Another big day for Gilmore's Jubilee; the ther-

OF over twenty thousand and an ocean OF enthusi-

tell the story. In numbers the attendance
was almost equal to yesterday The
crowds outside, too, were Just az large and Just as
hearty in their applause OF what few strains OF
music they could gather, as was the multi
tude OF $4,000 the day before. Everything

could not disturb or interfere with the general
desire OF the multitude to and look at the vast

THE AUSTRIAN DAY.
To-day was the Austrian day, with Strauss alone
to represent his countrymen. The Grenadier
Guards Band and Nine. Arabella Goddard made their
second appearance. The bill opened with national
hymn by Keller, which Of the usual canticle
order Here word should be said about the pro-
grammes. There has not yet been concert
given in which the programme was other than
shabby little piece OF paper, plainly gotten up for
an advertising dodge alone, and full OF
