MAY FESTIVAL.
The Chorus Will Soon Begin Work-Mr.
 .Guckenberger Busy.

The guarantee for the May Music Festi- val having been subscribed and the con- tract securing the Chicago orchestra, Theo- dore Thomas, conductor, and a galaxy of distinguished vocal artists, having been signed, the chorus will lose no time in be- ginning it's rehearsals MT. Guckenberger, the chorus director, was busy yesterday with some of the preliminary work, such as selecting the music to be sung and arrang- ing the rehearsal schedules. He has called a full rehearsal for next Monday night at the lessee French piano rooms. There will be part rehearsals for women's voices every Tuesday and Friday mornings at 10 o'clock and every Saturday at p. m, and a part rehearsal for mems voices every Thursday night.
 The festival chorus last year nu~'No~ ~ed about 130 voices MT Guckenberge' 9 hopes to have not less than 200 .. In former festivals Mollenhauer's $ tra of only forty performers suppAeu the Instrumental music and for an accompany ing band of that size a chorus of 130 was quite large enough But Thomas brings an orchestra of siXty-five pieces and the chorus should be arranged ip proportion. Two hundred well-trained singers accompanied by the finest orchestra in America will make an ideal festival performance.
 The Chicago orchestra with soloists, busi- mess staff and attendants, numbers exactly ninety persons. One hotel has signed a contract to take care of seventy members of the party, leaving the other twenty to scatter around.
