collapse of the ''city council quartet,

hcient practice, and the sickness of
1.-The mayor who got out of bed to
help out, and because of the hurry
necessarily occasioned by the advent
of Lent. AS to the failure later of the
male ensemble 10 cover themselves
with glory, Mrs. Nabb says she would
have cut that part out had she known
that several singers who appeared at
the last rehearsal and were expected
to appear on the night of the perform
ance, were to fail her at the last mo-
ment. Thus handicapped, the singers
Sailed out dtsheartened,t to do or die
and it may be to their credit that they
did both. Moreover, Mrs. Nabb states
that Mr.. .Ames had a dreadful cold, so
that he really did not know whether he
would fetch up standing from one note
to another, and each bar became a
wall to be leaped over. He did his
level best. Then DR.. Mouagin had
only two days to learn his part, and
others were about as fortunate. But
for the coming of Lent, the perform
ance would have been set ahead one
week.
