(By "Tret>le-Clef.") The Cherniavskys. Those talented musicians the Cherniavskys commence their tour of New Zealand on Easter Saturday. They are to give thirty concerts only in New Zealand (two in Wellington on May 12 and 14), and some 25 in Australia, as. they are due to return to America in July, having been booked by Messrs. Ansell and Jones for a comprehensive tour of the States during next season. It will interest many to learn that there is not a grain of truth ill the report that Mr. Leo Cherniavsky had married the dancer. Miss Maud Allan. .There has, however, been a marriage in the family. The youngest member of the trio, Mischel (the 'cellist) discovered his fate in Miss Mary Rogers, daughter of the wealthy Mr. T. B. Rogers, of Victoria, a gentleman with big sugar plantation interests at Fiji. Indeed, it was on the Niagara, going from Suva to Vancouver, that they first met, only to become tho merest acquaintances at that time. Then they met again in New York. Mrs. Cherniavsky is coming to New Zealand with her husband. The Cherniavskys have made Victoria their home. On the shores of the Sound they have secured a beautiful residence, and there they have, established their "parents (from Russia) and young sister. Before they finally leave New Zealand! it is their intention to give a concert for patriotic purposes in Wellington. Tho manager on the present occasion is Mr. Geo. Scullyi an . Englishman with an American education. He is a brother of Mr. Howard Edie, concert manager.

Notes. ■ 1 Lovers of classical music will be interested to learn that Mr. Bernard Page is to play Cesar Franck's. "Symphony" again this evening. His reading of this great work created admiration at a recent recital in tho Town Hall. 4 ••• . .
