GREAT CHORAL FESTIVAL. More than sixty choirs and 2000 singers competed at Weymouth recently in three balls at the annual festival of the Dorset Choral Association. Women and girls outnumbered the men by three to one, and the women’s institutes were the strongest classes. Dorset towns were poorly represented, but the villages sent battalions of singers. Milkmaids did their early morning milking, and then a motor-omnibus collected them from outlying farms and hamlets for the journey to Weymouth. Nearly a hundred students from 12 towns and villages have attended a course of educational lectures at Sevenoaks, England.
