The New York Times In its last Sum
days issue, had an article on the Garden
City choir boys, and among the illustra-
tions accompanying the article was cut
to be likeness OF the Rev. w.
r. Bird, who, as divinity student, Off
c1ated one summer in st. Johns church.
Mr.. Bird is how precentor OF the cathe-
dral OF Garden City and the article says OF
Rev. W. p. Bird is the precen-
tor OF the Garden City cathedral. The
precentor in a choir is the singing clergy
man. He leads the services and the choir
responds. He is, therefore, very impor.
lanu factor in the singing. Mr.. Bird is a
short young man, with smooth .shaven
lace and light complexion. His tenor
voice is splendidly adapted for his calling;
Tor his lightest effort makes it heard In
any part OF the cathedral, and it is always
IN absolute time. In addition TO being
one of the best precentors in the country,
he is also an excellent ,preacher. The first
orecentor OF the cathedral choir was the
Kew. Frank Langdon HUMPHREYS, who oc-
,upied the position from 1885 to 1889. He
vas succeeded by the Rev. W. Tracy, after
whom came the present incum bent, Rev.
Mr.. Bird. The choir is now busy prepar.
ng for the greaG festival OF the choir guild {

AXE place November 10Th in St. Luke's
