tors.
 The second last rehearsal of the Gounod society was fully attended last evening with considerable sprinkling of visitors, The choruses were sung with unusual enthusiasm, MT, Agra monte particularly compllmenting the passes on their good showing,
 MT DeForest, the president announc- cd the soloists for the coming perform ance. Alto Miss Gertrude May Stein, who has been very favorably received in New Haven before; tenor MT. Bar ron Berthold, who has won fame on the operatic stage, and will no doubt make a hit as Samson; baritone, MT. Heinrich Mayn, who was well received here once before some years ago; Mir. Herbert Witherspoon, who will be well comed in the bass part by his many New Haven friends.
 The advance sale of tickets for the performance on March A begins on Tuesday morning, when subscribers and guarantors can obtain their tickets. On Wednesday morning the general sale to the public begins. Contrary to the former custom of the society there will be no public rehearsal on the af- ternoon of March A.
 MT DeForest made full statement to the society in regard to the much discussed conflict with the proposed opera performance on the 25th By an unfortunate misunderstanding the di- rectors of the Gounod society were led to believe that the 24th was the date free from competition with other musi- cal attractions, In this they now find themselves mistaken, but do not under take to blame anyone for the appear ance of a rival. It is too late to change the date now, as all preparations for the performance are complete The so- ciety confidently expects to make a hit with Samson and Delilah," which MT. Agramonte characterized last evening as much greater musical production than even the favorite "Armlnius" of last season. In fact he stated that New Haven would never have chance of hearing a greater work,
