ancient times it was highly esteemed.
Virgil called it "donum cacieste." Detno-

sented to the Emperor Augustus, who
asked him how it was that he obtained
such an old age. He answered, "7utus

so is music strengthening 10 the soul and

Most archly did my darling speak
Why some come true and some do not !;
Dreams like this do, / quite believe"
And then she kissed me twice, and got
Her waist cntangled in my sleeve.
And the beautiful ballad:
When we are parted let ne lie

Yes, such are the fancics which crowd
ones mind while he listens to the beauti-
ful music ut Climore's Garden. As n
summer resort Gilmorc's is now the
fayoritc place. 1t is now open for the
season, and is far more attractive than
heretofore. 1t is completely transformed
and rc-arranged throughout the entire
building, (thc old hippodromc) The
walks are more spacious, hGording ample
room for the immense crowd which at
tends every evening to enjoy the superb
music of Gilmorc's Military Band. This
garden is truly the only respectable sum-
mer retreat in the city, except the Park.
Without doubt it is the most magnificent
place of public entertainment in the
world. The decorations are all rev, and
Of the richest designs, consisting of ma
tional flags and coat Of arms of each
State in the Union, surrounded by stars
and stripes. Thousands of different col
orcd lights are arched across the dome,
and lovely fountains Of cold water dash
ing their spray hithcr and thither, and
fine statuary, and an enormous stage in
the centre, tastily ndorn the Garden.
Everything is gotten up on an extern
sive and elaborate plan. No time has
been spared in gathering together the
most expensive plants, trees, flowers and
shrubs that could be found in all parts of
the world. The statuary and fountains
are scattered among tho soft palms and
rarest exotics. The "Grand Cascade"

Il, brilliancy to the charming scene, where
millions of vari-colored lights and calci-
ums illuminate the enchanting spectacle
of uncxampled beauty, and bring out all
the glorics of u grand panorama.
Gilmorc's great Military Band, which
has been proclaimed the finest in this
country, has been making extraordinary
efforts, through tedious series of rehear-
sails, in preparing their "repctairs" for
this season which, from the difficulty and
snricty of Tic Music to be produced,
cannot fail to win the appreciation and
approval of all lovers of music. 1t il Mr..
Gilmore's intention to attend the ap-
preaching Paris Exposition with the en-
.i.c band, where they hope TO be able SC
carry away the firs. prize as tie repre-
sentative band of America. The fol-
lowing will give your readers some faint
conception Of the extent of this military
organization: The favorite soloists are
sr. Arbucki:5, f!orns.: E. A. I4efetre.
Saraphone; r. Letsch, Trambonc, and
Qureph Ellcr, Obce; Signor dc Carlo,
Piccolo; Karo Xegel, Clarionet; B. e..
Bent, Cornet, and Siguor Ciccone, Clari-
onet. All of the above are the best solo
performers in the profession. Besides
the soloes we have the quartet of flutes,
quartet of oboes, quartet CT Saraphones,
Quartet of cornets, quartet of French
horns, quartet of trambones, quartet of
bassoons, quartet of tubas. No other
organization, it is said, is able to perform
such variety of music.

it is more admired OH account of its
name than for any superior musical tai

mclodious or not, would be attractive to
tho majority of visitors to Gilmore's Gar.
den The. composition of music is an
entirely new role for Mr.. Brignoli; how
ever, we are. glad of the success that this
piece has met with. He is good tenor
singer, which nobody can deny, but not
a good composer, we fear. E. to s. I
