Miss Baker, who was a pupil of Dr. W. W. Gilchrist, of Philadelphia, and Oscar Saenger, of New York, is now soloist at the Madison Avenue Reformed Church, New York City. The singer’s recent tour of the Middle West in concert was a great success, and she was afterward engaged for the nine weeks’ spring tour of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.

BALALAIKA ORCHESTRA, Russian Imperial Court (Bal-lah-lie-’kah) eee The balalaika is a primitive folk instrument with a tone similar to that of a mandolin, and is at present the most famous instrument in Russia. Every regiment has its balalaika orchestra, and the music on the Czar’s yacht during the recent stay at Cowes was a balalaika band. This instrument is a kind of guitar, with only three strings, being made in several sizes, from that of a mandolin to something near a double bass. These records, which were made under the personal direction of the conductor, Mr. Andreeff, exhibit well the striking effects produced by these gifted players.
