! special committee has been appointed to
consider the filling of this vacancy. The
committee is composed entirely of active
members Of the society, as the vacancy
/ IS one which will be filed by the election
of an active member. The members Of
/ the committee are Joseph B. Wilson,
chairman; Henry J. DAILY, and Mrs. c. Y.
/ Fellows. The concert committee has re-
ceived numerous applications for the po-
sitiOn of musical director of the Choral
/ Society from musicians both in Washing
ton and elsewhere. Two plans are under
consideration; one, the election Of per
manent director; and the other, the selec-
ton Of a different director for each Of
the three concerts Of the coming season
The plan of inviting directors for special
concerts has been largely adopted in or
chestras elsewhere, and in some cases for
singing societies. Thus the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra for two years in
vited distinguished directors from abroad
having no permanent director during all
this time The Choral Society has, on
several occasions, invited directors for
single concerts, including particularly the
composers, the late Dudley Buck, Prof.
Horatton Parker and Mr.. Reginald de
Koven.
