Besides the famous con- tralto, Mrs. Katharipe: Fishe, Miss BElec Gifford has been enguged as the leading so- prano, Miss Gifford’s swonderful talents, ever since her debut under the direction of Theodore Thomas last year have been a source of pride to the great western city which she makes her home. Since the be- glnning of her professional caroer Miss Gifford has scored triumph after triumph. Good mualc has heen scarce in Nebras! this year. None of the great opera or con- cert companies have . been west. Almost every one is hungry for a little good music. Miss Gifford will be heard at the preludes of the assembly and will give one recital herself. In this country we are glad enough to g0 to a crowded concert hall to hear a goood singer once. It is a rare thing to have an opportunity to hear one of the best sopranos not onco, bul many times. No recreation is compiete without good music, and with it no entertainment can be any- thing but enjoyable i — Be sure you go to Courtland today. bk STIVAL OF SONG, NATIONAL Fi Grent Preparationd Belng Made for the Sangerfest at New Pork, NEW YORK, June 16.—A national fes- tival of song—a national sangerfest—which promises to eclipse any previous effort of the kind that has been attempted in this coun- try, will be begun In Madison Square Gar- den Saturday, June 23. The carnival of music and song will be produced under the auspices of the Verenelgten Sanger soclety, of which Mr. Willlam Steinway is the hon- orary president and Mr. Richard Katz meyer s vice president. ‘The soclety, In bringing about this festival, does so in’ the belief that it will tend to encourage the cultivation of music and song. The com- mittee of arrangements is a very represent- ative one, and among those who are taking an active part in making the affair a suc- cess are Mayor Gilroy, ex-Mayors R. Grace and Hugh Grant, Chauncey M. Depew, B. Sllery Anderson, James Kilbreth, collector of the port of New York, Andrew Carnegle, R. Myers, Joseph H. Choate,, George B. McClel- lan, W. B.Bradford Merrill, Charles A. Dana, John L. Cockerill and Judge P. Henry Doug las. All the principal societics in every state east of the Mississippl will be repre- sented and it {s expected that a chorus of 10,000 male voices will be heard. This will constitute the largest male chorus ever heard in this country. The committce has entrusted the management of the carnival to James Morrisey, and in addition to the singing societies, the members of which are all nonprofessional, the following well known soloists have been engaged: Amelia Materna, Emma Juch, Lillian Blauvelt, Madame Tavary, Maud Powell, Guiseppe Campanini, Emil Fisher, Conrad Behrens, Arthur Frofdheim and Victor Herbert. The musical directors, Messrs, Vanderstucken, Zoolner and Hein, have been laboring very effectually for the past three months at re- hearsals “with the several societies which are to take part and they are perfectly satis- fled with the result of their labors. In all there will be five concerts. The opening performance will be at 8:30 o'clock on Satur- day evening, June 23, and it will be given in honor of the visiting singers. The sec- ond will take place on Sunday afternoon. It will be devoted to prize singing, in which male chorus societies of the first and third class will compete. The former, consist- ing of representatives from Buffalo, Bultimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and New York, will sing Zerlatta's “Das Grab 1im Buzento.” The third, class, comprising societies from every state east of the Mississippl, will render Pache's “Walkeinsamkeit.” The prizes in each class will be: First, a Steinway grand plano; second, a solid silver cup; third, a solid silver wreath. The competitive prize singing for the second class will take place on Monday afternoon, June 25, when Von Weinzerla's “‘Herrbst Nacht” will be sung. The prizes In the second class will be similar to those of the first and third classes. The first concert will be given on Monday and all the prominent artists mentioned will take part in it. President Cleveland and Governor Flower have written to the com- mittee accepting the invitations to attend, and it is expected that many notable per- sons from the different states will come to see the performance. The decorators are already busy at work on the garden, and when the doors are thrown open the specta- tors will be confronted with a dazzling blend- ing of the stars and stripes and the German tricolor, festooned with natural flowers and garlands, The front of the building on the Madison Square side is similarly decorated. In case a “hot spell” should pay a visit dur- ing the celebration the immense sliding roof can be thrown open, thus glvingl the specta- tors the pleasure of an open alr concert. A triumphal arch_is being erected in front. It is expected that from this balcony Presi- dent Cleveland and other distinguished vis- itors will review the procession which wifl herald the opening of the saengerfest. This parade will be the principal feature of the festival. Fully 20,000 men will be in line, each one wearing an alpine hat and carry- ing a lighted torch. They will march to the time of vocal music and all along the line of march the citizens have been re- quested to illuminate their residences, In- terspersed along the line there will be several floats, beautifully decorated, and the princi- pal one will represent an apotheosis of music and song. It will have the place of honor between the Arion and Liederkranz societies. Several uniformed organizations will also take part, and altogether the sight will be a pleasing as well as an Instructive one.

The Women's Christian association and the Young Women's Christian assoclation, both of which occupy the front among worthy organizations for the advancement of the interests of womenkind in general, have joined forces for the purpose of securing funds to assist them In their work. They have undertaken the production of ‘““The Fairies’ Carnival” and have s Fifteenth Street theater for Thursday and Friday evenings, June and 29, with a matinee on Saturday a noon, June 30. Rehearsals are now in prog- ress under the direction of J. Edgar Owens, who will direct and costume the entire cnter- tainment. Mr. Owens has had large experi- ence in this work, and he is most emphatic In his declaration that he has never had finer material to work with that he has found here. The ladies of the two associa- tions have secured for him the very best to be had in the city. The immense stage, the largest in the west, will fairly swarm with children, and the grotesquely costumed dances in which they will appear will be a most charming revelation to all who attend. There will be four performances, and as the children who take part are already sclling many tickets this far in advance, the net financial results to the ladies who are inter- ested promises to be most handsomely sat- Isfactory. rank Y.
