Vocniists and Excursionists VIII
Have Their Evenings tor sight
seeing Some Who VIII Go.

Owing to the fact that some Of the
members Of the original two hundred
who were selected by Director Evan
Stephens to represent the Tabernacle
choir on the occasion Of the California
trip next March, have notified the choir
leader that It VIII be impossible for
them to go some changes have been
made m The original program,
The number OF singers WIN be cut
down from 200 to l2i, and tho entire
program In California VIII De changeu,
II Is row the intention TO give no cons
cefts IN the evening 40 those who are
going win have this time In which to
visit the sights and places OF amusc-
ment IN each city visited From the
point Of view Of the excursIonlsts and
the singers this move VIII possibly
enhance thc pleasure Of The trip
In reply to an item which appeared
In morning paper TO the eject that
the choir lr'n would probably be aban-
doned Director stephens this afternoon
gave the following written statement to
the Nova for publication
THE reducing Of the number Of sing
ers lessenb the expense sufficiently 10
do this and the failure Of a number
OF the 200 TO go has brought all this
reduction. My position Is simply this
as to singers
Il have announced 200 singers for
California. and must In all honor de-
cline 10 have them On professional
sense for admission fees) give concerts
with less than this number,
II am equally In honor bound to take
the l2t or so who did not neglect TO
come up to the requirements But
without revenue from California CON
ccrts | cannot afford to add TO the
list others who would like 10 60 bur
who have neglected to attend to the
requirements always understood, as /
neither need them for the musical
work nor, unless our local concerts will
bring the funds into the treasury
could ] afford to pay their way, They
were given until last night to report
and this Is my conclusion
The choir as now constituted for
the trip Is q fine one for the number
and we viii sing IN California on a
mentary sense or without admission
number OF occasions, all IN comph-
charge We expect to visit both great
universities Of the state and give each
a free concert. We will also sing at
the Mormon Church services there on
Sunday
III we make enough over the ex-
pense Of taking those now enrolled
from our local concerts all who have
wished to make their deposits since
the nsts closed a week last Saturday
viii be included on the same terms as
the rest, but not otherwise"
