The May Musical Festival execu
tive committee, held very enthusi
astic meeting in the parlors of the
Starr Piano Company, corner of 10th
and Main streets last night at which
it was announced that the necessary
guarantee funds had been raised, and
that the committee on music could go
ahead and make all arrangements for
talent Nearly one hundred supporters
of the May Musical Festival signed
the list, which amounts to near five
thousand dollars. 1t was the first in
tention of the committee to raise four
thousand dollars but as they met no
objections in their canvass the
amount was increased.
The musical committee of which
Prof. Earhart is chairman will start
its work Immediately, and the Theo-
dore Thomas Orchestra will be engas-
ed for next years concert 1t Is
thought by the committee that the
Richmond chorus can be asse mbled
by the first of November, to begin
their regular rehearsals.
Owing to the fact that several OF
the best singers of Richmond took
only a slight interest in the festival
this year, but are now anxious to sing
with the chorus next year, the cho-
rus will be much larger and probably
more efficient In fact the demand to
get into the chorus is so great, that
many people who would like to sing
for the. training they will get out OF
it. will be unable to gain Abundance.
All the old members of the chorus
will be asked to return.
