WASHINGTON MUSICAL AssEMRLY.-Thisi is
the title of new musical society just started
by our Navy Yard friends. The organization
numbers some fifty members, and applications
are rapidly coming In from those desiring to
join. The officers elected for the present term
are-Dr. Chas. W. Davis, president; John M.
Mcfarland, conductor; Thos E Clarke, sec.
rotary; John Griffin, treasurer. We at
tended the rehearsal on Monday evening last,
and was agreeably surprised to find that the
people of that section are so far advanced in
this delightful art. Several choruses were sung
with great precision and fine effect, and the
| qusrtettes and duets gave evidence of the
| musical abilities of the ladies and gentlemen
| composing the society. The existence of the
new association will fill want long existing
in that section of the city, and prove an agree
able source of enjoyment, not only to,those
engaged therein, but to our citizens generally.
