The chorus will meet nightly during the week, and will he heard by the public for the first time on next Sun day morning. If you sing, join the chorus. There is no possible danger of too many male or female voices being of fered, and there will be' seats in the chorus terrace for all singers. Go out this evening and "begin at the beginning."
