Choral Union Festival Notes.

1t is hoped that our townspeople will
plan to attend the festival next week.
The society have assumed quite an un-
dertaking, and if they meet with the dis
couraging financial returns they have in
past years it is hardly to be expected
that they will care to attempt another
festival If any one has friends out Of
town who sing it will be coed time to
invite them to make visit and join the
chorus.
In, committee have invited some
singers to aid them in the festival for
whom they would like entertainment.
If any are disposed to help the Assoca-
tion in this way will they please send
their names to W. c. Tyler, chairman OF
the entertainment committee, stating
how many they will accommodate.
Remember that Miss Craft, Mr.. Towne
and DR.. Duff will be here for the matinee
Thursday afternoon, May 18th.
Miss H. Julia Cross of Montpelier has
consented to sing at the Thursday after.

be great number with Miss Craft, Mrs

Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise" to bt
given next week is a work of exceptional
beauty and is rarely given except by the
larger choral. societies. 1t is shor
work but has some extremely difficul
choruses. The chorus "The night is de
parting" is triumphant and grand. equa
to the "Hallelujah" chorus in the Mes

SOusa and his Band.

A London manager recently made
muni6cent offer for Sousa to come to
London and play six weeks, beginning in
May. A Berlin manager wanted Sousa
and his band for a protracted series Of
concerts in that city alone. These offers
have necessarily been held in allegiance,
subject to engagements in this country,
which are often made year or more in
advance. E, r. Reynolds, Sousa s mana
ger, is now completing arrangements for
a European tour of large dimensions in
the year 1900, which will include the
most of Europe, and also the Paris expo
sition. The band will be increased to 60
for the tour. Therefore America is likely
to be without Sousa for at least portion
OF next year. The appearance Of Sousa
and his band at Music Hall, Wednesday
evening, May "a, is of especial interest
and Importance. Miss Maud Reese
Davies, soprano, and Miss Dorothy
Hoyle, violiniste, will be the soloists and
Sousa will also give his new march,
