New York, N. Y., Mar. 5.--Princeton was awarded the first place in the third annual Intercollegiate Glee Club Contest held in Carnegie Hall last night, Penn. State securing honorable mention. This decision gives Princeton possession for one year of the silver loving cup presented by the University Glee Club of New York, which is to become the property of the club winning the meet three times. The University Glee Club and Dartmouth have also each won the contest one year.
The singing of each of the six competing clubs, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Penn. State, and Princeton, was strikingly uniform and the performance of each was highly praiseworthy. Each club sang Edward MacDowell's famous "War Song," this piece forming the competitive feature of the contest, and in addition, a light piece, and a college selection.
The non-competitive features of the meet were Mr. Wiednhoeft's solos, the selections by the University Glee Club of New York, and the singing of Kremsu's old Netherland Folk Song, "The Prayer of Thanksgiving," by the 280 voices of the combined competing clubs, and the University Glee Club of New York. The effect of this beautiful an-them, sung by so large a male chorus, was truly remarkable and impressive.
The judges of the contest were Mr. Victor Herbert, conductor and composer, Mr. John Hyatt Brewer, conductor of the Apollo Club of Brooklyn, and Mr. Louis Koernnienick, conductor of the Mendelssohn Glee Club of New York.
