InOUsc-A Combined Success
Vermont Lodge No. /, knights Of Py-
thias, of Rutland, received their friends at
Opera House last evening. The occasion
was made one of rare enjoyment, super
induced by the many delightful effects
combined together, each one of which was
sufficient to make it rare social event in
the life of Vermont Lodge No. /, and of
all who were so fortunate as to share the
evenings entertainment with them. The
Rutland Opera House put on its most in
viting look to receive within its walls the
happy company who assembled, and was
made to echo to the music of one
of New England's best companies of
musicians, to the valiant tread of the
hundred and more Sir Knights and TO the
merry tripping of joyous feet until the
eve sma" hours of morning came. The
entertainment as whole might be briefly
mentioned as all emphatic success for those
who planned and carried out its arrange
ments but the mere mention of 80 ac-
knowledged fact is not sufficient for the
public at large, to Rutland ms n whole
who have heard nothing the past few
weeks but the sounds of its Preparations
or to the many who attended and who
would wish to give some little expression
to their pleasure as enjoyed at the hands of
the worthy Sir Knights. The latter, too
demand at our hands more than single
word on this occasion. They number
many of our most well-known business
men and young gentlemen of no little
social standing in Rutland, while as an or
ganization they have shown well their en-
terprise IN the success which crowned their
efforts last evening. But we must not
dwell upon glittering generalities we
must hasten to tell what took place. First
came

The programme as whole could not fail |
to be of especial interest to musicians and |
all lovers of music as an art. The render
ing of the entire programme by the band |
was worthy of much praise, the precision |
of attack, the wonderful command of ere
scendo and diminuendo, the entire ccarness
of tone even in passages where there was
danger of Misunderstanding and the perfect
discipline and balance between the various
departments of the band being parti, ularly
noticeable. The selections were, perhaps,
of too unfamiliar character to some of the
audience, embracing as they did hardly any
of those old familiar and more favored airs
that have been played from time immcmorial
by different bands and orchcstras, yet it could
not but be said that in nearly every selec-
ton could be felt harmony and beauty of
musical effect that was sure to charm and
take captive the musical tastes of the nearer.
The concerted numbers were all of a high
order of music, the Overtures being cspeci-
ally classical, while the waltz, the serenade,
the potpourri from the opera of Z" Troy
atore," the "Mexican March," were full of
delicate bits of melody and harmonious
strains of the sweetest of chords. The vio-
lin solo Of Mr.. Echler, the leader of the
band was given with an effect IAN earncstness
and finish which would alone be sufficient
TO give him rank as one of the best of lead
ers the solo of Mr.. Shuebruk was one of
the best things of the evening and warmly
received while the trombone o5lgato of
Mr.. Regestein gave to many new idea of
the richness of melody contained in that
instrument.
