Sunday Concerts and Rehearsals.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have read the letters published in Thurs
days Star written by prominent clergy
men of Boston, stating their opinions as
to whether or not the holding of concerts
and rehearsals on Sunday evenings by the
Handel and Haydn Society of Boston has
tended to detract from the sacredness Of
the day. AS an old member of the chorus
of the Handel and Haydn Society Of
Boston 1 cannot help thinking 1t sin
gular that there should be any room
Tor doubt as to what the answer
to such question: should be- The
membership of the chorus Of that we'll
known body is largely recruited from the
various churches and Sunday schools Of
Boston and vicinity, and SO far from any
thought of detracting from the sacredn
of Sunday is concerned they regard their
chorus singing as an additional oppcr unity
of worshiping God in the inspirint; music
of the greatest masters AS to the charge
OF commercialism 1t is frivolous on the face
of it, Commercialism is commerce for
profit If the Handel and Haydn Society
of Boston is guilty of commercialism then
every church in any city employing a paid
choir is guilty of scommercialism Again,
the ordinary paid choir takes money for
it's services; the chorus of the Handel and
HAYDN Society contribute to the society g
support, receiving nothing in return but
the privilege of buying their own chorus
books and participating IN the singing

the true ring. JOSEPH w. BELCHER.

the company formed some time ago fail to
put ferry boats on the line between Alex

project was taken up again and is being
put into shape for action should the oppor-
tunity occur. AS yet the insurance the

depth of eighteen feet, with the presence of
water. Work on the engineer school Is
progressing steadily. The foundations Of
most of the quarters have been completed
and the brickwork on several of the build
ings has been carried half way up to the
first story level.
The work of razing the old barracks,
Captain Sewell says, is progressing favor
ably. considering the care that is being OBJ
served in preserving the material for fu-
ture use in connection with the construction
of the new buildings Much valuable ma
terial has been obtained, especially floor
joists and roof timberfng, as well as prac-
tically new hot-water plant. The old walls
will produce, he says, a sufficient number
of good bricks to pay a large proportion of
the cost of razing the buildings. .Consid-
cradle expense was entatled in partitionins

Exclamation

Mr. s. Mundheimer. living at 1904 nth
street northwest, was knocked down by an
automobile last night about O'Clock AT
pennsylvania avenue and Sd street. The
man in charge of the horseless vehicle APP
parently cared nothing for the victim of
the accident. for he speeded his auto in
excess of the speed allowed by law after
the accident occurred, and it was impos-
sible for Policeman Galpin to overtake
him. Discussing the case a policeman said
It was just such incidents as this that rem
dered necessary the enactment of the regu-

such vehicles. Had the vehicle been num-
bered the officer would have had some
means of finding the owner. Fortunate
for Mr.. Mundheimer, he was not badly in
tured.
