Alexandre Ouilmant, the famous or- ganist, died at his suburban residence, at Meudon, near Paris, March 29, at the age of 74. Son of an organist at Boulogne, he showed signs of musical genius at an early age, but it was Lemmens, a Bel- gian organist, who first inspired him to study. At the Conservatoire of Brussels Guilmant received his early tuition. In 1873 he was appointed or- ganist at the Trinite, Paris, and in 1894 he assisted Charles Bordes in founding the now famous Schola Can- torum in Paris, where he remained a professor until the end, with Vincent d'Indy. Guilmant made several tours, and was well known in the United States and Canada. He was also a professor at the Conservatoire of Paris, taking Cesar Franck's class, and was a fre- quent player at the Trocadero. The great organist will be universally re- gretted. Inez Barbour, the New York con- tralto, sails for London, April 27, on the steamship Cleveland, where she will appear in drawing room recitals. Janet "Wylie, an American soprano, who has been studying abroad for the past year, has signed a two years' con- tract to sing at the Opera House in Mulhausen, Alsace, Germany. Mme. Jeanne Jomelli, dramatic so- prano, now in Europe appearing in concert and opera, tours America next season under the management of Haensel & Jones. Lndwig Hess* next American tour is now being mapped out by M. H. Hanson. Frank LaForge, composer and pian- ist, who has Just returned from his European tour, is engaged to tour with Gerald lne Farrar in the fall, and later next season, accompany Mme. Sem- brlch in Russia, LEADER'S BIG SEND-OFF. London, April 11. It was a great send-off that Dr. Hans Rlchter received April 10 at Queen's Hall, the famous orchestra leader being presented with a three- handled loving cup with the compli- ments of the London Symphony Or- chestra. He also received an illumin- ated address, signed by each member of the orchestra. Dr. Rlchter made grateful reply. He expects to be at the Covent Garden in the autumn. ENGAGED TO WED. St. Louis, April 19. The engagement to wed of Olga Samaroff, noted American pianist and Leopold Stokovski, director of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, has been announced. Mme. Samaroff is a St. Louisan and the daughter of Mme. Hickenlooper, 4545 Maryland avenue. The date of the marriage has not been given out but it will be early, prob- ably immediately after Stokovski com- pletes his spring season. A DEFICIT OF $30,000. The Symphony Society of New York (Walter Damrosch, conductor), which has ended its season, gave ninety- eight concerts during it, exclusive of the seven weeks' spring tour, which began Easter Monday. A report of the expenditures shows $100,000 has been paid out on orchestral salaries and $80,000 more for cost of man- agement, rental of halls, soloists, ad- vertising, etc. The deficit has been $36,000, which will be met by the orchestra fund. Andreas Dippell, general director of the Chicago-Philadelphia Opera Co., announces that two visits to the east will be made next season. Three weeks in Philadelphia, with a single concert each week in New York and Philadelphia, will start the season. The Co. will probably remain intact, with a few exceptions. Maurice Re- naud may not return. Eleanora di Ci8neros will go to Australia with the Melba company. Ellison Von Hoose, American tenor, who received considerable attention abroad and is now singing in Italy, will tour America next season under the direction of Haensel & Jones. Adelina Pattl, living in retirement in Wales, is announced to grace the Coronation season in London when she will sing June 1 for the benefit of an old friend, Wllhelm Ganz, with whom she was formerly associated on the road. Puccini's "Girl of the Golden West" will be offered in English by Henry W. Savage, Nov. 24. Edna Showalter will alternate with two other sopranos in singing the role of Minnie. Frederick Rycroft, Savage's general musical di- rector, is now on his way to Europe to engage other singers.
