the great masters of the present and past ;
TO promote the interests Of Catholic Church

be made up from the best singers of the
city, and with the excellent facilities for
study afforded by a well-equipped library.
and for special training under competent
direction, 1t is hoped to reach a very high
standard of efficiency.
1t is believed that organization of this
kind. for which a wish has been expressed
by so many singers of the various choirs
Will prove of mutual benefit and fill long
felt want. and the music lovers of the city
may look forward with pleasure to hearing
its first concert.
1t is desired to make the choir select and
well balanced. and hence the number will
be limited. Those who responded at this
first meeting were enrolled as charter mem
bers, and rehearsals will be held every
Wednesday evening. The choir took up
the study of Rossini's mass, which has
never been given here. and followed it with
Gounods St. Cecilia, and the rendition of
these two great works was excellent.
