The Schubert Glee Club will wind up its
1S93-94 season with a dinner in the Hotel
Washington on Monday evening, May Z.
On that occasion there will be prominent
orators of the county to response to the sew
eral toasts. Before the dinner, however,
there will be a rehearsal open to subscribers
only, at which glees and secular works will
be sung. This will take place OF April 30.
A month later the members will get together
for the annual meeting.
It will be gratifying to every well wisher
of the club that its financial status Is in an
excellent condition. There is a great future
before the club.
Instead of the customary lunch given to
the ladies of the Melopoeia Society at the
close of the seasons work, a reception will
be given. Mrs. Henry E. Niese, first vice
president, will entertain the member at her
house on Jersey avenue sometime in the
latter part of May. The annual meeting
will probably take place on the same even
ing. At present there seems to be no indi-
cation to change the officers. They suit the
society, and the latter has unquestionably
benefited by the attention given to its work
by these officers, who will be neglected.
Mr.. George T. Smith, President; Mrs. II. E.
Niese, First Vice President; Miss Maude R.
Brett, Second Vice President: Mr.. Theodore
w. Kennedy, Secretary and Treasurer;
Mrs. VIM. A. Durrie, Jr., Corresponding

tute Hall. Miss Victor Baier. Gustave l..
Becker, H. L. Case and a prominent pupil
will render the principal solos. If Mr.. Vic
tor Baier can lick the school glee club into
shape, probably that embryo Schubert Club
will sing something.
