doubtedly Lead to Holding Of
Others of Same Sort.

From a number OF sources have
come congratulations to the Wednes-
day Club on the success Of the recent

union chorus seeming to begespecially
appreciated ~ f, rs t.GfIns7
The Auditorium has come In FOR IT'S
share OF praise. since only the use
of solslarge hall could such a conf
Ebination of musical talent have been
brought together at popular prices.
From comparison Of notes, it would
seem that those seated In the gallery
had the best position in the house. A
number Of competent musicians who
sat In the front Of the gallerySon Sat
urday night said that the noise OF the
band In the opening accompaniment,
which was noticed by some near the
front OF the house, was not noticeable
in the gallery, the band appearing at
Its best IN accompaniment, and at no
time seeming to drown the chorus
The lines Band left last night for
the Jamestown Exposition, where t
has a months engagement. It's work
In Richmond was certainly Of the most
creditable' character, and 1t will .no
doubt prove one of the attractive feat
ures Of the exposition.
Mr., Walter c. Mercer. when seen last
night. was enthusiastic in his praise
Of the chorus, and Of the work of the
children at the Saturday matinee. To
u representative OF The Times Dispatch
he said:"I wish you would expNsss my
sincere thanks to all those who par
|ticipated In the chorus. and whose
efforts SO far contributed to the splen-
did success Of the great festival"
Mr.. Mercer said that he had received
during the day a number of cor fratu-
lations on the success Of the enter
tainments. and that from every side
was coming the highest communication
of the reunion chorus. ~ 5S&

Military Matters.

The members Of the Richmond How
tiers Association have been called
by President Carlton Mccarthy to as
scmble this afternoon at 5 o'clock in
the Mayors reception room. Thesmeet-
ing is held at the instance Of several
veteran members Of the battery, with
the purpose of showing proper recog-
milton Of the services Of the battery,
and especially Of the recent splendid
march to the Jamestown Expo siton.
1t has not been indicaredSin what way
tho association will show it's appre-
citation Of the work of their successors
In maintaining the name and fame Of
the gallant artillery organizat ion. Ger
tainly, some appropriate action will be
taken. &
The Howitzers will assemble at their
armory on Tuesday night for regular
drill. The organization now has about
100 men on the rolls or on the waiting
list, and the enthusiasm and esprit de
corps Of the battery was never greater
since WArtimes. Many Of It's members
have served in the command for many
years, and one for nearly half cen-
fury continuously.
The Richmond Light Infantry Blues
Battalion and the First Battalion OF the
Seventeen Regiment will resume their
regular drill this week, having omitted
them for the remainder Of the week
Of their return from the camp. The
men sof both commands are in good
condition, rS1d their interest in the milf
tary has increased as Il result OF their
encampment@at Jamestown. They are
becoming interested in the matter Of
selecting riflemen to represent the
State In the national tournament at

I'mer or early in the fall. Virginia sent
a team to Sea Grit, N. il last year to
compete with the cracks from the Ma
ltional Guard organizations there, but
the Virginiars did not have a chance,
being Inexperienced IN scientific rifle
range work. Since then great advance
has been made in indoor shooting and
| the men have been drilled In aiming
and handling the wind gauges and dis
lance ranges.
| An indoor target system, by means
OF which the men will get the ad-
vantage Of practically tho same as
! long distance shooting, Will enable
tho Virglnians to secure some prnc-
tice and this, together with the ex-
perience Of those who went to Sea
Grit. will make it probable that the
State will make much better show
