 LTHOUGH the importance of Toronto as a centre of educa- 
 tion is generally admitted, few stop to think how great is 
 the proportion which musical institutions play in the general 
 educational scheme. The Toronto Conservatory of Music and 
 the Toronto College of Music are undoubtedly the two most 
 important institutions of their kind in the Dominion, while the 
 Metropolitan School of Music (operating in the west end of 
 the city ), although not so long established, makes a healthy 
 and vigorous third and tills a special need. Again, there 
 are a large number of famous ladies' colleges and private 
 seminaries where a tirst-class musical education is a 
 prime consideration, and where only the highest musi- 
 cal teaching-talent is employed. The 'hief 
 musical glory of Toronto, however, rests upon 
 the personal fame of its musical sons and 
 daughters, even if many of them are adopted. 
 There are many famous church organs, such 
 as those in St. James' Cathedral, the Metropolitan, 
 St. Andrew's, Jarvis Street Baptist Church, and 
 Sherbourne Street Methodist Church, and in the 
 numerous tine halls suitable for concert giving. 
 From St. George's Hall to the vast Massey 
 Music Hall, with its seating capacityof 5,000 
 people, is a great jump, but to mention them 
 together gives an excellent idea of the com- 
 pleteness of Toronto's equipment in the way 
 of halls. St. George's Hall, an architectural 
 and acoustic gem, is adapted specially to 
 accommodating small and specially select con- 
 cert parties. When it is the intention to give 
 a chamber concert and to perform to a limited 
 audience, it is very depressing to have to face 
 rows of empty benches, or to have to till 
 
 lAMKS' lATIllMlRAI.. ri'>RliN lO. 
 
■P 
 
 them with the iinappreciative. St. George's Hall renders this unnecessary ; it 
 is just the size. But if a giant work, such as "The Messiah " or " Elijah," is to 
 be rendered before a great audience, the Massey Music Hall, with its immense 
 stage and vast auditorium, its beautiful appointments and abundant light, is 
 available. It is not too much to say that the Massey Music Hall is one of 
 the finest homes of music in America. The appliances for heating in winter 
 and lowering the temperature in summer are of the latest, and the facilities 
 for exit in case of tire or panic could scarcely be improved upon. It was a 
 princely gift to the citizens of Toronto, and the name of Hart A. Massey should 
 long be cherished in the city which has benefited so largely by his generosity. 
 The publishers of this Souvenir feel that the musical public throughout 
 the Dominion will be interested in viewing portraits of the leading musicians 
 
 and representatives of 
 the various churches, 
 halls and institutions 
 which have made the 
 city musically famous. 
 In this belief we respect- 
 fully inscribe it to the 
 musicians of the Do- 
 minion. We have also 
 included a few por- 
 traits and biographical 
 sketches of the pioneers 
 of musical art in 
 Manitoba and British 
 Columbia, which we 
 feel sure will be accept- 
 able to our readers. 
 
 Ahhough the Univer- 
 sity of Toronto is the 
 fountain-head of all 
 education in the Province, few think of associating it with music. It, however, 
 works in al^iliation with the College of Music, just as the venerable Trinity 
 University does with the Toronto Conservatory of Music* The University has 
 two well-known musical societies — "The University Glee Club" and the 
 "Zeta Psi" — while musical services are frequently conducted by the "University 
 Y.M.C.A.," which owns a picturesque building of its own on the borders of the 
 campus. 
 
 Trinity University grants musical degrees, and the conversaziones given 
 by the various universities (including Victoria) are famous for their musical 
 features. The beautiful chapel of the latter institution possesses a tine Mason &

 The buildings of the Toronto 
 University are the architectural glory 
 of the city, although Victoria's mag- 
 nificent structure attracts almost, if 
 not quite, as much attention irom 
 strangers, while the quaintness and 
 venerable appearance of Trinity's long- 
 drawn-out pile adds a picturesque ele- 
 ment to the very modern surroundings. 
 The glorious nave and chancel of 
 St. James' Cathedral have lately been 
 enriched by the erection of a magnifi- 
 cent organ by Warren. It is presided over by Dr. Stocks Hammond, an 
 English organist of eminence who has but recently arriveo amongst us. The 
 Metropolitan Church ( which constitutes in itself a superb concert auditorium i 
 has another fine organ by the same maker, and presided over by Mr. F. H. 
 Torrington. Jarvis Street Baptist Church and St. Andrew's Church (King 
 Street ) also possess fine instruments, presided over by Messrs. A. S. \'ogt and 
 Edward Fisher respectively. Walmer Road Baptist Church ( one of the 
 largest and finest Baptist churches in Canada ) possesses a very fine instrument 
 made by Mason & Risch, of Worcester, Mass. When it comes to counting 
 churches which possess good concert organs, however, they are too numerous 
 to mention in our limited space. 
 
 We will now proceed 
 to give a few short 
 descriptions of some of 
 the principal musical 
 schools of the city, with 
 sketches of the members 
 of their teaching facul- 
 ties, as well as a large 
 number of artists who, 
 although not connected 
 with any of these insti- 
 tutions, have won dis- 
 tinguished reputations 
 as concert, virtuosi.

 ^KOBABI.V the best known musician in 
 the city is Mr. F. H. Torrington, princi- 
 pal ot the College of Music, Pembroke 
 Street, organist ot the Metropolitan Church, and 
 conductor ot the Orchestral School. This is 
 owing to the fact, first, ot his long residence 
 here; second, to his great musical ability, and 
 third, to his still greater personal force of 
 character. Since 1.S73 he has been a pillar ot 
 the Toronto nvsical fabric. As conductor ot 
 the Philharmonic Society, he has introduced 
 most of the choral works of the great masters 
 to a Toronto audience for the first time. He 
 has conducted festivals, organized societies, drilled orchestras and choirs, and 
 organized and conducted musical institutions throughout an already long 
 and eventful life, and has acted generally as "a planter of stakes" to show 
 the musical path to a new community. He is a man of wide musical cultiue 
 and of the most unbounded energy. He never seems to rest. There is a 
 legend that he never sleeps, which, whilst believed by many, has never been 
 fully demonstrated to be true. Mr. Torrington has always been a generous 
 assistant to meritorious individuals or causes, frequently giving freely of his 
 time and energy without hope of 
 financial reward In character 
 he might be likened to some 
 rugged, sturdy oak, the pioneer 
 of the forest, under whose kindly 
 sheltering branches many a 
 younger tree has grown up to 
 independence of support. The 
 home of the College of Music 
 is a handsome building occupy- 
 ing ample grounds on Pembroke 
 Street, one of the most charm- 
 ingly retired streets in the city. 
 There is a tine hall in the 
 building furnished with a Warren 
 pipe organ, whilst the teaching

 of the College is a good 
 one, goes without saying. 
 We have only to mention 
 such names as Messrs. Field. Tesseman, Hairclough. Robinson, and Kuth, and 
 Mme. Lucy Franklein. Mme. Strauss Voungheart, Miss Norah Hillary, Miss 
 Sullivan, and Miss Matthews. The following are the most important depart- 
 ments of teaching: Piano, organ, voice, violin and harmony. The number 
 of pupils attending the College is very large and is constantly increasing. 
 One of the principal points of pride with the management of the College is 
 the very large proportion of their pupils who have passed the trying exam- 
 inations of the University of Toronto and have obtained the degree of Mus. 
 Bac. therefrom, as shown by the University records.

 MUSIC. 
 
 THH Toronto Conservatory of Music was the first institution in Canada to 
 adopt the Conservatory form of operation in Toronto. The success which 
 has attended the ertbrt gives abundant testimony to the wisdom and fore- 
 thought which were brought to bear in mapping: out a plan and career for it by 
 its founders, its home is to be found in commodious premises at the corner of 
 Yonge Street and Wilton Avenue, and its comfortable parlors and roomy cor- 
 ridors generally present a busy aspect with its bustle of teachers and pupils. 
 The musical director, Mr. Edward Fisher, has been a dominant personal force 
 from the start, not only in the Conservatory, but in the advanced musical 
 thought and progress of the city, and few men enjoy the personal regard and 
 esteem of both pupils and co-workers to such an extent as he. He has held the 
 post of organist and choirmaster of St. Andrew's Church since 1879, and was for 
 twelve years conductor of the Toronto Choral Society — a position which the 
 growth of the Conservatory compelled him to relinquish in 1891. His specialty 
 in the musical profession is pre-eminently that of a teacher, having made the art 
 and science of teaching a constant study for many years. Mr. Fisher's most 
 prominent characteristic is his unfailing and uniform courtesy. His interest in 
 
MK. KKWAKI* I'ISIIKR. 
 
 art is unbounded, and his knowledge as wide as his interest, ihei^e is a famous 
 Musical Reference Library attached to the Conservatory. Numerous concerts 
 
 are given in the small hall in the building, but 
 larger concerts are given in the adjacent Asso- 
 ciation Hall, which possesses a large pipe 
 organ, *he property of the Conservatory. 
 For purposes of granting degrees, it has 
 been long atiiliated with Trinity College and 
 more recently with Toronto University. 
 It is impossible in this brochure to give 
 a complete list of the faculty, but it 
 comprises such well-known names as 
 J. Humfrey Anger, Mrs. Dreschler Adam- 
 son, Jno. Bayley, (iuiseppe Dinelli, \ . 
 P. Hunt, A. S. Vogt (organ), and Miss 
 Norma Reynolds. A large proportion 
 of the students who have taken the degree 
 of Mus. Bac. from Trinity University were 
 specially prepared at the Conservatory, a fact 
 which naturally aflords gratification to the musi- 
 cal director. The erection of a larger building in an up-town quarter of the 
 city is being discussed by 
 the Board of Directors as 
 we go to press. There is 
 little reason to suppose 
 that the patrons who have 
 so liberally supported the 
 enterprise up to the pres- 
 ent will fail to meet any 
 further calls which may 
 be made upon them, it 
 will be surticient to de- 
 monstrate the necessity 
 and the thing will be as 
 good as done. The site 
 talked of is one of the 
 finest in the city, and is 
 situated within d short 
 distance of Queen's Park 
 and the Parliament Buildings. We present also a fine cut of St. Andrew's 
 Church (King Street \,o\ which Mr. Hisher is organist. We regret that we were 
 unable to obtain a cut of the onjan.

 THH Metropolitan School of Music (1494-96 Queen Street West, Toronto < 
 is one of the most promising of the teaching institutions which have 
 sprung into being in Toronto within the last tew years. From its incep- 
 tion financial matters have been handled by a Board 
 composed of many of the most prominent financiers in 
 ioronto, whilst its business administration has been in 
 charge of the secretary, Mr. Hdmund L. Roberts, Toronto 
 correspondent of the A'crt' Vor/: Musical Courier. 
 While financial assistance is indispensable at the start 
 of any musical institution, the permanent success must, 
 however, depend upon the qualifications of the musical 
 executive. Mr. W. O. Forsyth, principal of the Metro-. 
 politan School of Music, is a musician of superior talent, 
 a pre-eminently fine teacher of pianoforte playing, and an excellent harmonist. 
 He is a composer of distinction, having written many delightful pianoforte 
 morceaux and some charming songs, and is also the author of some important 
 orchestral works. So much for his versatility. 
 
 After some early training in Toronto, Mr. Forsyth studied privately in 
 Germany with the eminent masters, Martin Krause, Jadassohn, Adolf Ruthardt 
 and Richard Hofmann, of Leipzig, and Julius Fpstein, of Vienna. 
 
 Mr. Forsyth writes on musical matters in a way to command atten- 
 tion, which probably explains the fact that he is a paid contributor to three 
 
 journals in the United States. With a principal of 
 faculty also selected with the greatest care and judg- 
 wonder that the Metropolitan School has made a 
 mark for itself in the world of musical progress. 
 It may be mentioned further that the School 
 was especially established to fill the long-felt 
 need of an institution of that kind in the west 
 end of the city which would obviate the neces- 
 sity of making long and fretiuent trips to the 
 older up-town schools, ihe foresight of 
 its founders has received ample justifka- 
 ;\- tion in the sudden and surprising growth 
 of the attendance, it has a sure and bril- 
 liant future before it. The School is fully 
 equipped with Mason & Risch and other 
 pianos, and occupies a handsome structure 
 on the leading thoroughfare of Parkdale.

 names as Mr. H. M. Field, Mr. W. O. Forsyth, Mr. J. W. F. Harrison. Miss

 most vigorous, though the youngest, of the many ladies' schools in Torontti. 
 its status is indicated by the names on the Board of Management : Hon. S. H. 
 Blake, Q C, M. W. Hoyles, Esq., Q.C., J. H. Mason, Bq.. Pn.f. Wrong and 
 F. T. Stewart, Hsq. The special aim of the promoters was to give young ladies 
 thorough intellectual training under the best religious intluences. Six of the 
 resident start, including the principal, Miss Knox (Oxford), have had the unusual 
 advantage of training in 
 the great universities of 
 Fngiand, Scotland and 
 Canada. Here also the 
 musical faculty is very 
 strong, the instrumental 
 and vocal departments 
 being under the direction 
 of Messrs. H. M. Field and 
 Walter H. Robinson (pupil 
 of Randegger) respectively. 
 The Hall is fully equipped 
 with pianos, about one-half

 at our hands. We confine 
 ourselves to the department 
 of music, which is under 
 the direction of Mr. J. W. 
 F. Harrison, who is in turn 
 ably supported by Miss 
 Williams, Miss Morris,

 herewith proscnt of .Mr. John Haylev, bandmaster of the Queen's Own Rifles, a position 
 which he has held since 1S70. The hand is one of the most 
 famous in Canada, .'ind its eHiciency is entirely due to this 
 jfentleman, who is as popular as he is able. Before assuming' 
 his present position .Mr. Mayley was banilmasler of I ler Majesty's 
 46th Reg-iment (Imperial .Army). .As to the elliciency of the

 Mr. Bayley is an excellent violinist and orchestral leader, 
 and li-aclies in both of these branches in the Toronto Conserva-

 originator of the celebrated .Monday popular concerts, which mr. joii.v b.wley.

 .Mk. .Aktihr Hi,.\kki.i-;v's nami- is so ilo.sely identified in the public mind with the 
 idea of particularly agreeable organ recitals given upon the line organ of the Sherbourne 
 
 Street .MethoilisI Church, that it is iliflicult to realize that 
 things were evi-r very different. .Mr. Bl.ikeley, however, is 
 a comparatively yomig man. He came of a distinguished 
 musical fam'ly in the city of Leeds, Kngland. He is one of 
 the most prominent of the younger Canadian musicians. Hi- 
 has made a specialty of church music, aiul became a prot'es- 
 sional organist at the age of twelve. He came to Canada 
 in the year 1884, ami h.is since made Toronto his home. 
 He presided for some time ;it the organ of the Church of the 
 Ascension. Subseiiuently (in i88(>) he received the appointment 
 of organist of Sherbourne Street Methodist Church, which 
 position he still oci upies. The nuisical service of this church 
 shows marked evidence of care .'ind Ihoughl, anil the attain- 
 ments of Mr. Blakelev as an organist may be judged from a reference to it. As a 
 concert organist Mr. Blakelev has been a distinguished success; his montiily recitals 
 have alwavs been well atteniU'd, and he has been a promiiuMit factor in pi>pularizing the 
 organ. Th.it he is original ai\d versatile is evident at a glanci- at any of his programmes.

 Mr. H. M. Bi-ICIIT has for many years been one of the 
 most weliome artists on the Toronto concert platform. He is 
 the happy possessor of a high baritone voice of clear ringing

 at home in oratorio or ballad singing. He is a n.-itive of 
 the old city '■•" Quebec, and received his e;irly education in 
 Canada, but afterwards studied under two famous masters, 
 Lyman Wheeler, of Boston, and Signor .Agramonte, of New 
 York. He was for over ten ye;irs choirmaster of Kim Street 
 .Methodist Church, and now occupies the same position in 
 Bloor Street Presbyterian Church, the musical services i>f 
 which are imusuallv excellent. He is conductor of the Victoria

 Mr. CiiiSKPPE A. DiNKLLi, a well-known Toronto artist, was born of Italian parents 
 in London, England, where he received his musical education, becoming an Associate ot 
 the London Academy of Music. He became well known in 
 England, having toured with many of the leading artists of the 
 day in his capacity as cello and piano virtuoso. About nine 
 years ago, Mr. Dinelli was specially engaged to come out to 
 Canada and teach piano and 'cello at the Conservatory of Music, 
 with which institution he has been ever since connected. He 
 has a large number of private pupils, apart from the institution, 
 his address being t)4 Gerrard Street East. Mr. Dinelli is an 
 artist of keen perception and rare taste, and although his spec- 
 ialty is pianoforte teaching, the general public know him more 
 through the cello, as that, being the rarer instrument, it fixes 
 the most attention. Mr. Dinelli is always one of the most welcome jierformers on our 
 concert platforms, and is personally highly esteemed among the profession tor his 
 unobtrusiveness and geniality. His special hobby is amatevn- photography, and we 
 T"ay rem.'irk here that il is one to which the musical profession seems to gravitate 
 .(uite naturally. 
 
 Mr. Eni;\R R. Dow.xrd, organist of the Broadway Tabernacle, Toronto, is beyond 
 doubt one of our ablest organists. He was born in Woicester, England, in 1850, and 
 received his early training as a chorister in Worcester Cath- ,iS5bH.,<f. 
 edral, under the celebrated Dr. Doane. .\l the early age ol 
 thirteen he was appointed organist of the Whittington Church 
 (named after the celebrated Dick Whittington, Lord Mayor of 
 London), at seventeen, organist of the St. John's Church, Wor- 
 cester, which appointment he left to take the appointment of 
 Christ Church, Ott.awa. He has also been organist (in Can.id;.) 
 of the following churches : Kingston Cathedral ; St. Peter's, 
 Cobourg ; St. James' Cathedral, Toronto ; Jarvis Street Baptist 
 church, and the Church of the .\scension, Toronto. In 
 addition to his ability as a musician, Mr. Doward is one of 
 the most affable and courteous of men. As to Mr. Dow.ird's 
 success o.? a maker 0/ organists, it is sufficient to state that twenty-one pupils o» his 
 at present occupy positions as paid organists in the Province of Ont.irio.

 .Mr. H. M. Field for piano playinjj, and miiler Mr. .Arthur E.

 several of the leadinjj churclios in Toronto, amonjfst others 
 St. James' Cathedral and tho Metropolit.'in Church ; and is a 
 member of the .\rion (Juartotte. Miss Reynolds has, however, 
 jjiven hor attention of late years exclusively to vocal toachiiijf. 
 and justly oonsiilors tho success of hor pupils her largest re- 
 commeiulHtion. Several concerts have been given oxchisiveiy 
 by Miss Reynolds' pupils, and, although these entertaiiinionls 
 were holil in tho largest halls in the city, the result was always 
 an overflow o\' tho audiencos. We mention this simply as an 
 evidence of .Miss Reynolds' groat popularity. Miss Reynolds prepares pupils speciall\' 
 for concert, church and oratorio work, and has :m evergrowing cl;iss.

 HI'-RH ate ot course many other 
 prominent musicians, a sl\etcli 
 ot" whose career we should lia\ e 
 been only too happ\- to have 
 produced. Our j^reat difficulty 
 was in securinjj;' suitable photo- 
 i^raphs tor enj^ravin^. or • of 
 s^fcurinij- them />/ time tor publication. The 
 only exception which we have made in the 
 alphabetical order is in placinj^ the larj^'e teach- 
 injf institutions and schools at the commence- 
 ment of the work, a plan which we thoui,'"ht much 
 more con\enient than any other. 
 
 We expect to issue a second and much 
 mt»re comprehensive edition at an early date. 
 In the meantime, we beij to thank the ladies 
 and jfentlemen who have so kindly assisted us 
 u'ith permission to make sketches, thus pro- 
 Jucini,' a Souvenir of a kind not before attempted 
 here, and which we feel sure will be carefulh 
 preserved as an interesting work of reference. 
 I-et us remind our readers that years hence 
 this Souvenir will undoubtedly possess a jrioater 
 value than it does now. 
 
 In ciMiclusion, let us hope that bv our 
 humble efforts we have fully established the 
 claim iM' Toninto as beinj^ pre-eminently a mus- 
 ical centre, and the home par excellence (in 
 Canada) o\ the Art Divine.

 THE musical life ot the city of Winnipeg is so largely artected by former 
 residents of Toronto, who form a large portion of the Winnipeg 
 population, that we feel it is not at all incongruous to include a few 
 sketches of its most prominent individual factors. It seems but yet yesterday 
 since Signor d'Auria and his charming wife left Toronto to take up their 
 residence in the Prairie City. They frankly expressed themselves soon after 
 their arrival there as feeling quite at home, owing to the lar^e number of 
 Ontario faces which greeted them. We are sorry that 
 we are not able to reproduce engravings of Signor and 
 Mme. d'Auria in tliis work, as they have recently 
 removed to Minneapolis, solely on the ground that it 
 atlorded a much larger field. 
 
 HKNNKHKR*.. 
 
 Mr. Pall Henneberg.— Probably the best known 
 name in musical circles in Winnipeg is that of Mr. 
 Paul Henneberg. Mr. Henneberg is a native o Germany, 
 and studied under the best masters before crossing the 
 Atlantic. He has the reputation of being one of the 
 finest ilute-players living, and was for many years solo flutist with the cele- 
 brated Mendelssohn Quintette of Boston. He was, moreover, a good, all-round 
 musician, and made his principal reputation in Winnipeg as a teacher of 
 piano and orchestral conductor. He was also the tirst musical director of the 
 Winnipeg Conservatory of Music. 
 
 ^^ - The Countess de Tersmeden.— This distin- 
 
 ^■■■1 guished artist, who has recently taken up her permarient 
 
 M^^^g^m i^iodit in Winnipeg as an exponent of the divine art, 
 
 ^Hv ^ is a Swedish lady of noble birth. She was educated 
 
 ^^.^ ^ at the Royal Academy at Stockholm, Sweden. She 
 ^ — ^ subsequently studied at Copenhagen, under the cele- 
 brated master Franz Neruda, for two years, and after 
 finishing with him left for America, taking up her 
 residence in Chicago, where for some months she was 
 continuously engaged as solo pianist at various concerts, among others having 
 the honor to frequently share the programme with the celebrated Thomas

 Orchestra. During the past two reasons the Countess de Tersmeden has 
 been travelling through the principal cities of Canada, the United States, and 
 Mexico with the celebrated Luttemann Swedish Sextette, and during her tour 
 has always met with great success, being ever regarded as the star of the 
 company. For professional reasons, this lady has 
 dropped her title in Canada, and is known in Winnipeg 
 as Miss Tersmeden. 
 
 Mr. Jos. Tees.— Although Mr. Jos. Tees is not a 
 
 professional musician, and in fact is engaged in the 
 
 more prosaic walks of business, his private attainments 
 
 as a musician and his public-spirited etlorts in the 
 
 cause of music in Winnipeg are such as to entitle 
 
 him to a very prominent niche in the mjsical annals 
 
 of Manitoba. 
 
 Mr. Tees came from Montreal to Winnipeg in 1881, and has resided 
 
 there ever since. Whilst, as above stated, he is engaged in business, he has 
 
 nevertheless devoted all his spare time promoting musical matters. In 1887 
 
 he took charge of Grace Church choir, and still retains this position. 
 
 He also organized a select choir of from forty to sixty voices, which has 
 
 been giving concerts for nine 
 years. It has been through his 
 instrumentality that Winnipeg 
 audiences have had an -r-Pt""- 
 tunity at all of hearing the great 
 artists who have from time to 
 time visited the city. That Grace 
 Church possesses one of the 
 largest organs in the Dominion 
 is entirely due to the energy dis- 
 played in the matter by Mr.Tees. 
 
 We herewith present an ex- 
 cellent cut of a most interesting 
 pioneer musical institution, the 
 Conservatory of Music at Vic- 
 toria, B.C. Such an institution 
 is the last which one would 
 expect to find in such a new 
 and sparsely - settled province, 
 and it reflects no little credit on the principal. Miss M. B. Sharp, that she 
 should have been able to successfully accomplish a result so seemingly full of 
 dit^iculties. The building is commodious and handsome, and the start large 
 
 CONSERVAIORV Ol Ml SU, VK lORIA, H. l . 
 
and capable. All branches of the musical art are taught. Victoria. B.C., is 
 reputed one of the handsomest and most progressive cities of its size in 
 Canada, and the existence, in a tlourishing condition, of an institution of 
 this kind in its midst, is a proof of it. We feel sure that Torontonians will 
 view this print with interest. 
 
 The only other digression which we shall make from our original plan 
 of having this an exclusively Toronto Souvenir is to include a brief descrip- 
 tion and tine illustration of Mount Allison Ladies' College. Sackville, N.B.

 We do this because it is one of the largest Ladies' Colleges in the Dominion 
 and posses:>es in many ways a peculiar interest for residents of Toronto, and 
 because this work is intended to give particular attention to that class of 
 institution. 
 
 It may be a surprise to most residents of Ontario, or the Western 
 Provinces, to know that one of the very largest Ladies' Colleges in Canada, 
 with one of the largest musical teaching faculties, is situated in the small town 
 of Sackville. N.B.. close to the boundary line of Nova Scotia; yet such is the 
 fact, and the Ladies' College is but a portion of a very much broader 
 
 ^^ ! 
 
institution which provides education in Arts and Divinity for young men, 
 apart from the education otTered to young ladies. 
 
 The buildings of tiie Mount Allison University are very imposing and 
 cover a great extent of ground, and only recently an Art Building has been 
 added, built in a manner worthy of cities such as Toronto or Montreal. The 
 building was designed by Mr. Edmund Burke, the eminent architect of ioronto. 
 The main building contains, on the ground floor, a large, commodious hall for 
 music recitals and concerts. A large Mason & Risch Vocalion organ and a 
 large concert -grand piano are kept in tune together for concerted work of 
 the orchestra and choral class. Two flats above contain thirty-three rooms, 
 which are used by teachers and pupils for instruction and practice. 
 
 There are thirty-two pianos in the building at the present time. 
 Besides this, there are several organs and practice claviers for the extra use 
 of pipe organ and piano pi'pils. This institution has at various times pur- 
 chased twenty-two instruments from Mason & Risch, of Toronto, which 
 speaks well for the equipment.

 These testimonials all refer to the Mason \ Riseh piano of to-dav. With four 
 oi- five exieplions. they were all reeeived hy us within the last few weeks. Please 
 note how many of the writers refer to over '• twentv vears' experience • of .Mason \ 
 Riseh pianos. I'lease observe also thai every writer is a persoti of note whose name 
 IS known to thousands and whose opinion is valuable. Thev are all voluntary tributes. 
 Together they form a wonderful testimony to tiie extraordiiiaiy way in which Mason 
 iV Riseh pianos stand in tune and resist the severest treatment. 
 
With this interesting Souvenir in hand, we 
 are in a position to call the attention of the 
 musical public to several important facts.
