The great hall was filled at an early hour,
many being unable to- find seats. The
peices selected were generally very difficult
and too CLASSIFICATION apopdlar audience. Be-
sides those to whom prizes were awarded,
the Fifiu Cumberland" and the Sandusky
Maenarehof wsre very faserably received
and the Misses Woodwork of Cleveland, and
Prof. Doll were heartily encopd- The con-
cert was pleasant entertainments to all and
feast to musical scholars and critics.
rHE SECOND DAY.
At 9A. M. on Wednesday, the Brass
Bands met at Mammoth Hall, arranged the
programme for the day and marched in pro-
cession to the New Fair Grounds where pre-
parations had been made for the contest for
the prizes. After lunch provided by the
Fremont Band for their guests, the trial for
the first prize took place, the Union Silver
Rand of Toledo and the Great Western Band
Of Sandusky being the Competitors, the for
mer playing potpouri from" Anna Bclena"
and au Overture the latter potpouri from
sLucretia Borgia" and an overture from
Norma" ar-- fIir 81. sfal o. ~
Prof. Boos' Cornet Bind Of Tiffin played
for the second prize without opposition the
pieces selected being cavatina from 'Stran-
iera'' by Verdi and an overture entitled
ssAmaters at home.
The Bellevue Union Band were also the
only contestants for the third prize, playing
the International Q Quickstep."
The contest for the first prize was very
close. the "Silver Band" and ''Grest West
ern" being very nearly equal, the @silver
Band having quite as many champions
among musical critics as the other. Their
selection of music however was not SO good
as their rivals and we incline to the opinion
that their musical training and culture were
not fully tested.
Prof. Boos' Band played admirably and
would not have been out of place in the trial
for the first prize, and the Union Band of
Bellevue made as creditable an appearance
as anyconsidering thetimeit has been organ
lied.
Afterthe trial was over the bandsand spec
tators adjourned to the. Public Square to hear
the reports of the Judges and the awarding
of the prizes.
