 large and enthusiastic meeting of the Birmingham Choral society was held in the parlors of the First M E. church Thursday evening and plans for it's work this coming season were thoroughly dis cussed. Committees were appointed to select music, place of meeting and re- hearsal, and other essential details. It Is probable that more concerts will be given during the winter than at first con templated, for the interest in the work of the society has been so great, and the unsolicited offers of assistance so many, that there Is no longer any doubt for the success of the enterprise. Several names were added to the membership list on Thursday evening, and there will no doubt be over hundred experienced voices to start work with.
