COLUMBUS MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION.
This association has been in operation for many years. Its object is mutual edification and assistance in the work of the ministry. It purports to be composed of the ministers of all the " evangelical " churches of the city. Those ministers, however, who are not esteemed " evangelical " are admitted to seats in the meetings, and to a participation in the discussions.
The regular meetings of the association are held at nine A. M. every Monday, in the basement of the Town Street M. E. Church. At these meetings essays and sermons are read by members on topics previously assigned, and discussions follow on such es- says or sermons, or on questions otherwise arising. During the hot summer weather, the meetings are suspended.
Rev. David Harries, of the Long Street Welch Calvinistic- Methodist, or Presbyterian Church, is president of the associa- tion, and Rev. R. R. McNulty, of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, is secretary.

As its name implies, laymen only can become members of the society. In the case of the death of a clergyman to whose family relief is to be ex- tended, the assessment upon each member is two dollars. One dollar is paid on initiation as a member of the society. Its offi- cers are: John W. Andrews, president; A. N. Whiting, treas- urer, and Robert S. Smith, secretary.

AMUSEMENTS AND MUSICAL SOCIETIES.
THE FIRST THEATER.
THE first building in Columbus devoted to theatrical perform- ances was erected in the fall of 1835. It was a large frame building on the west side of High street, between Broad and Gay streets. It was opened the ensuing winter by Messrs. Dean . & Mckinney, managers, with a dramatic corps. It continued to

be kept open, during the winter, under different lessees and man- agers, for six or seven years, till it was finally closed. The build- ing was purchased, in 1843, by M. J. Gilbert, by whom it was remodeled. For some years afterward it was known as the City Hall. It was at length reconstructed into private dwellings.
THE STATE STREET THEATER.
The second building in Columbus appropriated to theatrical performances was erected by John M. Kinney & Co., in 1855, on State street, nearly opposite the south front of the State- house. The architect was N. E. Lovejoy, and the superintend- ent, J. Boswell. At first it bore on the playbills the name of " Dramatic Temple." It was opened on the evening of Sep- tember 12, 1855, with a full company. After the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and an opening address, the well-known comedy of the " Honeymoon " and the farce of "State Secrets" were presented. The house was filled to its full capacity, and as the new theater was a novel institution in the city, and the com- pany an efficient one, the proprietors and managers, John M. Kin- ney & Co., continued to enjoy a liberal patronage during the fall and winter. The theater was re-opened the next season with an entirely new and successful company. It continued to flourish under various lessees and managers until the war excitement diminished, and the opening of the Opera-house divided public patronage.
THE ATHENEUM.
The site and building of the State Street Theater, originally called by John M. Kinney, its founder, the Dramatic Temple, having become the property of William A. Neil, of this city, by whom the structure was entirely rebuilt with the exception of the outside walls, it took the name of the Atheneum, and was opened as a place of public entertainment on the evening of November 13, 1871, with the opera of " The Doctor of Alcantara." Since then, it has been leased by the enterprising proprietor to all applicants who cater, in a legitimate and reputable way, for public amusement, and has become a place of popular resort.
The new Atheneum is admired by all who visit it. It is so entirely different in its arrangements and appointments from the old theater which it has replaced, that no one who has seen both, can fail to pronounce it a far more fitting abode for the Muses and Graces. Many buildings devoted to similar purposes are more pretentious in outside appearance, but few equal it in the comfort, convenience, and elegance of the interior and the appointments of the stage.
The Atheneum is not circumscribed by the walls of the old

theater. A handsome front has been added, containing the stair- cases and a spacious vestibule for the accommodation of crowded assemblies entering or leaving the proscenium. The height of the arch of the proscenium is thirty-three feet, and the height of the ceiling, forty-one feet. The number of registered seats is about 1,200, but an audience of 1,500 persons can be comforta- bly and eligibly seated. The parquette and dress circle are sup- plied with cane-bottomed seats. The dimensions of the stage are 60 by 50 feet. The building is warmed by furnaces, and every one who has passed an evening in it, even in the coldest weather, speaks in the highest terms of its warmth and comfort. The cost of rebuilding and fitting up this fine place of public . entertainment was twenty thousand dollars.
The Atheneum has the advantage of a central location, being situated on the ground floor, in the very heart of the city, on the south side of State street, opposite the State-house, and in the immediate vicinity of the large hotels and other places of general resort.
THE OPERA-HOUSE.
The Opera-House building, not excelled by any block in the city, was completed in the summer of 1864. It was first called by the proprietors, " Union Block," but by the public generally, " Cotton Block." It has, however, of late years, more usually received the appellation of Opera-house building or block. It is situated in the heart of the city, on the west side of High street, between Town and Rich streets. It is four stories high. The first floor contains seven large rooms, suitable for stores or other extensive business. In the front part of the second and third stories are rooms used chiefly for offices. But the grand feature of the building is the opera hall or house, occupying the three upper stories in the rear of the southwest portion of the structure. It is 86 feet in width by 110 in length, and 33 feet in height. It has 1,190 registered seats, and can seat about 1,450. The stage is 36 feet deep, and the auditorium 74 by 86 feet. The parquette is 50 by 44 feet, and is furnished with 300 neat and comfortable chairs. The dress circle has six rows of seats, all elegantly upholstered, and will comfortably seat 450 persons. The gallery, or upper circle, has five rows of uphol- stered seats, and will accommodate 425 persons. There are four private boxes finished in excellent style, and each will seat eight persons. The hall has frequently accommodated fifteen hundred people, and the audience, on some occasions, has numbered nearly two thousand persons at an evening's entertainment.
The walls and ceilings are neatly painted, frescoed, and orna- mented with panels. The front of the gallery is decorated with

The stage is furnished with nine commodious dressing-rooms and all other needed conveniences. The curtains and scenery belonging to the proprietors elicit the admiration of all who see them.
The block was erected by B. E. Smith, Theodore Comstock, and C. P. L. and Theodore H. Butler. The Opera-house, or Hall, was built by Messrs. Smith and Comstock, and under the immediate supervision of the latter. The frescoing was done by Mr. Pedretti, of Cincinnati; the painting, by John Knopf, of this city ; the scene painting, by Wm. F. Porter, of Cincinnati, an eminent artist. Messrs J. C. Auld & Son, of this city, were the architects of the building, including the hall.
The Opera-house has been in pretty constant use since its completion, for theatrical performances, for operas and concerts, for political conventions, and other large assemblies.
MUSICAL SOCIETIES.
The development of musical taste and skill is usually com- mensurate with the progress of a community in civilization and refinement. Columbus can, in this respect, exhibit a fair record, and at the present time demonstrate that her standard of musical talent and taste is elevated in proportion to her high standing in wealth, population, and resources. But this position in the musical world has been attained by slow degrees, and in the face of many obstacles encountered and overcome. Until of late years, our community was not in a condition to appreciate, much less to encourage the cultivation of music to any considerable extent. Various societies were formed, from time to time, for improvement in both vocal and instrumental music, but were generally but short-lived. Into an account of these extinct musical clubs or societies, we do not propose to enter, but simply to confine ourselves to brief notices of existing ones.
In addition to the history of music in our city that will be necessarily embodied in our sketches of existing societies, it is proper to refer to two leading events that had a decided in- fluence in promoting among us a love for, and a cultivation of the "art divine." These two events were the two great festivals of the " Sængerbund," held in Columbus-the first in 1852, and the second in 1865. The latter was particularly attractive in its series of rare and grand musical entertainments, and in the delightful social enjoyment and festivity with which it was crowned. But both these festivals have been described at length in the historical portion of this work.

THE GERMAN MANNERCHOR .- J. P. Bruck, now commissioner of Franklin county, and nine other German residents of the city, on the 27th of October, 1848, met and organized the Ger- man Mænnerchor, of Columbus, the oldest and leading German glee-club in the capital of Ohio, consisting at present of over one hundred members.
The society met at first in small private rooms; then for a time in an attic over the store now occupied by W. H. & D. M. Aiken, and afterward established its headquarters successively at the following places : Hettersheimer's Hall, until 1867 ; Naugh- ton Hall, in 1867-68; Straeder's Hall, 1868 till 1872. On De- cember 2, 1872, the Mænnerchor moved its headquarters to the magnificent Germania Hall, built expressly for its use by J. & L. Zettler, corner of Friend and Fourth streets, and leased to the society for ten years.
