1t may be of interest to the people of
this village to learn that former South
Paris woman, Mrs. Flora E. Garland,
sang in the chorus OF the International
Music Festival held on Wsshingt0n's
Birthday in Mechanics Hall, Boston.
There was chorus of 1,400 voices fur
nisbed by the musical organizations of
Boston, and to give the festival its inter
national character, the various foreign
societies of the city furnished folk-songs
and dances of the nations they repre-
sented. These latter attractions were
numerous representing Armenian, Ital-
ian, Albanian, Portuguese, Polish, Swe.
dish, Russian, Lithuanian, Chinese, and
Syrian peoples, to say nothing Of that
newer nationality, the Czecho-Slovaks.
Another interesting thing about the fes-
tival was that forty one members OF the
chorus sang in the National Peace Jubi-
lee held in Boston in June, 1859. The
present festival was given under the aus
pieces Of the Boston Chamber OF Com
merce.
