Another Successful Day-A Ball for
Monday Night on the Tapis-VarIOus
Notes from the Coliseum,

COLISEUM, BosroN, June 2S.-The audience
this afternoon was very large. The English
German and French bands, the ninth regiment
band of New York, Peschka-Leu tner, the Berlin
cornet quartette, MIR. Arbuckle and Strauss,
were the features of peculiarly instrumental
programme, the chorus being called upon for
only two hymns, which the audience could have
sung with better effect
The French band. performed the Beautiful
blue Danube, complimentary to Strauss.
Mr.. Arbuckle's cornet solo, "Alexis, was re-
ceived with marked favor and encored.
The French band performed this evening.
The Gilmore testimonial on tomorrow will be
a grand affair, and already tickets are selling
at rapid rate. All the foreign bands appear,
and also the Ninth regimental Of New York
and GilmOre's of this city. Herr Strauss has
written waltz expressly for the occasion, and
dedicated it to Mr.. Gilmore. 1t bears the APP
propriate title of "The Jubilee Waltz" and in
PRODUCES the "Star Spangled Banner" in waltz
time. Strauss will himself direct its perform
ance. Both Madame Peschka-Le6tner and
Madame Rudersdorff are TO sing. The members
of the chorus are 10 turn out in fuller numbers
than at any previous concert of the
week. During the progress of the jubi-
lee Mr.. Gilmore has personally interested
himself to the fullest extent in the welfare and
comfort of the chorsters, and has done all in
his power to add TO their enjoyment. There
will also be grand turnout of all classes of our
citizens, while excursion trains over the rail-
roads at reduced prices will bring thousands
from other places. The mechanics employed in
some of the large manufactures have requested
their employers to dismiss them from labor
Saturday afternoon in order that they may at
tend the jubilee, and there is every prospect OF
lam such as has not been witnessed since the
day of the arrival of the president.
Monday will be the Irish day, the Dublin
band being expected. A grand programme has
been prepared for the fourth of July.
New Haven wants the Grenadier band to pay
it visit, but Lieut. Col. Fludyer has shown to
the invitation committee his governments writ
ten instructions to play nowhere except at the
jubilee The band has an invitation from every
city in the United States.
The Irish citizens are making great prepare
tions for the reception of the band. Many Of
the houses of the most prominent Irish citizens
will be decorated, aud the decorations bid fair
to eclipse those usually attending St. Patrick's
day.
Chas. F. Holden and John NJ Calvin have, it
is understood, made a proposition to purchase
the coliseum and fit it up for a permanent
menagerie. The Reiches with whom Mr.. Hol-
den is connected, own a large number of the
birds and animals in Central park, New York,
which would form strong nucleus for an en-
terpriSe OF this kind.
The members of the chorus, who have con-
tributed SO largely to the success of the Jubilee,
were disappointed in not being allowed to occu-
py their seats at the ball, Wednesday night. In
justice to them, however, the executive commit
tee have determined to give ball on Monday
evening next, which, in point of music and
decorations, will be equal to the first Souvenir
tickets will admit 10 the floor and all parts OF
the coliseum.
