upon the announcement that the
singers of the music society of the Uni
versity of Utah and the Salt Lake
Philharmonic orchestra had completed
arrangements to render 1.-THE Mes

university. Professor Squire Coop, di~
rector Of the combined organizations in
this great production, Is arranging to
have frequent rehearsals in order to
present one Of the most finished rendi.
tions Of the composition ever heard in
the intermountain country.
No more beautiful and appropriate
spot for an open air rendition of the
masterpiece could be found in the
valley than that presented in the uni
versity campus, with its broad green
lawns. The view of the valley, and
especially Of the city, to be had from
that point is, superb. The spot will be
backgrounded by the wondrous
inspiration TO music in its most glorious
form, while the broad expanse Of val
leys TO the west and the beautiful CITY
at the very feet of the mighty audience
will serve to move the mind to exalted
contemplation. And if the evening be
clear the Great Salt Lakes silver
simmer in the far western distance
will lend burnish to that part of the
pictures frame that will leave an i'm.
preston not soon to be forgotten. BE.
