 EVENING.

 to Be Present-Date of the Voice
 Trial by Mrs. Haesche-Out-of-ToWn
 Applicants.
 The members of the Peoples Choral union are again reminded to bring their copies of last season of Phaudrig Crehoore for the rousing chorus num- bers chosen to greet Prof. William Lyon Phelps, after his speech this eve ming at City Mission hall at o'clock. All the officers, the division master, Harry Whitaker, accompanist; the as sistant, MT. Scoyille. and the several committees will be present, and all in- formation can be tben obtained at f:lo. Tickets for membership can be obtain ed at the table near the entrance Tor former members. The new candidates will please occupy the gallery and the old members their places of previous sessions as far as possible.
 The date for the voice trial by Mrs. William E. Haesche has been changed to Tuesday evening, November 8, at City Mission hall at S:15. That will give all new candidates fitting hour after their business duties to have the first chance. Should the election re- turns interfere with the tenors and passes, an application time will be set for them. The voice trial is a simple process to decide sopranos from altos, and tenors from passes. to give each their proper position in the ranks. MT. Haesche desires to announce that out of town applicants from Branford, Mil ford and other smaller towns will have equal chances with the former and new members. Only their applications must be sent now or at the rally on Thurs day of this week.
 The booklets given out tonight will explain the system and further infor- rnation can be obtained from the man. agement. The five cents dues for each rehearsal includes the membership ticket. and music, unless individual singers desire at small cost to buy their own copies for their musical libraries. The fact that Prof. William Lyon Phelps is to make an address has aroused such enthusiasm in the ranks as we'll as in the university that 1t is to be regretted that the Peoples Choral union for their first night of this sea son cannot have the armory or Wool- sey hall. Miss Annie Lynch and Miss Catherine Fogarty, who are the in structors for the sight reading classes, will be chosen at the rally. when all Information will be given. The door will open at 7:15 for those who desire to buy their membership tickets. Each former member is asked to bring a would be singer with them. No fee will be asked for the first night.
