The service of today marked the clos
ing of the choir season in practically all
of the churches. During August most OF
the choirs are given vacation, either
with without pay, according to the
generosity or ability of the various con-
gregations, and re-engagements for next
season are already arranged by the music
committees in the churches. The Protest
ant churches mostly content themselves
during August with an offertory solOist
and a precentor to lead the congregation
in singing the hymns, and in the Catholic
churches generally there will be no music
except the necessary hymns for the bene-
dictiOns services, which are rendered
usually by junior choir IAnade up from
among the young people of the congrega-
ton. ST. Patricks will be an exception
TO this rule. AS there are two choirs reg
ularly engaged at this church one of the
organizations is always on duty. The
choir of mixed voices under Miss Jennie
Glennan concluded its season last Sunday,
and the sanctuary choir under r. Mills
Silby will resume singing today. The
quartet of the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church will sing this morning for
the last time this summer, and next Sun
day Anton Kaspar, violinist, will be the
offertory soloist, with James W. Cheney
jr., at the organ and Thomas L. Jones
leading the congregational singing.
At the Church of the Covenant Miss
Anne c. Holden is officiating at the
organ in place of Harvey Murray, who
is spending his summer i'm Maine. In the
evening the services are held in the Cow
enant tent, 11th and Monroe streets. and
preliminary program of music usually
attracts a generous sized audience for
warm weather. This evening William c.
Mills, tenor soloist of the Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church, will give the pro-
gram beginning at 7:3O. His numbers
will include my Hope is In the Ever
lasting" from Stainer's cantata; 1.-THE
Daughter of Jairus,'' 1.-The Ninety First
Psalm" and Arise. Shine. for Thy Light
Is Come" both by McDermott and 1.-The
Ninety and Nine" by Campion
At Ingram Memorial CONGREGATIONAL
Church the choir, under the direction of
Mrs. Henry Hant Mckee, will give a
farewell song service this evening, thus
closing the season of 191O-11 At its
close prizes will be awarded for faithful
