Volume 103 — Suggestions for New Musical Publications.
Reading edition
A Companion to The Stars of Normandy, to be entitled, The North Pole-Star (the words by Cold-Wetherby), to be sung by Charles Very Chilley. If sung at St. James's Hall, admission generally, one shilling. Freeze-seats, nothing.

As a companion to "Come Dance the Romaika," will be published, "Come Read the Romeike," set up and composed by the Press Cutting Agency.
