The original owner, having met with finan- cial reverses, sold it to Hill's of London and in due tute ik w*as acquired by Mr. Feuermann. Feuemn as bis cello looked likenew, a * mar.-,elous.ly. preserved, but when played vibrated intensely. To him string instruments, are. like pearls-they Ianguisb unIe.... they are in use. He brought the cello up to a state of perfection by playing on it daily and, in bis opinion, it is now the finest cello he knows of. He also firmy be- »uring the hour of music this coming Sunday afternoon at Shawnee Country club the Chicago Symphonie choir, consisting of fifty voices, will. give the program under the direction of its con- ductor, Walter Aschenbrenner.
