I,dlnnnnoIls MnsIcnI FestiYnI.

INnIANAPoLIs, May 14.-The prepara.
tions for the three days Musical Festival
to be held here next week are fully COM
plcted. The event promises to be n
worthy successor to the Cincinnati Fcs-
tival. The solo singers are Mrs. Smith,
Miss Crancl, W. y. Winch and Myra W.
Whitney, the sane who sustained the
solo parts at Cincinnati. The chorus il
comprised Of one hundred voices, and il
under the direction Uf Prof. j. 5. Block,
director of the Choral Union, who has
been drilling the singers for months
The orchestra Is full and complete. The
Festival will be held in the Academy Of
Music. lIaydens OrNtOriO Of the Seasons
will be produced on Monday night, selec'
tions from IIandel's "Mesiah' on Tues
day night, and on Wednesday night Il
concert of miscellaneous productions by
the solo artists. Special arrangements
have been made with all the railroads
running into the city.
This festival has proven that Ameri
cans can appreciate music OF the highest
ordcr,when artistically rendered, and they
will soon rival those Of the European
communities for their devotion to art and
music. There Is II feeling now In favor
OF the erection of permanent buildings
for festivals, and steps will doubtless bC
taken looking to that result. Much credit
Is given to Col. Geo. Ward, Nichols W
TAYLOR and others of the managers fol
the triumph which II is felt the concert
lima achieved.

t,iosins Of thc l.eunion.

CmcAuo, May l4.--The closing iea'
lures Of the Reunion was the competition
drill for the prize flag, which took place
this afternoon. The Governors Guards,
Of Springfield, and Myers Cadets, Of
Toledo, were far ahead Of any Of the 9th.
er competitors, and between these two a
close contest for the prize ensued. The
Guards have been much admired In this
city for their precision in marching, uni
forms and general appearance. The same
may also be said Of the Cadets. Both
organizations were splendidly drilled
and In good condition, An immense
crowd witnessed the drilling, which was
excellent. The judges, Gen. Drum, Gen.
Sibley, Of Massachusetts; Gen. stark.
weather, Of Wisconsin; Gen. Hascall, Of
Indiana, and Major Chase, Of Rhode
Island, unanimously decided that the
prize should be awarded to the Gov
ernor's Guard, Of Springfield. Their de.
cision was, II is thought, Just, impartial
and satisfactory. Recognizing the Splen.
aid qualities which the Myers Cadets dis.
played on this occasion, Il was decided
Thai second flag should he presented to
them.
