 The service in the Congregational held at o'clock. This promises to be one of the best musical events held m stanofd for yeafs The cahtata, Gaul's Holy City" is fine work, full of magnificent choruses, beautiful so- los and attractive instrumental parts. The chorus is composed of 45 of our best singers and several male voices from Rockville. Rehearsals have been held for weeks and thorough under standing of the demands on the chor- us is the result Director Waite says it is one of the best choruses he has ever conducted, their work will be worth hearing. The soloists are equal to all that is required of them. Mrs. c. H. Moore, soprano, and Mrs. A. B. Waite, contralto of the church quartet are particularly fortunate in having beautiful solos to sing and the opportunity to make them effective will not be lost. Wesley w. Howard, tenor from Hartford is soloist at Christ church and is with particular satisfaction this announcement of MT. Towards coming to Stafford is made, for he is a fine singer and will add much to the service. Another pleas ing and valuable addition to the ser vice will be the bass soloist, Harry Olmstead, of the Center church, Hart ford. MT. Olmstead and MT. Howard have not sung in Stafford before. To a majority of those present the instru- mental part of the service will appeal strongly, for no cantata offers better or more satisfactory music. The Beeman and Hatch orchestra from Hartford, with Dr. G. P. Bard at the organ and Miss Pauline Cooley of Rockville at the piano will play sev- eral separate instrumental numbers. collection will be taken to defray expenses.
