AriOn Society.

Grand Sacred Concert in Their New
 Quarters.
 The Arion Singing society are now well domiciled in their new fine and spacious hall in the Wood building, corner of Church and George streets, and last evening dedicated it with grand sacred concert. The interest attaching to the occasion was evinced in the presence of large audience, the hall being filled to oyerhowing. An admittance fee of ten cents was taken at the door. The pro- gramme was one refiecting credit upon the society. Some of the orchestral music was unusually good. The orchestra numbered fourteen pieces. After the concert many re- mained to take further look at the hall and it's arrangements Besides the hall, which will accommodate POO people, there is con- nected with it a rehearsal room, refreshment room and ladies' and gentlemen's retiring rooms. All the rooms are handsomely fitted up. The president of the society is MT. August Sutter, and the musical director Mir. George Feist. The society was organized not many months ago, and has had it's re- hearsal room and headquarters in the Insur- ance building, but engaged it's present quar- ters of Mir. Wood some time ago, and has had them handsomely fitted up. It is an enterprising organization, an off-shoot of the old Teutonia Mannerchor, which has it's headquarters in Germania Hall It has a large membership. and has already sung on several public occasions-once at the singing festival at Schutzen Park, and again at Carll's Opera House at the time of the band concert there. Tonight the society gives a grand dedication ball at it's hall. The indica- tions are that it will be very fully attended.
