CHORAL SOCIETY
CONCERT A SUCCESS

The second annual concert of Old Swedes' Choral Society was given in Old Swedes' parish building last night before a large audience. The chorus had been greatly strengthened since the first concert last spring. Several very difficult arias from operas were sung by the chorus last night in splendid manner. Assisting the chorus were Miss Margaret Braunstein, Horace B. Harrison, of this city, and Mr. Hanlon, of Bayonne, N. J. An effective number was the "Bridal Chorus," from the "Rose Maiden."

Worthy of special mention was the cornet playing of Mrs. E. P. Burnham. Miss Braunstein delighted the audience with her rendition of "Kentucky Babe." Master Paul Burnham during the intermission favored the audience by singing "Gee, I Wish I Had a Girl."
