SUNDAY REHEARSAL.
During yesterday morning, from o'clock until
halt-past 4, the New Assembly Rooms were crowded
with about three hundred or more singers, engaged
IN rehearsal OF the various pieces to be sung in
public on the occasion of the great concert For
the convenience of the guests a music committee
OF Messrs V. Buschman, Forsitzer, j.
Galster, Z. Herzer, y. Gessler, and the music di-
rector, Professor Charles Lenschow were in attend
ance, and materially aided in bringing about the
course of the strangers with the Baltimore singers
Under the direction CT Professor Lenschow, the
rehearsal went off with the utmost satisfaction.
number OF pieces were sung, with force and man
ner such as has seldom been equaled and never
surpassed in this city. The large saloon in which
the rehearsa-s took place was, however, too small
to allow as forcbe an impression to be made by the
singing as it would if repeated in a larger room.
When the rehearsal was over the guests were
taken in charge each by his personal friends, and
the remainder of the day passed in looking at the
city and participating in the various amusements,
offered by the numerous suburban retreats
AT 8 o'clock this morning all the singers will
meet at the headquarters, and after forming in
procession, march through several of the principal
streets to Front Street Theatre for another rehear
sal. After the rehearsal grand procession will
take p ace from Front Street Theatre, and pass
through to Baltimore street, High, Lombard, Fred
erick, back to Baltimore, to Calvert, Lexington,
to Paca, thence to Pratt, to Sharp, and Baltimore
to Hanover streets, to the New Assembly Rooms.
At 7 o'clock in the evening the singers will meet
again, and in procession proceed to Front street,
where the great concert will be given and with it
close the days proceedings.
