TO MAKE TOUR OF u. 8

NEW YORK, July 19.-Word has
been received from James Slevin, the
impresario, now in Rome, that by
special permission of Pope Benedict
XIV the famous Vatican choir will be
permitted again to tour the United
States.
Last year the Pope, for the drst
time in the history Of the Vatican,
permitted the choirs to leave Rome.
They had a limited but triumphant
tour of the United States, and Car
dinal Gibbons aud other eminent
churchmen and students of higher
sacred music urged Mr.. Slevin TO re-
tain the choirs in the United States
for additional. concerts. This was
impossible, as the choirs were re-
quired in Rome for important func-
tions, including the beatification of
Saint Joan of Arc.
1t is not known at present who will
direct the choir here. Mgr. Casimiro
Casimiri directed them last year.
