCCESFUL COMIC OPERA.
'The Rose of the Alhambra," a romantic comic
opera of unusual musical merit, has played to
paying business since its first production. A two
weeks' run is now on at the Chestnut Street
"In Santiago harbor we saw where Hobson
sunk the 'Merrimac.' We also viewed the
beached wrecks of some of the Spanish war fleet,
and at Havana took snap-shots of the wreck of
the 'Maine.'
The cigar factories of Havana
interested me greatly, as had the sugar mills of
Porto Rico.
"From Havana we came straight on back to
dear old New York. The trip was most delight-
ful—not a single unpleasant incident occurred to
mar the pleasure of any of the passengers. The
scenery is most exquisite. Never have I, in my
most vivid dreams, imagined anything so won-
derfully beautiful, so absolutely enchanting as the
landscapes with their miles and miles of palms

A novel vaudeville offering was given this week

Finally English publishers have succeeded for
the first time in securing the conviction and pun-
ishment of a bunch of notorious music pirates
in London, and with them the printer was pun-
ished also. In the Central Criminal Court re-
cently, James F. Willetts, who enjoyed the ques-
tionable distinction of "king of the pirates," a
title he rather plumed himself upon, was sen-
tenced to nine months' imprisonment; William
Tennant, two months; John Puddefoot, one
month; William Ross, fined $250 and to stand
committed until paid; George Wooten and Philip
Bodsenham were placed under a bond of $250
each, and judgment suspended. These convictions
have already had a wholesome effect, and piracy
