THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETY.

. Last night the annual festival of this society took
-place - the- George Hotel, Alclarmanbury. The
president, • J. -Gi lard, Esq., • occupied the chair,
supported by Mr. Haynes, the vice-president, and
the leading members of the bociety. The tables
were beautifully decorated with ,flowers. A hand-
some dinner, which embraced all the delicacies of
the season, having been discussed, the President
gave the usu d loyal toasts, which were very
loyally responded.to. In proposing the toast of
the evening, " Success to the Excelsior So2ciety,"
he said it was highly gratifying to find that Suc-
cess aril prosperity still attended their society;
:h. it members had increased.aud so had their reserve
fund. Tbe great object the society had in Was
the extend.ng and cultivating a taste for pure aud
beautiful melody, and it was satisin,oto,:y to find
their exertions had been highly appreciated. He
felt extremely pleated at the results that had
attended the society ft•oal year to year, as it froved
the simple b.uuties of Ca; City Ex..1.:1,i)e far out.-
rival° those offere Iby other pl‘x ,s where vu ,:arity,
and he was afraid he might s iy &nnethiag worse ,vere

the chief actrac:ious. Their success, he wz-.s sure,
would be the means of inducing the f,rmation of
new societies similar to their own, and he was sure
they would all feel pleased to see the obj Jet for
which th.s members of the Excelsior had banded them-
selves together to extend itself, as it would prove
most conclusively that good taste was in the ascen-
dant. (Cheers.) They had a very excellent exe-
cutive committee and an indomitable secretary—
(cheers)--and with these strong supports there was
every prospect of the Excelsior becoming that which
he most strongly desired—namely, a great society.
The toast was enthusiastically responded to. "The
executive committee and the hon. secretary" was the
next toast, and Mr. Hatch returned thanks. He said
he could not say how gratifibd he felt at the suc-
cess that had attended their society; it was one of
his pet objects, and he could only say whilst he
possessed the confidence and good wishes of the
members he should think his toil for the Excelsior a
pleasure. (Cheers.) The "Health of the Chairman"
was proposed in very neat terms by Mr. Haynes,
and, in aekuowledging the compliment, the Chair-
man said he thanked them all very much for their
kindness, and he should look forward to their re-
assembling in September next with the greatest in-
terest and delight. During the evening Mr. 11.
Gillard, Mr. Frankland, and several other members
sang some of their best songs, and Mr Hidden ren-
dered the evening still more pleasurable by his ex-
cellent pianoforte playing.
