with the work.

l,+ pIy
in years, and il was the first time that
this work has been sung here.
The chorus was well balanced, and
their singing was very good The at
tacks were clear, crisp and tone quail
ity good The Judgment and musician
ship of DR.. Chace has not been better
demonstrated than in the work done by
the chorus and soloists in this work

McCaddam, sopranos; Miss Mckinney,
mezzo- soprano; Mrs. G. E. Bates, con-
tralto; A. A. Schramm, tenor; Prof

Mrs. Vera Schaupp Frickey at the pi-
