Cornell Musical Clubs' Trip.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Arrangements have been nearly completed for the European trip of the Cornell musical clubs. The men will leave Ithaca June 16, and will sail the next day from New York on the steamer Paris. The first concert will be given in St. James Hall, London, on the evening of July 4, and will be made distinctively an American event. Patriotic and American songs will be sung, and all Americans in London will be invited to turn out on this occasion. From London they will go to Henley to attend the races, in which the Cornell crew is to take part. After the Henley regatta a second London concert will be given, and the clubs will then make a tour of Southern England, visiting the principal watering places, including Southport, Brighton and Portsmouth. The principal towns of Wales and Northern England will then be visited. At least two concerts will be given in Scotland - at Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The clubs will then cross the Irish Channel and will appear in the principal cities of Ireland. The final concert of the tour will be given at Queenstown, where the men are to take the ship for America. The clubs will be attended by Professor H. E. Dann, the director of the Glee Club, who has had charge of the training of the men for several years. J. E. Alpuente of New York will have the management of the clubs during the tour, and will sail for England the latter part of May, in order to make all necessary preparations for the trip.
