The play at Monday nights perform
ance was the society drama "A True Ken
tuckiaD", which presents an interesting

The first of the regular weekly rehear-
sails of the Bar Harbor choral society was
held last Thursday evening at 7.45 in the
high school room with good attendance
The first hour was spent on Gaul's Holy
City, sacred cantata, which will be sung
at the festival at Bangor next fall. This
work is not new to the chorus, as 1t has
spent considerable time in its study dur

be sung at the next festival, will be begun

probably be in time for the next rehearsal

rehearsal Thursday night. The following
were elected mem bers: Rev. Stephen Ii.
Green, Miss Green, Mrs. Mark G. Morri-
son, Mrs. Simpson, Miss Blanche Deasy,
Miss Louise Newman, Mark Z. Morrison.
1t was proposed to make some changes
In the constitution of the society, among
them teing one as to the ownership OF the
music.
Under the present arrangement each
member pays ~ a year dues, and the
money thus derived goes to pay for music
and other necessary expenses OF the
society. The society thus owns the music
which is loaned to the mem bers.
1t is proposed that each member shall
buy and own his music, which is the ar

the State. The dues under this plan
would be reduced to about fifty cents a
year. The expense to each member would
be about the same as now.
