world is a player of unusual I un-usual attainments His brilliant technique and magnetic qualities have rarely if ever been exceeded even by Sarasate He is one of the virtuosos who create for themselves a welcome everywhere The Sun critic also wrote Walter Damrosch asking that Mons Arnold be given a place as soloist in his next orchestra concert The result is that he will play next month with the Dam rosch orchestra accompaniment Mons Arnolds first appearance was at a reception given by Mme Cap piani where he was rapturously applauded ap-plauded He also played before the Eurydice club at Philadelphia with the same result He was introduced to the Apollo club by Mr Chapman on the 13th Inst and after playing Reverie Re-verie by Vieuxtemps and Mudlarks by Bazzini was lifted upon the shoulders of somje members of the club and carried about the room amidst tumultuous cheering Some of the enthusiastic members gave him a supper the same evening I was arranged that he should play at a large concert given by the Rubenstein club December 7 at Madison Square garden He also played Wienlawskis 2nd concerto con-certo in the presence of Levy the pianist pian-ist of the Apollo club and a

active practice since 1887 In eastern cities where this combination has appeared the press have been unanimous in their praise The reception given the Tabernacle choir in Denver on their recent trip Is still fresh in the memories of the members mem-bers of that choir being undoubtedly the most enthusiastic en route and as the Mendelssohns hail from Denver the feeling is very general of giving them a warm welcome here A curious circumstance in connec curous tion with these gentlemen is the fact that all took Masonic degrees in August Aug-ust 1891 and are at present members of the Scottish
