The grand orchestra for oratories will be aug
i mented in proportion. The combined brass, reed,
and strnged instruments will probably aggregate
about eleven hundred. The orchestra will doubtless
b. the largest and most complete ever organized.
The Big Drum.
The great bass drum, which was constructed under
the direction Of the veteran drummer, Nahum j.
Baldwin, is eight feet in diameter; the heads being
made from the hides Of two mammoth oxen, and
= upon each end is painted the motto, "Let us
have peace" 1t is about three feet through
XEhom head to head, and the rim is painted
red white and blue. Mr. Baldwin pro-
lOunces it perfect in all its parts, and the manu-
factures state that no larger drum can be made
less the hides of elephants are employed for the
heads The fact Of the drum having been con-
&structed under the superintendent of Mr.. Nahum
J. Baldwin gave rise to a ridiculous report that
OBaldwin, the Irish giant, had been engaged to
beat 1t.
