The Fesfival-Ss cond Day.

There were three rehearsals held
during Tuesday, under the direction of
Carl Zerrahn. The attendance was not
as large as the committee had reason to
anticipate, but was more than respecta-
BILE. The attendance from out of town
was also less than had been expected,
but the number yet to come, who have
signifed their intention so to do, is quite
large The rehearsals and concerts, to-
day, WILL no doubt, be attended by
much larger number of vocalists than
those of yesterday. The soloists con-
tiDue to arrive, the following being the
names of prominent musicians, who ar
rived Yesterday Mrs. Van Zandt, S.
c. Moore, A. J. Phillips, Franz Rem
mertz, John V. Hall and E. II. Higley.
The morning rehearsal, yesterday, was
opened at 10 o'clock by singing ''The
morning light is breaking" with accom-
paniment on the organ by J. B. Halfway,
followed by an impressive prayer by
Rev. DR.. Harris, rector of Trinity
church. After practice by the chorus
of number of the difficult pieces. Nine.
De Ryther, who was in the hall, sang,
in connection with them, CLEAR my
Prayer" 1t is an exquisite piece of
music and, as sung by Nine De Ryther,
is very impressive. 1t is, also, part of
the programme fer this evening. The
afternoon rehearsal began at half-past
two, and, after the chorus had been
drilled for some time, by Mr.. Zerrahn,
Nine. De Ryther again sung, in connec-
ton with the chorus, Clear my Prayer"
The chorus then took up the practice
alone and sung until half-past four, when
a recess was taken until evening.
The evening rehearsal opened with
Hear My Prayer by the chorus, &C
companied by Nine. DeRyther, and after
singing a number of the most difficult
pieces, Mr. RemmertZ accompanied them
in the ''Stabat Mater" Mr.. Remmertz
has a very full, rich, melodious voice,
and we predict for this gentleman a
hearty reception on this his first appear
ance before Vermont audience.
Among the wholesome regulations
adopted for the government of the mu-
steal festival is one that will commend
itself to the reason of the thinking mem
bers, both of the audience and chorus.
The entrance doors will positively be
promptly closed at the hour for begin
ming the performance OF each matinee
and concert, and no person will be adj
mitted until the conclusion of the piece
then being performed. Persons desiring
to leave the auditorium will not be per-
mitted to do so, except during the inter
walls between the pieces. This custom
has become general in all the first-class
concert rooms of the cities and large
towns in Europe and our own country.
At the urgent request of parties out OF
town, as we'll as those holding season
tickets, the management have deter
mined to reserve a limited number of the
choicest seats for the Thursday and Fri
day evening concerts. The reserved
seats will cost % cents extra, and will
be for sale only at the box office, in the
Town Hall, commencing each day at 8
O'Clock a. m, and continuing during the
day till p. IN.
