Y., on Wednesday, June 13. Special busses have been chartered for the occasion and will start from the C. H. Ditson & Co. store on East Thirty-fourth street at 1 o'clock. Each publisher will be entitled to bring four guests and the party will include ladies. The afternoon will be given over to golf and other outdoor sports and the dinner and dancing are scheduled for the evening. The committee arranging the outing consists of Maurice Richmond, Joseph Glassmacher and Michael Keene. "Yamakraw'Tublished by Alfred & Co. Alfred & Co., New York City, have secured the rights to "Yamakraw," a negro rhapsody by Jimmy Johnson, writer of the original "Charleston." The composition is a decided novelty and is quite lengthy, the piano part running to twenty-six pages. It has proven popular with a number of some of the well-known orchestras and during the past month was played by Nat Shilkret and His Victor Recording Orchestra, the Keep Shufflin' Orchestra from the Eltinge Theatre, and was one of the feature numbers at the concert of W. C. Handy given at Carnegie Hall recently. Yamakraw is the name of a negro settlement in Georgia. Al Hasse, head of Alfred & Co., is putting a strenuous campaign behind the composition and expects that it will be a favorite with large orchestras. Berlin Announces "Fanette" The Irving Berlin Standard Music Corp. just released a characteristic fox-trot, entitled "Fanette," by Rube Bloom, composer of other famous novelty compositions. "Fanette" has a very clever melody and should become one of the outstanding instrumental hits of the year. A special symphonic dance orchestration by one of the foremost arrangers will be made now for immediate exploitation.

Since the first Parisian appearance overtures from several sources have been received offering a more extended stay. Fred Waring, director of the orchestra, was more than surprised at the warmth of the welcome which was accorded him. Incidentally, he is featuring a new American success, "Felix the Cat," a novel dance number and entertaining song. In a cablegram to the Sam Fox Publishing Co. Mr. Waring stated: "Featuring Felix the Cat, which in my opinion should be a song hit for you." Additions to Berlin Tenor Banjo Catalog The Irving Berlin Standard Music Corp. reports it has just taken over the exclusive publishing rights for tenor banjo, piano and mandolin and guitar on ."Russian Rag" and "Some of These Days," published by Will Rossiter, of Chicago. These numbers will be arranged for tenor banjo by Roy Smeck, wizard of the strings, and will be added to the now famous banjo catalog the Irving Berlin Standard Music Corp. has. The famous John Philip Sousa marches for tenor banjo and piano are scheduled to be released early this month. New Feist Numbers "Last Night I Dreamed You Kissed Me" and "Too Busy," two new Feist numbers, are showing up extremely well and give every indication of finding a wide popularity. Other selections recently included in the Feist catalog are "I Tore Up Your Picture When You Said Good-by" (But I Put It Together Again), by Dolly Morse and Andrew Donnelly, writers of "Baby Your Mother," "Your a Real Sweetheart," by Orving Ceasar and Cliff Friend, and "Don't Cry Baby," by Gus Kahn and Ted Fiorito., The Berlin number "I Wonder" is proving a favorite with radio broadcasting artists and has been included in a great many leading programs. Allan McQuhae sang it during the Atwater Kent program on May 27, and it was also featured during recent RCA and Palmolive hours.
