 TO SING FOR THE NORMAL , GlRLS-Since the great success scored
 b. the male chorus, which gave two concerts in Phoenix recently, efforts have been made to induce the gentle men forming the company 10 rep at the performance in Tempe but not until last night were arrang Hents perfected. The concert will be given on next Friday evening, the 25tl. r the auditorium of the Normal schcoI under the auspices and for the benefit Of the Athletic club of the school. A
 special train over the Nj. 6 P. will leave the new depot in Phoenix at 6 o'clock. carrying the twenty-five per formers and all others who may de-
 sire to gO and will return after the
 concert. The fare for the round tiip
 will be fifty cents and this will iu-
 clude admission to the show. Already
 quite a number of PhOenicians have sgnifed their intention to accompany
 the boys. If the people of Tempe ap-
 preciate good music as thoroughly as
 do the fnhabitants on this side of the
 river, the auditorium will not accom- mOdate the crowd.
