Local Organization. It Has Had an Existence of Sixteen Years sa Body of Male Singers. After the decline of the original Choral Society, the Georgetown Masoni: the Apollo Glee Club and several male singing organizations in the of 1883 a desire was manifesied by certain of the members of the disbanded societies to continue the practice of four- part male music. It was believed that the best results were obtained with the least number of voic chorus, provided the singers were selected with careful discrimi- nation as to quality ef voice and mu J temperament. : Its Organization. To this end, weekly meetings were held at Mr. Abbott's residence, the blending of voices carefully tested, and out of some twenty or thirty applicants the Franz Abt Club was formally organized January 24, 1884, as an octet, or, to be more exact, a double quartet, with the following mem- bership: James L. Richardson and John M. Buch- anan, first tenors; Edwin 8. Holmes andWil- liam D. MacFarland, second tenors; Ed- ward J. Whipple and William E. Abbott, first basses; Charles W. Hancock and Francis H. Barbarin, second basses, with Stephen H. Jecko, accompanist. Active rehearsal was at once commenced under the direction of Mr. Holmes, and on April 23, 1884, the club made its first concert appearance at Curtis Hall. George- town, the occasion being an entertainment for the benefit of Potomac Lodge, F. A. A. M., and the same week furnished the vocal numbers at the Georgetown Orchestra's concert at the Congregational Church. The instant success achieved at this concert es- tablished the club's reputation beyond all question. Throughout the following sum- mer rehearsals were continued with enthu- siasm, with the result that by the season of 1884-5 the club was equipped with a far more extensive and varied repertoire of part songs than been possessed by any of {ts predecessors, During this season the club appeared fre- quently at local entertainments, banque! and social functio: nd on April 16, 1885, it gave its first regular concert at the Church of Onur Father, on which occasion assistance was rendered by Miss Kate Scott, soprano; Miss Eulalie Domer, cont 3 Mr. Willis Clark of Boston, tenor, the Georgetown Orchestra. It was in the summer of 1885 that were inaugurated those famous Sunday trips up the river to Potomac landing, In the cool shades of which the club, In the company of a Mmited number of invited guests, di coursed music that speedily made these excursions popular that they were continued for s eral successive seasons. Trips to Atlantic City. During the winter of 1885-6 the club ap- peared in many concerts and social enter- tainments, and in July, 1896, its first pro- fessional trip was undertaken, a visit be- ing made to Atlantic City, where, assisted by Miss Florence Grigg, soprano soloist, concerts were given at several of the lead- ing hotels, with such flattering success that later, In 1889, a second trin taken to the same resort, the club being reinforced on this occasion by Misses Mollie Byrne and Maude Wolston, and Messrs. Herndon Morsell_ and Frank Keller, vocalists, and Mr. i, pianist. Four ¢ certs were given during the week at Traymore, Uleswerth and Windsor hotels and the Opera House.
