A Member Of The 300 Musicians

A New York paper has the following to say in reference to the society of which Prof. A. A. Stanley, director of the University school of music, is an honored member: "What is known as the most successful musical organization in Gotham is the Manuscript society which has recently added to íts membership a large number of new ñames. The society now counts on its list over three hundred acrive musicians and music lovers, among them Antón, Seidl, Walter Damrosch, Emil Paur and Theodore Thomas for musical directors, and Dudley Buck,William Masón, Harry Rowe Shelley, Arthur Foote, Xaxier Scharwenka, Reginald de Koven, W. W. Gilchrist and Samuel P. Warren. It is proposed to make the society a national institution, with branch societies in the principal cities. With this end in view a congress of musicians from Boston, St. Louis and San Francisco is to be held here."
