With Few Exceptiols They
Have Begun Their Work
for the Season.

THE EXCELLENT SCHUBERTS

With a few exceptions the musical
societies of Jersey City begin their work
for the approaching winter season. The
Schuberts opened their doors on Monday
night. a full account OF which appeared
III there columns the day following. The
manner In which the members read the
committees selections speaks volumes
for the high degree of training attained
by the club. Not all the music was
selected, but on Monday next Mr.. Victor
Baier will probably BE- able to add the
requisite number for the first concert.
The Schubert Giee Cluo has Often been
criticized, of course III a friendly spirit,
for It's MISREPRESENTATION. IL has
been repeatedly urged that so excellent
a club might d charity to It's many lr-

this city worthy OF huanci Il help, and no

Among the few members Of the club
who insist on musical progression In
other senses of the WORD. Mr.. Frederick
T.. Morse, the worthy treasurer OF the
club, is an ardent advocate Of this plan
of infusing into the clubs life q little
more "Zaitgelst-'
That he is right in his contention that
that the Schuberts you'd benefit by this
departure is shown by a peruSal of the
financial statement prepared and now
being circulated by him. Ia that season
when the club failed to keep its promise
to give charity concerts the receipts fell
of TO an alarming extent. Since mauy
of the subscribers directly or indirectly
are connected with the charitable insti-
buttons of Jersey City, apart from any
other reason, it o be good policy TO
devote one concert at least, per season TO
the aid ard cause of these Institutions.
