THE EVENING NEWS.
CHORAL SocIErY.-This musical asso-

third story of the Court House building
On B street, Virginia City, and already
numbers fifty ladies and gentlemen as
members. The music books used are
the "Opera" and the "Sacred Chorus"
books. We understand the quali6ca-
ton Of membership to be, ability to
read p~sslmody with facility, and to be
vouched for by some active member.
The rehearsals are very interesting and
attract much attention, in fact they are
equal to 6rst-class concerts. The So
ciety is entirely devoted to the cultiya-
ton Of correct musical taste, and per-
fectness in v~ocalizstion. Its tendency
is to raise the standard Of excellence in
Church Choirs and Musical Clubs, and
its influence is already felt. All who
desire to join can present their names at
any regular rehearsal.
