The Choral Society.

At the last rehearsal of the Choral So
Getty the numbers from Aida" and Cav
alleria Rusticana" were taken up, and next
Monday a beginning will be made on die
Meistersinger," the last number, not yet
practiced. The society has taken in as
active members a number Of so.oists from
our church choirs, the latest acquisition
being Miss Dobbins, the soprano Of Incar-
nation Church. At the regular meeting Of
the board of managers, held Thursday even
Ing at Miss Leavitt's studio on Vermont
avenue, there was a full attendance. Vice
President Bernard r. Green could not at
tend, being absent at the Harvard alumni
banquet, and Treasurer Meade and Mrs.
Patten We're also absent, but the following
King, Prof. H. M. Paul, Messrs Thomas p.
Woodward, r. NJ. Mckee, Charles s. Alb
bolt, Chas. L. Pollard. Edwin A. Hill. Mrs.
Chas. s. Heitinger and Misses Amy c..
Leav1tt, Lillian A. Norton and Marie A.
kuhnel. The engagement of soloists for
the operate concert was the business Of
chief Importance. 1t is probable that among
the six soloists called for by the program
VIII be either Miss Susan Strong or Miss
Ielie de Lussan, soprano prima donnas of
the Grau Opera Company; Miss Mary Hell
en- Howe, soprano, and Mr.. Myron w.
Whitney, jr., basso. A good sac of seats
was reported for the Damrosch lecture re-
cltal or next week, which promises to be q
very interesting event. April q was fixed
as the date OF the operate composers con-
cert 1t is proposed at an early day to
have short talk or informal lecture on
one Of the regular rehearsal nights on the
subject Of die Meistersinger' for the ben
emit OF the active members and to aid them
In their Interpretation of the selections
from this work. Those prospective men,
bers of the Choral Society who are think
ing OF Joining should do SO at once, as in
very short time no more members will
be taken in this season, owing to the re-
manning time being too short in which to
learn the difficult music of the operatic
concert.
