THE SAINT GERvAIs SINGERS.

One of the most picturesque of the monuments
reproduced from the medieval city in the portion
of the Fxposition called Vieux Paris is the church
of Saint Julien des Menetriers which the
meeting place of the musical guilds OF France at
a time when professional musicians throughout
the ewes of the law. In this picturesque little
chapel the Chanteurs de Saint Gervais give
certs of sacred music every afternoon. The con-
certs are a singuarly serious sort OF entertain
ment TO offer the careless visitors to Old Paris
and the contrast between the solemn service within
and the motley rout without Is exceedingly strtk-
ing vet goodly number OF persons generally
gather TO hear the music, especially on Sundays
and the programmes lofty and dlgnihed to
degree. The capella masters of the sixteenth
consideration, and modern composers are not
neglected. The mission OF the Chantsurs de Saint
Gervais IS like that OF the Musical Art Society In
New York and the first motet that heard sung
by them was which IS In the repertory OF that
society namely Vittoria's 20 magnum mys-
terium." Alas. for the expectations which had
cherished entering the chapel The score OF

wholly fictitious Not for moment did the choir

An Adverse Report.

Mr. Walter C. Allen, electrical engineer
for the District. has submitted an adverse
report to the Commissioners on the petition
of residents near the intersection of Az
street and Maryland avenue southwest, ask
ing for the removal of the police patrol box
now located at the corner above referred
to. The petition stated that the patrol box
was obnoxious in that at the time of ar
rests a large number of people congregate,
and by their boisterous conduct create
scenes ard noises. A location facing a pub
lie park was suggested for the change Mai.
Sylvester stated that while the change was
not desirable from police standpoint he
would be pleased to conform TO the wishes
of the people of the locality. Mr.. Allen
states that after careful consideration of
the matter he does not recommend the re-
moval of the patrol box. In order to put ii
al the point of the public reservation at Sd
street and Maryland avenue, as suggested
by Lieut. Hollinberger, it would require the
erection # a pole at that point and the
stringing of additional wire increasing the
span between poles from seventy-five feet
a IL is at present, to over 80 feet.
