 At the exercises to be held Friday afternoon at the Hyperion in honor of the anniversary of the birthday of Washington a chorus of about 150 voices, selected from the senior and junior classes of the High school, will render several patriotic songs, one of which was written expressly for the celebration of 1895. Prof. Benjamin Jepson will be the conductor, with Mir Charles R. Fowler accompanist The solo of Red, White and Blue" will be sung by Miss Emile Neebe '95, H. H. S., who is the class soloist.
 The committee in charge of the exer- cises has been very fortunate in secur- ing Mrs. Sherwood s. Thompson for the principal soloist. At the special request of the ladies of Mary Clapp Wooster chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, she will sing a song found in an old manuscript and which has not been sung for over half century. Mrs. Thompson will sing "The Star Spangled Banner Following the GUS tom established by the Loyal Legion the audience will stand during the singing of our national song and will remain standing until the benediction has been pronounced by Rev. s. D. Phelps, D. D.
 MT. c. H. Mann will sing "The Sword of Bunker Hill" by the request of General Daniel Humphrey branch, Sons of American Revolution. His many friends will be glad to have an oppor- tunity to hear New Haven's favorite baritone.
 Every person who is to attend the ex- ercises is requested to bring small United States flag and wave it during the singing of the chorus of "The Star Spangled Banner" Other features in connection with this solo will make 1t fitting finale for the celebration.
 It has been a long time since Willis G. CParson'O Isbell has given one of his inimitable recitations. He has as- sured the committee that he will be present and do what he can to further the interest of the occasion.
 Those who attend the exercises at the Hyperion last year will remember what an attractive number or the program was Dr. Cargill's crayon talk in regard to our nations heroes. He will give something of the same kind Friday af- ternoon.
 Mayor A. c. Hendrick will be the pre- siding officer. Chaplain J. E. Twltchell will make the opening prayer. Hon. Herbert F. Benton willrsneak In regard to the lessons suggested by the event of the day. while Rev, Edwin M. Poteat will make a short address on the sub ject, "True Patriotism"
 The exercises will begin promptly at ? o'clock. Every society IS expected to be in their seats fifteen minutes before that hour The seats in the orchestra and orchestra circle will be reserved for the different societies Tickets for the rest of the house have been issued and divided among the contributors to the funds of the celebration and among the societies Seats will not be held for those who have tickets after ten to two. After that time the vacant seats may be occupied by those not holding tickets. It is hoped that the latter will not come to the Hyperion much before that time, as 1t will be inn possible to seat them.
 The citizens are invited to make a display of flags and bunting With good weather the prospects are that the day will be more generally ob- served than ever before.
