MUSICAL MATTERS.

For a long time past a feeling of discord
has existed among the ranks of the Schubert
Glee Club. Look at the question whichever
way one could, it seemed inevitable that q
schism would render the body of this most
excellent society. Just precisely what tho
cause of the trouble was does not appear, and
indeed, no one seems to know exactly what
are the seeds of dlssension. They were
trivial, it is true, but they might grow and
become anything but a ~"quantite negilge-
able" The older and more experienced
heads in the club felt that something must
be- done or else the Schubert Glee Clu
would pass away, but whats?
Finally after much thought and consulta-
ton with the majority of the charter menu
bers. it was decided to organize the club
under the laws of the State of New Jersey.
This was lone on Thursday, when, with
Senator William Brinkerhoff. the certificate
of organization was drawn up, filed with the
County Clerk and also with the Secretary of
State. ~

safely avoided the Scylla n yGhaTyb9i
situation they have endured for she pasffwo
wears. On The one hand hereaxistadfdis-
solution, on the other everlasting discord
and unpleasantness. This act of the older
members is simply to preserve the autonomy
of the club; simply to protect the large body
of subscribers who have hitherto placed
their confidence and their dollars in the club
and who have a prescriptive right In the as

promises, which by the continuance of the
old regime would inevitably have precipi-
tated O failure
AS for the members who have hitherto
not been in harmony with the majority OF
the club, the door is now open to enter and
match up old scores. The club will only be
changed so far as the officers are concerned,
and this must necessarily follow by the legal
requirements Of an incorporated company.
The announcement of the organization will
be made this evening at the annual meeting,
when it is hoped that the entire body OF the
club will perceive the wisdom OF the course
