1Musical Clubs
3THE Men's Choral Union, of Watertown, N. Y., gave a concert February 5. For several seasons past the men singers have been invited to join with the Women's Musical Society for a May music festival, and as a result there was a strong revival of interest in choral music among the men. A natural outcome of the interest was that last spring they moved to perfect an organization of their own for the study and practice of choral singing. The officers chosen for the first year were Rev. George Haws Feltus, president; J. J. Allen, vice president; W. W. Waddingham, secretary and treasurer; Charles D. Griffith, librarian, and the following three directors: G. S. Knowlton, A. H. Horton and F. B. Porter. Charles Larned, organist of Trinity, has acted as accompanist.
