THE REALM OF MUSIC.
Everything Points to the Sue

Opera Company.
Christ Church Choir to OFF,
eiate at Minnetonka This
Nor ming.
Musical People Of Note Who
Are Absent on Their
Vacations.
People and Events of Interest
to the Local Musical
World.

The interes being taken by the mu-
steal people of the city in the projected
amateur opera company is intense, and
if the company, when formed and in
working order, is not paying one. it
will not be from lack of public interest
or patronage. A large number of lady
vOcaliSts we'll known in musical circles
of the city, have announced their in
tentiOn of cooperating to their utmost
ability with the projectors of the new
musical organization to sec ure its sue
cess. A large proportion of the ladies
and gentlemen who are expected to be-
come members of the company are still
absent from the city, enjoying the
beauties of the summer season at the
away as Boston and New York city,
spending their summer vacations.
These, however, will return when the
leaves begin to turn, and the business
of organization will be entered into with
the Zest born of the near approach of
the musical season. Manager Scott, of
the Newmarket theater, who will as
sumo managerial control of the COM
pany, speaks with the greatest conf
dence of it's future, and thinks that
with such an array of vocal talent as
can be culled from the home musical
circle, the result could be but a sue
cess
Just at present there is little or moth
ing doing in the musical line i'll st.
Paul. Everyone is bent OH recreation,
and the lakes and summer resorts gen.
orally are the gamers The Christ
church choir, however, which has
defied the heat and stood by its
guns during the torrid summer months
is now making preparations for trip to
Lake MinnetOnka, for which place the
members will depart next Sunday. A
grand service will be held in the rO-
tunda of the Hotel Lafayette on Sunday
morning, conducted by Bishop Gilbert.
The choir Will be assisted by Prof.
Thiel's orchestra, of Milwaukee, and
the vocal portion of the service will be
of the grandest character. Things at
Christ church will be somewhat altered,
aud the absence of the choir from its ac-
custoined hauntS will effect transform
alton in the style of the services. The
temporary absence OF the choir, how
ever, will enhance the appreciation in
which it is held by the regular attend
ants at the church.
Prof. Hans Jung, the celebrated tenor
singer from Berlin, will give the Offer
tory in Christ church this morning, and
the music will be excellent. The ''Te
Deum" in E fiat will be sung at morn
ing service, also "Resurrection."
Among the musical folks who are out
of the city are Mrs. l.. B. Erwin and
Miss Mott, the former having gone Oil a
visit to her parents in DecOrah, To-, and
the latter for visit to friends in New
York city.
Miss Hutchinson. of violin fame, is IN
Boston, and will not return for several
weeks, and Miss Wilson. member of
the St. Paul Ladies' quartette, is study
ing rustic beauty at Omaha, Neb.
Mrs. H. w. Eddy, o:ganist of the
First M. E. church choir. has been very
i'll during the past week, but has now
somewhat improved, and will. it is
hoped, be completely cOnvalescent in a
few days.
Miss Curtis, of the House of Hope
choir, has tired of the rural idea and
returned from the lakes yesterday.
A. E. Whitney, who has been for
several weeks SOjOurner in Cleveland,
o., has returned home. and is ready for
the business of the coming season.

furnished the muSic-lOving public rich

sion of Prof. 7. B. BrOOke'S benefit at
