There is a movement on foot in Jersey
City to start a Philharmonic Society,
composed of mixed VOICES. Several at
tempts have been made but somehow
the schemes failed. Only last winter one
was begun, but the ATTEMPT of an obscure
individual to advertize. himself through
its medium knocked the breath out of the
plan. A few gentlemen competed with
a downtown church nave called a meet
ing to be held e "wednesday evening
at the residence of one of them. Fearful
lest the plan should not succeed, they
INSIST that their names be kept secret.
In due season the society will be organ
lied. MI. Louis R. Dress1er, it IS under
stood, viii be requested to take the lea
dership. The object of the new society
will be oratorio work.
