THE CHORAL SOCIETY.

TO THE EDITOR. Sin,—l did not anticipate so much notice from the body calling themselves the Choral Society, and who, by this morning’s report, cannot for two successive annual meetings, get together “enough people from whom a new Committee could be selected; ” but if my letter, to which reference was made in the ieport, be too true, it was unjust to give anything from it incorrectly. I am reported t« havc_ written: “He concluded by offering a suggestion to the conductor to strive and bring forward what he had heard designated ‘the young chits,’ to take the place of the present ‘bright seraphims,’ thus preventing the present degeneration of the organisation into a mutual admiration society.” In the firs I place, I did not make the above suggestion as the conclusion of my letter. Whatldid write, and on which the statement I complain of is based, was: “Also, in future, let it be a recommendation to the conductor to always strive and bring forward what I have-heard designated ‘young chits,’ and not allow it to degenerate into a mutual admiration society; as it must be patent, even to many present well-wishers and performers, the old ranks cannot always expect to remain ‘bright seraphims.’”—lam, etc., Geobgeß.
