THE CHORAL SOCIETY.
school Children TO Have an 0ppor-
tunity of Hearing the "Messiah.v


A step has been taken by the Choral So
ciety that, as a means for the popularixa-
ton of good music. is almost without .
parallel. Two thousand tickets for the COM
ing performance of the Messiah" were ten
dered to Superintendent Powell to be issued
to pupils in the public schools at the norni-
nal price of - cents. These tickets are ex-
changeable at Metzerotts for 50-cent re-
served seats without extra charge. Mr..
Powell was. enthusiastic in his expression OF
interest. You are doing a great work In
helping the cause OF education. thank you
TO- 1t, and will go hand in hand with you"
were his words in conversation with MI.
Daniel. the president of the society.
The Choral Society has secured the very
best soloists available. Mrs. Genevra John
stone-Bishop, the soprano is very well
known. and her work in the Messiah" has
been very highly commended. Mr.. McKin-
ley, the tenor. received a cordial welcome
at the last Worcester festival Miss Ger
t-ude Ednonds. contralto. and Mr.. Erickson
Bushnell, basso.are so well known here that
they need no Introduction.
In order to secure the solid financial back
ing necessary to complete success. the
Choral Society has started an honorary
membership list. The response has been
the case. There is no reason why the
Choral Society should not be made a per-
manent institution. The following is a par
tial list OF those who have lent their aid TO-
ward the accomplishment OF this end:
