EPISCOPAL CHOIR GUILD.
To Prepare for Magnificent Choral
 Festival this Fall


 Festival this Fall.
 The Choir guild of the diocese of Con- necticut met in this city last Saturday. The guild is composed of the choirs of Trinity church of New Haven, Holy Trinity of Middletown, St. Andrews of Meriden, St. Andrews of Stamford, and St. Johns of Bridgeport. These five choirs prepare the same music and the meeting was gin regard to the first fes- tival, to be given in the latter part of November at St. Johns church in Bridgeport Prof F. E. Howard of Bridgeport, director of St. Johns, will be the choir master of the festival
 According to the rules of the Episco- pal church no tickets for the festival can be sold, but any person may be- come an associate member of the guild by the payment of $1, thereby receiv- ing a membership ticket which will entitle them to admission to the festi- val Those who wish to become asso- ciate members of the guild and thus at tend the festival can do so by notifying Prof. Howard or Rev. w. Ii. Lewis, rector of St. Johns church. It is earn estly desired that very large number should hear these festivals, as they will be the product of a vast amount of la bor and rehearsal, and are calculated not only to bring out the musical tal- ents of the musicians engaging, but to decide the question of merit between these choirs which are recognized as being among the very best in the state.
 The date of the first festival has not been definitely been settled upon as yet, but as before stated, it will occur in the latter part of November.

EASTERN SECTION.

The reports are the most favor
able of any yet this season. Al
though not very warm, still 1t wa
more springlike than preceding
weeks have been.
While there was plenty of rain,
it was not in excess. The condition
of crops has been greatly advanced,
especially grain and grass. Gar
dens have improved.
A few extracts below. Report of
Pullman, by j. A. Balmer, is given
in full, as 1t covers the general con
dition of weather and crops.
Pullman-Week just past has
been a little warmer than previous
one, with frequent showers. Fall
sown grain is looking little better
and much cf it is considered fair
stand. Spring sowing is in full
blast. Earliest buds on plum and
cherry are beginning to show color,
but none are in bloom as yet. Grass
and fall sown rye have made con-
siderable progress. Gardening is
the order of the day. One thous-
and trees were planted in Pullman
on Arbor Day.
RitzviIle-Crops have begun to
grow fairly we'll.
Dayton-Favorable week. Grain
made considerable progress. Fall
grain, which seemed to be so badly
i iured by the cold spell in March,
is coming out fairly well, and it is
not injured 50 badly as thought to
be earlier
Corrello-Ground in fine condi-
ton for crops.
Palouse-Twentieth and Dist,
wonderful growth. About through
seeding.
Peone-A good week for growth.
Centerville-Most favorable week
yet. Good growth.
Latah-The improvement in
weather has given everything new
life.
Loon Lake-Rain has benefited
grass and grain.
Davenport-Warm, growing wea-
Their. Seeding nearly finished.

state for the week ending Monday,
April 81, end is based on reports
from 40 correspondents in the cas-
tern section and 50 in the western
section.
The week was warmer than the
preceding one, and, although wet IN
the western section, was on the
whole favorable to agriculture and
the best week thus far this season
The reports of the correspondents
are as a rule more hopeful, several
stating that the growth of three
DAYS duIing last week was equal to
that made during three previous
weeks.
On account ofthe nearly constant
rain in the western section planting
has been delayed; indeed, many
state that farming operations have
been practically at a stand8tllI-
farmers are taking a rest" The
soil is very wet and it will take sew
eral days of dry weather to dry it
out.
Wheat, although it has not re-
ceived enough sunshine, is reported
as looking much improved over last
week, and with warm, sunny Wea-
Their will grow rapidly. A good
stand is the general report.
The temperature has been, for
the most part, above the frost limit,
and no damage from frost has oc-
cured during last week, but there
is now no doubt that during pre-
vious weeks much injury was done
to fruits. The cold rains of the
past week have been injurious to
small fruits.
WESTERN SECTION.
There were two fine days during
the past week, the Goth and Dist,
during which all vegetation grew
vigorously. But since then there
has been almost constant cold rain,
which was very heavy on the 25th-
Both in King, Pierce and Snohom-
ish counties, an average of one and
one-half inches falling in "A hours.
Farming operations ended, practi-
cally after the 22d.
Grass is the one crop that has re-
ceived decided benefit. Wheat is
of good color and stand though it
does not grow much yet Farmers
in the Skagit country are still SOW
ing oats. In the northwest potato
planting has gone on steadily, there
having been less rain in that sec
ton. A few extracts follow:
Tacoma-Rainfall unusually hea-
Wy; temperature sufficiently warm
to keep vegetation growing But
little planting done.
Anderson-A warm rain has
started grass and vegetation Spring
work pretty nearly done.
Kalama-Rained every day last
week. Ground too wet for plant
ing Grass is the only crop that
prospers.
Mossyrock-A week of rain. Not
so cold as previous week. Grain
has made slow growth. Spring
sown wheat and oats begin to look
green.
Grand Mound--Warmer, likewise
wetter Everything growing nicely
Seeding about done on higher lands

have very little spring work done
