The German Band Concert.

As previously announced, the German Sill
yer Cornet Band, under direction of Prof
Knabe, gave promenade concert last night in
Col. Croziers yard. That their excellent mu-
sic was appreciated was attested by the hun
dreds that stood or promenaded within hear
ing distance during the hours the music was
discoursed. The programme as published was
followed strictly and all requests for additional
pieces or changes politely refused.
Our German citizens who compose this band
are certainly deserving of great praise for this
voluntary contribution to the public Of such an
excellent entertainment. Prof. knabe, for many
years standing at the head of the musical tai
ent of our city, by his efficient instruction and
persevering efforts. has given Knoxville corps
of musicians of which we have reason to be
proud. With this band, with the Phiharmon-
ic Society, of which he is chorister, and with
his large music classes of all ages, he has cult
waited among our people taste for music that
adds much to the pleasure of the teacher, the
pupils and the public. In his quiet, unassum-
ing way he has gradually built foundation
upon which we can build largely, and we trust
he may be encouraged to prosecute his efforts.
After the concert, the Band proceeded to the
court house and serenaded the Farmers Con-
Yention.
