THE SAENGERFEST.. The official program of the ‘“ Twenty-sec- ond Grand Festival of the North American Sangerbund,” to be held in this city trom June 29 to July 3, inclusive, has been issued in book-form, and apart from its value as a musical guide during the Fest, the Press Committee are entitled to the credit of hav- ing published the most complete and the most beautiful program book that has yet appeared in this country. In paper, press- work, typography, engravings, and general arrangement, and in the good taste of its ornamental covers, it is a souvenir which many will be glad to preserve. The covers arein black and white, ou a gray ground, the front containing the announcement of the Fest, bordered with flowers, and the back a lyre across 2 handsome cut of the Exposition Building. The musical part of the Dbovk, which is devoted to analyses of the principal works, with the accompanying text, both in German and English, has been prepared by Mr. C. E. R. Miiller, of the Miller Conservatory of Music in this city, a gentlenian who was amply qualified for his work, not only by his musical intelligence and experience, but by bis ripe scholarship. He has done his work excellently well, and in this direction the program book will bear cowparison with the work done in the books of the Cincinnati Festivals or:the Boston Handel and Haydn Society. The works which he has analyzed in detail are the symphonic poems, the “Preludes? and “Tasso” of Liszt; the “Odyssey ? and “Salamis ” of Bruch; the Second Symphony of Schumann; and the Ninth of Beethoven; and __ there -are short sketches of the “ Lohen- grin” Scena, the “Death of Drusus,” Tit!’s “Solomon's Consecration of the Tem- ple,” Abt’s ‘Magic Fountain,” Méhring’s “Prayer Before the Battle,” and Wagner's “Kaiser March.” In addition to these, the text is given of all the principal vocal num- bers. The musical analyses take up about one-half the book. The remainder contains brief biographical sketches of Mr. Balatka, the Fest Director, and all the solo artists; well executed portraits of Mme. Peschka- Leutner, Miss Cary, Mme. Donaldi, and s. <a, Candidus, Remmertz, and Messrs. Balatka, Candidus. pee Bands Whit 3a historical. skete! short sketches ‘of the Apollo Club and Bee ‘thoven Societies of this city, who take pal Bd eked Se ing af ae pet istorical sketch of the ori 1e Fest; a list of the various committees, fil- teen in number; and a roster of the various societies, fitty-two in number, who will be represented in the Festival. ‘The determination with which Mr, Balatka has devoted himself to the musical part of the Fest, and the equal determination with hh Mr. Schinidt, the jolly and herculean eretary, and his many committees have de- voted themselves to the business features, augur well for the success of the Festival. alatka has done a great deal for music Chica in years past, and now that he has an immense chorus and orchestra at his dis- posal, and that the, Fest is to be held in the city with which he has so long been identi- fied, he jias evidently entered upon his work with the resulution that some- thing. besides —sociaiity and Gemuetlich- it shall characterize it, For the t time in the history of these s, programs of real merit ha’ een pre- pared, containing something | besides part- songs, for the first time musical discipline has been enforced, and for the first time music has been given its proper place, above everything ‘else. That nothing shall inter- fere with the music, processions, which have been such a feature of past Fests, have been abandoned. Instead of having the speech-making, which is always tedious, come in one of the regular concerts, it has been set down for the afternoon preceding the first concert. So far as Mr. Balatka is concerned, he has done everyting in his power, and has worked like a Hercules to” bring ‘the performances up toa high stand- ard, and we have no doubt that they will excel anything (that has been heard heretofore in these Fests. Fortunately the soloists, who cannot be excelled, will take care of themselves, so that he has been jeft-free to concentrate his attention upon his chorus, and for the first time in the rec- ords of the Fests he has organ Festival Chorus, which will be the 1 of, the mass and dominate it. ‘This chorus, inde- pendent of any organization, though made up from several that take part, composed of picked singers and ting solely for the Festival work, gives assurance that we shall hear some good singing. In all the other departments of the business organization, headed by Mr. William L. Schmidt, who has shown himself to be eminently qualified for his position as Secretary by his indust! courtesy, and his executive ability, satisfactory progress has been made, and. the details of it have been printed from day. to day in Tne Tripune.. Everything therefore promis I for the success of the Fest, and in es that our American as well as German citizens have a gala week in store for them. ‘As we have not yet published a complete list of the soloists we now give them in full: mos: Mme.

Mrs, Jenny Kempton will close her present season with a pupils’ reception at the Meth- odist Church Block on Wednesday afternoon and evening next. Mrs. A. J. Bassett, Irene Llasbrouck, C. House, S. Cohen, the Misses Franks, Wentworth, Green, Von Elsner, Robertson, Brooks, and Waterman, and a Jadies’ chorus will take part in the afternoon reception; and Mrs, Lillian Newcomb, J. ‘T. slark, Earl De Moe, and Clifford Williams, and the Misses Witkowski, Sherburne, Scan nel, Pauline Romine! Cleystun, - Coffey, Dutton, Baker, and Butler in the ev ception, assisted by Mr. Prank Baird at the organ. The evening performance will close with Rossini’s “ Stabat Mater,” conducted by Carl Wolfsoln, in which Mrs. Kempton’s pupils will take the solos. The programs are of rare excellence, and that the performances will be successful is evident from the fact that many of the best singers in the city will take part. THE APPENDIX. TO “PINAFORE.” Manager Davis of the Grand Opera-Ilouse has arranged with the Lingards for the pro- duction in August next of a new operetta alled “The Wreck of Pinafore,” the music by Luscombe Searrell, an English composer. Briefly told, the “ Pinafore” makes a cruise before Josephine: wedding, runs on a reef, and is wrecked. Sir Joseph gatlantly rescues Joscphine, and she, disgusted with Ratph’s cowardice, marries the former. Buttercup admits that she told an untruth in her con- fession, and that Capt. Corcoran is stilt Capt. Corcorun. Buttercup marries the Boutswain, and, Capt.. Corcoran marries Hebe, who in this version is the principal character. In the fortncoming performances Lingard will play the Admiral, and the oth- er roles will be taken by the taembers of the old Church Choir company, supported by a home chorus. MAPLESON AT HOME. The London correspondent of the Amer- ican Art Journal writes from that city May. 26: Mr.J.H. Mapleson has at last settled with Mme. Christine Nilsson, and the prima donna with but little good grace will reappcur at ner Majesty's on May 23 in * Faust.” Mr. Mapleson fixed the matter in Paris after a series of inter- views with Mme. Nilsson’s agent, Mr. Henry Jarrett, A sort of compromise was in the end etfected, and 2s M. Faure could not be got for the money offered, Mr. Mapleson has engaged ‘Rota to sing as first baritone with Mme. Nils- wo. The announcement says Mine. Nilsson will sing “ata limited number of representations only.” It is understood that she will sing twice a week until other details are settled. Various other troubles which se~m-4 to be looming ahead at her Majesty’s Theatre are now in a fair way to be dispersed. - Signor Campanini is expected to arrive bere on or nbout June 10, and as Mme. Nilsson, desires be shall play Faust in ‘Mefistofele,” he will come none too soon. Madame Gerster is ex- pected about the same time, but as she is no particular-attractiou in London now, her arrivat will atfect the season but little. The best news of all is that the celebrated Milanese conductor, Signor Faccio, will arrive carly in June with Signor Nannetti, the original fe ‘dy and will superintend the producuon of Boito’'s oMMeanwhile Mr. Mapleson in his artistic diffi- cultics bas fallen back on the services of his old artist, Mile. Lima dl Murska. This extraor~ dinary woman sang Martha in’ Flotow’s opera on tho 24th Inst. Her muke-up was a3 usual a murvel, and a tresh supply of thixen hair makes her look younger than ever. Di Murska, like her voice, has grown much thinner toun When she was lust here, eighteen months ago. LOCAL MISCELLANY. Mr. W. H. Clark sang the bass solos in “ Elijah ” at a performance of that oratorio in Mt. Peasant, Ia., last Wednesday even- ing. The next “Elijah? rehearsal by the Beethoven Society will be held at the Ex- position Building Tuesday evening, the 21st. The entrance is on Adams street, and the re- hearsal will be a private one. The Pavilion on Wabash avenue has changed hands for the better, and now ap- pears asthe Germania Garden, the music being furnished by Nitschke’s orchestra. The change is a vast improvement. Mrs._ Bernard Donnelley, of the Kansas City Cathedral, sings the offertory_at St. Mary’s Church this morning. Mrs. Donnel- ley has been in the city studying with Mr. Root for the past four months. Mr. J. Maurice Hubbard, of this city, closed the commencement exercises of the Napierville (IIL) College last ‘Thursday evening with a violin and piano concert, Mr.. De Prosse playing the latter. It was very successful. i f Mrs. E. Aline Osgood, the famous soprano, will return to this country this suinmer, an has placed herself under the management of Mr. George W. Colby for oratorios and con- certs during the season of 1881-82. The pupils of the St Cecilia Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art will give two “musical evenings,” the first on Friday the 24th, the second on Monday, the 27th, at Chickering Llall, over Pelton & Pomeroy’s, 152 State street. _ Mr. Emil Liebling, Mr. Knorr, Mr. Broder- ick, and Miss Baker, of this city, will take solo parts in. the ‘Kansas State Musical Jubilee? which takes place at Bismarck, Aus. 18 and 19, under the direction of Mr. C. E. Leslie, of Chicago. The popular Chicago Quartet, assisted by A. P. Burbank, the St. Cee Quartet, Miss Kittie Wallace (soprano), Miss Jennie Hun- ter and Miss Edith Elliott (readers), and Mr. Louis Falk, organist, will give a concert Tuesday evening at Central Music Hall. ‘The Amateur Musical Club has closed its concerts for the present season, which has been the most successful one since its organ- ization. That the coming season will share the same and perhaps even greater success is shown by the great interest taken at present by the ladies of the management. A testimonial entertainment is to be given to Miss Eda. Eliel, a pupil of the Chicago Musical College. at Sinai Temple on Wednes- day evening next. Miss Eliel will read sev- eral selections, and will have the assistance of Miss Kittie Richards, Etta_ Butler, Mrs. Cowell-Hobkirk, and Messrs. Hender- son, Phelps, and Oesterle. Mrs. Grace Hiltz-Gleason has returned to the city from Providence, where she has been singing during the vast year and a halt in one of the leading churches. Previous to her departure for the East she was a pupil of Mrs. Eddy, and during her Eastern visit she has been studying with George L.Osgoud, Jules Jordan, Charles R. Adams, and George Henschel. She has decided to remain here- atterin Chicago, and will appear in concerts next season. ‘The first musical reception of the Euterpe Damenchor, or ies’ chorus, organized by Mr. C. E. R. Miiller, will take place on ‘Thursday evening next at Bauer's Musie- Rooms. ‘The program is replete with no ties by Bargiel, Scholtz, Henselt, Goetz, Volkmann, Hauptmann, Lachner, Rubin- stein, Jensen, Miller, and Hofmann, nearly all of which will ve heard here for the first time. The program: is the finest that has been offered ata reception this season. Mr. Eddy’s organ program yesterday noon was devoted to German composers of the sev- enteenth and eighteenth centuries, and in- cluded the following. numbers: Grand Fan- tasie and Fugue in G minor, by Sebastian Bach: Concerto in D minor, by W. L. Bach3 Grand Fantasie and/Fugue in G-major, by Krebs; Flute Concerto, by Renck; Canon in A major, by Fischer; Fantasie an Fugue in D minor, Op. 3, by Schneider; and Concerto in B flat, No.6, by-Handel. The last con- cert of the presentseason will take place ! next Saturday noon, on wh: occasion Mr. Eddy. will play the last of his series of national programs of organ music, cousist- ing entirely of orignal compositions by rep- resentative German organists and composers of the present century. é Mr. Frederick W. Root closed his work for the present season with a pupils’ reunion, given at the warerooms of Messrs. Pelton, Pomeroy & Cross, on Fridayevening. Among those who took part were Mrs. Jewett, Mrs. Ullmann, Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. Donnelly, the Misses Herrick, McCord, Laws-St. John, Cornell, Henderson, Hilton, Hibbard, Smith, and Hayes, also Messrs. W. HU. Clark, Palmer, Eames, Waters, and Root. Mr. John Me- y vas on the program for a song, but blized to be absent; however, Mrs. Jessie Bartlett-Davis was present and sup- plied a number in his place. MUSICAL NOTES. Herr Johann Strauss is at work ona new opera, “Der Lustige Kreig.” The book is by Zell and Genec. Madame Essipoff is in Vienna resting after her concert season. - She will probably go to England in the autumn, The Brazilian residents of New York City have honored their precocious youngcountry- man, Mauricio Denzremont, the violin play- er, by giving hima gold medal. M. Massenet, the successful composer of “Le Roi de Lahore,” is engaged upon anew opera, the theme of which is to be nothing Jess than a version of Gothe’s * Werther.” All the musical notabilities of Belgium and many from abroad, were present at the Liszt festival at Antwerp on May 27. Liszt con- gratulated the vocalists as well as the instru- Inentalists. At the invitation of the Burgo- master he wrote his name in the Golden Book of the City of Antwerp. ‘The festival closed with the Preludes Symphoniques. The enormous success ot the Rubinstein tour in England will probably induce him to reconsider his announced determination of retiring from the concert platform after the present year. At the second of his Man- chester recitals, on May 24, for instance, the receipts were $2, nearly all profit, as the outgoes are inconsiderable. A onearmed piano virtuoso, Count Geza Zichy, has lately been giving some remark ble performances, and now he has a rival in the Hungarian Baroness, Alphonsine Weiss, who displays as much dexterity with her tight hand us does the Count with his left. She recently created a. great sensation at a concert in Paris by her performance of one of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies, Chopin’s Cminor Etude, an Adagio by Beethoven, and some other pieces. Mr. Carl Rosa ended the longest opera tour on record by his company at Dublin on May is. ‘The company have been on the road sincg the first week of August last year, and thei only rest has been three days at Christ- mas and a few days at Easter. ‘The novelties of the tour have been Ainbroise Thomas’ opera boutfe, “The Cadi,” and Ponchielli’s “1 Promessi Sposi.” On the whole, the tour nas been successful. While he was in Paris, Mr. Mapleson en- tered into arrangements for the appearance of the French Opera Conttaue troupe in Lon- don this year. ‘The affair has, however, now dwindled down to three performances per week of M. Delibes’ new opera, “Jean de Nivelle,” to be played on Mondays, Wednes- and Fridays of each week, beginning on June 13, ‘The affair will be the joint spec- ulation of Mr, Mapleson and MM. Henzel, the Paris publishers. Mr. Frederick A. Schwab has gone to Eu- rope to engage the soloists for. Mr. ‘Theodore Thomas’ great Music Festival in. May next, and will visit London, Paris, Bert nua, and Milan in performance of his duties. As the festal. weck in New York is to be fol- lowed by like terms in Cincinnati and Chi- cago, and as the same soloists will take part in the three festivals, the eross receipts of which are likely to reach $400,000, some idea, of the resources of the inanagement may be arrived at. ‘The New York guarantee fund is to be raised to $100,000. The list of American singers who have made reputations of the highest order in Europe, and particularly in England, whicn includes Mme. Adelina Patti, Mme. Albani, Miss Kellogg, Mime. Valleria, Mrs, Osgood, Mme. Antoinette Sterling, Ys and others less eminent, has latel: creased by the addition of Miss Beebe’s name. It has always been a pleasure to hear Miss Beebe, and her conscientious efforts haye-so thoroughly won a profession- al_rank for her at home that it is nots prising to learn she has met with appre ative attention in the brief time sbe has been in London. Mlle. Gabbi, Mr. Mapleson’s new American wt donna, is said by the Londou press to prove steadily with each new perforimn~ ee. Her singing is sympathetic and ¢x- pressive, and her acting is marked by feeling and good taste, She gives promise of be- coming 2 useful member of her Majesty’s company. NEW MUSIC.

Gnicago Correspundence Renfrewshire (Scotland) Ga- tte. We have seen something of Chicago’s early struggles and eventful career. We have spoken of it as the village whose inhabitants were in continual fear of their existence. We have looked at trying periods of its his- tory, and glanced with admiration at its noble and successful efforts to throw off the impostors’ yoke. We have seen “young America” Jaunching into schemes entirely beyond his abilities and experience, and coming forth from the chaos a wiser and a better man. We have viewed it as the rising city, with its active population, buoyant in its youth with hope and life, and brimming with every scheme and enterprise peculiar to thé genius of man. We have seen yet again the colossal results of her official mercantile returns, from which fortunes have been made, and men in low estate by well-merited plans and the work of their own hands ris- ing to the dignity of merchant princes of the country. And now we propose to indite a few plain senteaces on what the City of Chicago is to-day. It embraces 26,- 000 acres, and covers an area of forty square miles, and has besides numerous suburbs, governed by local magistrates, who are con- tinually throwing in_ their lot, and becoming part and parcel of the whole. Thus these nurseries are ever adding to its territory, e: tending its limits, and augmenting its r enue. | The city is divi by a natural river into three distinct divisions—South, West, and North. ‘The first is the intense business district; the second embraces residences, manufacturing, and Inmbermne operations; and the third entirely a residence district. The river is nearly fifty miles long, and ig somewhat after the -size of the Clyde between Renfrew and Glasgow, and navigable for the largest ships. 1t is spanned. by thirty-six swung bridges, and is tunneled in two places,—triumphis of engineering skill, for the conveyance of heavy freights. The city embraces 3,162 manufactories, and em- ploys in this way 113,000 operatives, und - an invested capital of $6,000,000. Chicago is the metropolis of the great Northwest, and consequently commands the patronage of an immense tributary country. Her business in grain, lumber, and live-stock has assumed tremendous proportions, and in these special lines of trade she leads the world. Last year the receipts in grain (bushels) were 163,426,- 000; hops, 7,059,254; cattle receipts, 1,352,397. ‘This immense and ever-increasing trade she has obtained because of having become the purchasing-market of the entire Western States. Railroads now largely centre here; twenty-four different lines enter the city from every part of the Union, and 143 passen- er trains arrive and depart daily. The city as 153 miles of street-railway, and passen- gers are conveyed almost any distance at a mere nominal charge. . Her Board. of Trade is one of her most notable institutions, has 1,800 members, and is probably the most ecn- terprising clement she possesses. In the mat- ter of recreation for her citizens, Chicazo is alike conspicuous. She possesses eleven public parks, and they cover an area of 3,000 acres; ‘they are certainly beautiful places of resort, and are quite equal to the parks of London. Some of them-are mod- eled after the celebrated Avenue P Imper- atrice in Paris, and it is proposed that the bowevard system shall, in the near future, connect all her public parks. Whilst the Gity stands pre acter of its resources for physical comforé and enjoyment, it has grand universities and schools equip chers of rare ability, and_distins e for tele lola: aso a perfect micro- hes for the promulgation of re- ligion,—2 ately buildings are devoted to sacred worship, and they comprise twenty- ix different denominations, and some of merica’s ablest oraturs are amongst the nes who grace the pulpit. Such are a few of the more prominent features which strike the eye of the casual visitor in the great and ever-increasing city. Of her fut- ure, of course, no one can tell. She is now conceded to be the second commercial city of the country, and if she has attained her present position in the short space of thirty years, it would be at least safe to assume that with her experience, her concentrated wealth, her ies for maintaining the trade and disvosing of the products of the fertile regions of the West, she will at least, during the next twenty years, ‘double her present population, and also immensely in- crease in wealth. Now, a word to emigrants. The story of emigration is as old us the hills, and every recurring season brings with it some newly- conceived plan for the amelioration of the masses of Great Br The Colonial Gov- ernment are everlastingly flooding the old land with circulars (as a rule ably written and well got up) narrating in detail what is to be had and what can be done within the limits of their domains; indeed, they otten send home agents (who generally won’t work and are good for nothing else) to espouse their cause, and preach up the merits of their respective countries. In ‘some. cases they have done good, and we will grant it; but-in the vast majority of cases they do positive mischief by willful misrepresentation, and making things appear to be what they are not. Emigrants should ever be on the alert and even suspicious of the “assisted passages” dodge, of getting good ‘ming lands tor nothing on their ar- rival, and of obtaining as many cattle as they at for the asking. Alisuch h est humbug, and never could. be fulfilled, and the man who makes it is a downright impostor. In fact, no Colonial Government is- rich ugh to give value unless they re- ceive compensation in some form or other, and that, be whatever it may, must come down to the fot standard in the long run. Plans, we believe, have been set afloat this yery season whereby the poor worktng man is to become a landed proprietor in a very short time. ‘It is proposed to buy up immense tracts of country in Manitoba, and the un- wary is invited to contribute his mite tosome central fund, whereby, by some course of inagic, he is to become a possessor of thesoll. wn of chur vt) ci talk is the ver All are to win, and of course there are to be no blanks. ‘There is. too much of the Dan O’Connel scheme about. this to be of any practical avail, and your correspondent regards it as a piece of transparent nonsense, Which should be deprecated by every thinking man, {t-is at once opposed to the principles of common st and it istobe hoped the people of Paisley will not allow themselves to be drawn into the meshes; by any such bene- factors of their race as the propounders of a scheme which is sure to result in failure and disappointment, ‘except possibly to the initiated few, who will likely profit largely by the result. ‘The only true planis for every man to come out here, and resolve to do fur himself. It would come to that in the Jong run, and he may as well enter upon the proper course at once.
