this resolution letter of Mr.. Wrightson,
from which the following extracts have
been made:
Il have asked the authorities of the
jamestown exposition for the privilege Of
taking the Choral Society down, as bust
ness proposition of my own, and have en-
tered into business arrangement with
them regarding it; this giving me an op-
portunity of making some money out Of
the proposition myself
II have been wanting to do this because
I want to make some money out Of 1t, and
having worked as hard as l have for the
exposition feel that / am entitled to this
proposition"
Proposal Accepted.
The proposal of Mr.. Wrightson to take
the Choral Society to jamestown for a con-
cert on his own responsibility was accepted
son confirmed his previous offer in a letter
of May 10. in which he accepted the So

The following paragraphs in the Bulle-
tin give explanation of the events reading
up to the resolution in which the society
June rescinded its action:
This announcement CMr. Wrightson' s
letter. was Immediately followed by a def
mite statement at the rehearsal by Mr..
Wrightson that the chorus would go to
the exposition on June 10. At the re-
hearsal of May 81 Mr.. Wrightson again
announced positively that the trip would
be made. No written proposition from the
exposition authorities as promised in Mr..
Wrightson's letter of May has ever been
received by the board nor has any other

subject to the board.

And he added. elf the claims made by

Mr.. Ryan says he has strong following
in Fauquier and Culpeper. will receive
good vote in Fairfax and will make a re-
spectacle showing in the other counties of

II have selected the Washington Choral
Society to be the one to sing at the open

other societies that could be secured, and
although no negotiations have been opened
with any of them it will be a very easy
matter to do so. and l shoulu be forced to

Progress Reported.
In answer to this it is stated, the COM
mittee informed Mr.. Wrightson of the work
it had done in seeking to arrange details
of transportation; the cost of the trip on
a per capita basis, etc. The INMATES or
the next meeting OF the board showed the
failure of the excursion as then planned
because no definite statement could De
secured from Mr.. Wrightson or from the
exposition authorities that the expenses
would be met. Consequently resolution
was adopted discharging the special COM
mittee from further service. and asking
Mr.. Wrightson to communicate with Vice
President Hill as soon an understanding
between himself and the exposition authori-
ties should be reached.

Unable to Make Arrangements.

The committee appointed made pre-
liminary inquiries in regard to transporta-
ton. but was unable to make the arrange
ment directed because it had no official
statement by the authorities of the expo
sition. Miss Cryder. as chairman of the
committee accordingly addressed a letter
10 Mr. Wrlghtson, as Honorary Director
Of Music. jamestown Exposition" in which
the difficulty was outlined. According to
the report printed in the Bulletin no answer
was received 10 this letter. and April l
another letter was sent TO him. reading as
follows.
After consultation of two members out
OF three, of our committee. namely Mr.
King and myself. | am sending you the
following communication relative TO our

Quotations From the Records.

Immediately following this statement is
another to the effect that the proposal to
give a concert at the exposition was first
brought before the board at an adjourned
meeting held February Ii. 1907. and
quotation is given from the minutes of that
meeting showing that Mr.. Wrightson said
he expected to be appointed musical di-
rector of the exposition. coupled with a re-
quest by him that he be granted authority
TO offer the services of the Choral Society
for the opening concert at the fair. An
agcompauy wing resolution shows that Mr..
Wrightson was granted the desired au-
thority, with the prOviso that all expenses
OF the society be guaranteed and that the
society receive. II possible ofe-hdlf the net
profits Of the expedition.
Tile next step in the proceedings is shown
by an extract from the minutes of the
meeting Of the board on March ~. reading
as follows:
Mr. WrishtSon reported that the board
of management Of the jamestown EXPOSE
ton had. or would. allow the sum of 900
to dcfray the expenses of the Choral Society
t. the exposition. but that all details of
Management must be undertaken by the
society Upon his suggestion it was voted
OF managers be engaged to attend to the
management of the expedition, and the
chair appointed Miss Cryder In conjunc-
ton with Mr.. King and Mr. Tucker as
special committee TO confer with Mr.. T.
Arthur Smith, or other suitable person.
with full power to engage such manager"

Mr.. Wrightson's Reply.

Mr.. Wrightson replied to this under the
same date. saying, in part:
I'm reply TO your letter the proposition
that was made 10 the Jamestown exposition
board OF governors was that the Choral
Society should be allowed So 500 for their
expenses 10 jamestown and back for the
opening OF the exposition of April 26. That
the Choral Society was to sing in the
morning with a chorus of 500 voices from
Norfolk. and 10 give the Messiah in the
evening with quartet from New York
and chorus OF 100 voices from Norfolk.
In accepting the proposition at a meet
ing OF the board March p a mistake
was made whereby the board of governors
thought that the S2.J00 proposition for the
Choral Society included the cost of the
quartet from New York. Realizing since
then that 1t will be impossible for the
Choral Society TO go to Norfolk and return
carrying 26O people for $500, / was kind
enough 10 suggest TO the committee that
you make proposition to me founded upon
another basis.
Il put my official signature to this letter.
which is sufficient guarantee of my good
faith. and II is up to the Choral Society now
TO make a proposition regarding this matter
which will come within the possibility OF
everybody. i am really in very delicate
position as musical director of the James
town exposition and musical director OF the
washington Choral Society. / cannot per-
sonaly accept any remuneration from the
Choral Society for conducting the perform

Substance of the Statement.

This statement reads in part as follows:
To the Active and Sustaining Members:
In view of the interest 5hown in the
concert OF the society planned to be given
at the Jamestown exposition, the board of
managers at It's meeting ON June q unani-
mously adopted d report on this subject and
then voted to send copy of it to the active
and sustaining members.
The board during the last year. as. IN
the past. followed the rule of Separat ting
the artistic and financial management OF
the society, leaving the former to the must
cal director and retaining the latter in the
hands Of the board. The soundness of this
policy can hardly be questioned.
The year closes with all the bills of the
year paid and $3.50 in the treasury. after
giving three concerts involving total ex-
penditure of $i.3Sl.52. The entire expenses
were paid from receipts of concerts and
dues Of members. excepting $40 contrib
utpi by CuarantpIS of this season, and SOD
two unpaid guarantees of last season. Very
few other similar societies elsewhere are
able to make a better showing. This re-
suit was accomplished by the most rigid
economy in expenditure, based upon the
experience Of many years, and in spite of
he small audiences at the second and third
concerts.
AT recent rehearsals of the Choral So
ciety. held by authority of the board under
the arrangement shown in the report, the
late musical director took steps looking to
the undermining of the Choral Society by
forming another choral organization based
on the existing membership of the Choral
Society. II is not believed that the eff
frontery thus displayed rebuked ii was
at the time by two of the active members
OF the society. can have any adverse effect
upon the loyal support of the organizatto
now entering upon its twenty fifth season of
active work.
