I desire to write for The Ledger and w ill you be so kind a^ to aollw me to do so? I believe you will, so I am sending you a letter. I feel that you will treat me fairly with re ference to all that I write for your paper. I can write news items, gen eral comment on topics of common interest, magazine reviews and book notices. And while I will, of course, want what I write printed, I will al ways recognize your right, as editor, to revise my manuscript. But before I proceed further, I suppose I should introduce myself.

Otherwise we should not have been able to procure Mr. Perry at all, since every other date during his entire tour was filled. Will Brin a His Own piano. Mr. Perry carries with him and in advance of him, a staff of five or six men. He sends an advance agent ahead to make arrangements for his concerts, employs a press agent and treasurer, and carries a stenographer. But most important of all is his piano agent, for Mr. Perry insists above all else on being sure of having the best l>ossihle instruments for every one of his concerts. For this reason he is obliged to carry a concert grand piano with him from town to town. It is also necessary to engage the ser vices of a man whose duty it is to see that this piano is properly boxed, expressed, carried to the concert hall, set up and tuned at each place before the concert. So Gaffney will not only be sure of having a remark able pianist here, but will also have the satisfaction of knowing that he will be heard on one of the finest pianos made,—a concert grand con structed by the Knabe Piano Com pany especially for Mr. Perry. A Pupil Of Great Masters. Mr. Perry’s first studying was done under Junius Hill, of Wellesley Col lege, Massachusetts, but he soon de cided that European study was a necessity, and he went abroad, and was fortunate in being taken into the classes of Clara Schumann, wife of the great master Schumann, and her self one of the greatest teachers of piano.. But it was when he was finally able to procure instruction un der the great Franz Liszt himself that Mr. Perry felt absolutely satisfied. He is perhaps the only pianist of American birth now before the pub lic who can claim to have been a pu pil of the great Liszt for several years. Lecture-Recital. On his final return to this country Mr. Perry entered a field of work that was at that time entirely unique. Realizing that music, especially piano music, w^s held in light esteem by a large part of the public, and that the student and the musical amateur had few opportunities to get down to the real meaning of things musical, he outlined the plan of the lecture-re cital. That this has been a valuable addition to the features of musical education and enjoyment, is proven by the fact that nearly every pianist who can muster a command of good English,—as well as a good many passengers. who cant,—has felt called uponto Mr E Q Smith thirty-seven years come before the public n the capacity , o . ^ died in Columbia la8t Friday< of a lecturer.
