Copies of Handel's Messiah (Prout

time for distribution tomorrow even
ing, and that masterpiece will at once
be put in rehearsal.
The response Of the singers to in
terest in the cause has far exceeded
expectations. A greater number OF
we'll known singers have applied for
membership than has ever before
been contained in any singing So
ciety in Wilmington. This is the
more surprising in the face of so
much activity on the part OF many
singers in other causes of local inter-
