an expert reader as that is one of the

The Washington Oratorio Society held
its first rehearsal in the chapel Of the
Church of the Covenant last Monday
evening. Many of the old members re-
Joined and many new members enrolled.
After a preliminary announcement of
the seasons plans, by Mr.. Freeman,
chairman of the board OF directors. part
of which will be given to the public
later, THE Messiah was taken up.
Owing to the fact that the chapel of
the Church of the Covenant will be oc-
Cupied tomorrow evening by one of the
church societies the regular weekly re-
hearsal will be postponed this week. but
the rehearsals will begin again on Mon
day evening, November 8, and continue
uninterruptedly.
The regular season of Boston sym

next Tuesday afternoon at 4:3O at the
New National Theater, when the or
Chestra will appear under its conductor.
DR.. Karl Muck, and with the great ItaI-
ian barytone, Pasquale Amato, as SOLO
ist.
The orchestra's season in Boston start
ed in the middle Of the month with un-
usual brilliancy. The fact that there
was doubt for a time whether the or
chestra could be assembled for the sea-
son probably added somewhat to the en-

it and to DR.. Muck. but all the connois-
seurs OF Boston unite in saying that it
has never played more brilliantly and its
ensemble work is as if it were in the {
middle Of the season. rather than at the |
beginning. The ranks of the orchestra
are full and there are no more new mem |
bers in it than usually are found at the |
beginning of the season. These new mem {
bers have fully justified the reports
which have preceded them. Mr.. Sand,
who has taken Mr.. Grisez's place as first I
clarinetist, has shown himself to be a {
musician of great virtuosity, and the
same is true of the other new members.
DR.. Muck has arranged a most attrac-
