THE PROGRAMME OF THE DAY
opened with the overture from Beethoven s
"Egmont," played by the Prussian Guards who
IN their efforts to win the approval of the white
haired Philosopher OF Chappaqua exerted their best

affinity for lager, the spring water, the crystal
fountains and all that sort Of thing he pockesed
his prejudices. and by his generous and energetic
applause showed his belief that after all there might
De some virtue IN lager. Nor was the effort to
pions of lager wished to captiyate him who hoped to
be the next occupant Of the White House, and the
result was visible in amore than ordinarily careful
rendering OF their selections. When they concluded
their overture, the audience agDified their adm-
ration IN repeated rounds of applause, ana it was
about "Die Wacht Am Rhein.r but the sons OF
Fatherland, not having heard the good mans
gently mulmnred wishes, played q German march.
Instead OF the usual system Of opening the pro-
gramme with the sOcalled Grand Chorus, orches
ira, &C., the directors adopted the plan to-day OF
beginning with the bands ana following with the
chorus,
"FAREwELL TO THE FOREST"
without any accompaniment. Public opinion has
at last at the eleventh. hour succeeded In siencng
the monster and INDUSTRIOUS organ which, up to
this has been allowed 70 below forth sounds

ing than has hitherto been observable owing to the
overpowering strains OF the organ, before whose
awful notes even the hoarse voice Of the cannon
became weak and indstinct.
MADAME PESCHKA-LEUrNER FOLLOWED
with one Of her most brilliant efforts. The lady'ss
whole attention was fixed on the venerable face Of
the meek-looking woodchopper, and she brought
forth all her sweetest and most brd-like notes in

THE IRISH BAND
played long selection of Irish airs, with good
deal of decacy and exquisite feeling. Every day
the execution OF this band improves, and it Is now

unusually good. There is little doubt that the band

working together, which was so notably absent In
their first performance. Under the leadership Of

while the nervous little man in the black suit

DELIGHTED WITH THE ANVIL CHORUS
His delight eliminated in the "Anvn Chorus
with It's suggestiveness Of the music OF labor in
which the philosopher is a nrm believer. The
Guarde Republcaine executed the long-promised
overture from "LOhengrin," which some of the
musical critics noticed so rapturousy, about week
before 1t was played, owing to slip on the pro.
gramme:. This is one OF the amusing features of
the Jubilee. Nearly every day telling criticisms
appear in one OF other of the papers or presses
that have been omitted, and the horror of the I'M
fortunate correspondents when they discovered
their mistakes can be better imagined than de-
scribed, But this has occurred now so often that
1t is beginning to be looked on as a matter OF
course. The critics are somewhat dspirited and
denloralized at the constant repetiti0ns and the
oppressive duness that have characterized this Jubi
lee affair nom the beginning.
IN SPITE OF THE HEAT,
which continues excessive, the people reused them
selves to great pitch OF excitement under the in
0uence Of the performance OF the French, and with
Kindness somewhat akin to cruelty, they insisted
on double encore, which the Garde Republcaine
gave with the best conntenances they could put
1t was however, visible that the men were tired and
anxious to escape. They gave the ''Star Spangled
Banner and the 'Marseiaiser in response to the
imperative demands of the audience, and then beat
a hasty but by no means ing0riOus retreat. The
second part opened with the hymn, "All Hail the
Power OF Jesus Name" in which those OF the
cordsnt effect. 1t was followed by Gugllelmis'
''Gratius Agimus Tib" which was sung by Mrs. H.
M. Smith, with clarionct oblgate by Mr. Thomas
Ryan. Then the atr0cious "Anvil Chorus' was
rung in with its vulgar sensationaism AS a relief
the German Emper0r's cOrnet quartet played
Mornings "Fest Gruss," with marked delicacy Of
execution the audience signifyng their approval
by requiring an encore.
THE ENGLISH BAND
played viviani's grand professional march, "The
Silver Trumpets," as played in st. Peters at Rome
on Christmas and Easter Day. The performance
was brilliant and elected prolonged applause,
which was only brought to an end by the band
striking up the '.Star Spangled Banner' and "God
Save the Queen," both of which were enthusiastic
ally received.
