PERSONAL. -
! In another column OF this paper m exhaustive
article upon tho German singing societies is
printed in which is briefly announced the reor-
ganization Of the Chicago Liederhanz, and an
invitation from many Of the leading Germans Of
| this city to 11r. Ba1atka to come here and take
| charge OF it. We have the best authority
| for saying that tho scheme contemplates
| also the organization OF q frat-class Or
! chest1a. Mr. Balatka is now in Milwaukee at
| the head OF q very hourishing society, but his
predictions are in favor Of this city. He has
| the invitation under consideration. Should he
| accept it, he will be sure to meet with very
| warm welcome. .
MUSICAL GOSSIP.
| A private letter from Alr. Harry Gates, for
merly well known as tenor here, and now
studying in Boston, contains some interesting
musical gossip. Mr. Gates says:
have attended one TWO 1ehearsals Of the Apollo
Club and md them located in elegant granite front
On fremont street. The rooms and appointments arc
elegant. The Club Ia supported BY wealthy assocate
numbers and they are yary strict with active mem-
bers in regard to rehearB2ls having lately dropped
from the roils several Of leading 2sngas
parison. and, while they have SONS individual voices

It will please Mr. Gates' friends in this city tc
know that he ID singing in the choir OF st. Paulf
Church, which is led by Dudley Buck, and thai

pays him the following compliment:

Mr. Harry Gates, is one OF great promise. His voice

| OF the effect OF the Cincinnati Festival upon
| the Germans. tho following extracts from two Of
| the leading German papers in this country bear
| important Witness The 4Vestliche Post corre-
| spondent says:
The Germans have not, so far, u: least, as have
been able to judge OF tho somewhat mixed state Of
Affairs, taken SO active pnrt In the Festival as they
should have done, and esecta1ly during the first few
| days after my arrival heard in German circles
ans dancs Of mace ts now hat he

will result from this American victory to the dlettante
life Of the German societies, reaction by the wny
nati societies, but ess ali the singing societies
in the Wea and, with but few exceptions, those Of the
East also.
Hans Balatka. the correspondent Of the Iui-
rois -Zeilung. who repr~aented that paper
at Cincinnati, wrote
Compare the zeal, which the chorus-singers dis
played at this festival and which induced them to rn-
dergo Tue labor Of eight large p to ssy

these nes could name some Of the societies belonging
to the North American anngerbnna who had no
idea, for instance, Of tho difficult nature Of the

our German art heroes snail be interpreted better by
other nationalties than by German singers them
