the special Joint committee on street

contract. but got apparently further
from final conclusion than 1t was
when the bids were first opened sew
cral days ago.
After wrangling for two hours over
the matter. and hearing many speeches
from members and bidders. the body
adjourned at a few minutes to Z o'clock

Still some of the members thought
there was some ambiguity even about
the opinion OF the City. Attorney.

OF that big number forty We're given
prizes for not missing a single day.
Many more only missed one or two
practices, which shows the remarkable
Interest taken in their work by the
young vocalists.
The adult chorus held it's last re-
hearsal before the final practice with
the orchestra at the Y. NJ. c. A. Build
Ing last night. and the result was
highly gratifying. This chorus is I'M
doubtedly the best trained and the
voices blend better than any other
that has ever sung for the Wednes-
day Club.
Everything is indicative that this
festival of harmony will be the most
successful congress OF musicians ever
held in Virginia.
