The Choral Union.

Choral union rehearsas will be
held Saturday and Monday evenings
preparatory to the production of THE
Holy City, next Wednesday evening
at the auditorium. There is a chorus
of more than 100 voices. Some splen-
did work has been done under Mr..
Hawey's able leadership. The results
which will be reached this season.
however, are looked upon only as be-
ginning of still better things, for the
aim of the choral society is to cult
vate IN the town love and apprecia
ton of noble music to do in smaller
way what the great music festivals do
in Cincinnati, Worcester and Spring
field. The first part of the program
Wednesday night will be composed of
solos, duets and glees; the second part
will be THE Holy City. =" In addi-
ton to our local talent of Mrs. Hub
bard, Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Brasor and
others. Mr.. Mortimer Howard, a noted
singer of Springfield will take the ten
or solos. A harpist from Boston has
been engaged to play the important
and beautiful portions of the cantata
written especially for the harp. Tick
cts which have been put at a very low
figure will be for sale Monday at Fox's.
