THE PEOPLES SINGING CLASS
Now to Become the Nucleus of Big Chorus-An Open Study Class to Be Formed Each Year.

The plans which the Peoples Sing ing class committee made in beginning this work last season are fast leading towards a big body of educated sing CTS, a chorus to sing the classics of choral writing. The committee recog- nized the fact that our city, like every other city, contained a multitude of people with voices and unusual talent who needed nothing more than train ing to make them excellent chorus singers to say the least. It then be- came their purpose to bring together as many experienced singers as possible and at the same time to provide in struction for those who had been less fortunate in the matter of. previous training.
 The singing class of last year was the result and the success of the work as shown in the concert at the end of the season was unquestionable This year a big step in advance is being taken. Last years class is to be en- larged by the admission of experienced singers, soprano, alto, tenor, bass and a big chorus of trained singers to re- suit. At the same time the educational feature is not lost sight of and the class for the study of voice culture. sight reading and part singing is main tained and singers trained for the big chorus work. Admission to this class Is without examination and the class provides instruction that in private study would mean an outlay of much money.
 The development of this plan seems to have no limit and the influence of the work will reach far beyond the hearts of the singers
 There is great pleasure to be de- rived by those who can sing; there is great pleasure to be given to those who cannot.
 Everyone who is interested in this work is invited to attend the first meeting of the season in town hall on Tuesday. Nov. 30th, at o'clock

When the clear night wind sweeps out With the going down of the sun, watch Tor the flight of the little My shadow-winged velvet one.- I see him fiit in the deepening dusk. On the edge of the wind up high. Where the tops of the pines are furry

 On the golden-orange sky. watch him dart through the windy In silvery whispering groves or oak and maple and poplar trees The little wild creature loves. And Oh. to be as that wandering
 sprite,
 Tree-winged in the summer dark. Who knows the ways of the wide
 sweet night
 No eyes of the earth can mark An, wild sky-rover. so lone. so small. Adrift on the deeps of the air, Your little dark sail Is a turing call To my spirit to follow there. And free am and as glad am As you of the wandering flight When l spread through the wings of
 my thought to fly
 Through the space and the peace of

2,ooo FISH IN STORM.
Live Cod, Wanted in New York
 Jeopardized of New Haven.


 The fishing smack Annie D. of Block Island, Captain Wilbur, arrived in New Haven harbor Thursday night on her way from Block Island to Fulton mar ket, New York, with her well filled with 2.000 live codfish.
 She was caught in the violence of the northeast gale early on Wednes- day evening while attempting to make the run from New London up the sound and while ske was off Corn field shoaL The force of the gale was such that the bonnet was torn out of her jib and she was compelled to put into Duck Island brea.kwater to make repairs to her sails and to her upper works. She proceeded here under easy sail yesterday and if the weather fa- vors she will continue her voyage to New York, where she will be fully re- pared.
 Her commander telegraphed from here to his consignees in New York last night that his cargo of fish was intact and that he hoped to be able to deliver them by Sunday. Fresh codfish are said to be scarce and high in New York and the Annie D.s cargo will sell at good figure when it is delivered there.-New Haven Journal Courier
