NEW CHORAL BODY.
PALMERSTON NORTH CHOIR. Last evening, a large number of clioralists attended a meeting convened by Mr J. Holmes Runnicles for the purpose of producing Mendelssohn’s oratorio, “St. Paul.” Mr Runnicles explained the twofold object of the gathering—to supply enjoyment of music for the many elrorallsts in the town who desired it, and to devote any results of their labours —in the shape of a concert —to the unemployed fund. By means of a collection each week, all expenses of a hall, hire of music and advertising would be paid, thus having no debt weok by week. This being unanimously agreed to, it was decided to adopt the name of the Palmerston North Choir, membership to be not by election, but by invitation. There will be no voice trial, the members being relied upon to use their judgment in issuing invitations to other choralists. The conductor indicated his intention of giving his services free. It was resolved to meet next Monday, notwithstanding it being a holiday.
