The tour will begin Oct..25 with the _ first of three “Beethoven evenings” . in Town Hall, New York, in which, - with the French pianist, E. Robert ~ Bchmitz, he is to present the 10 ~ Beethoven violin sonatas on successive Sundays. It is unfortunate for Mr. Brown's | many friends and admirers in the
