MUsIcAL.-Jesse Shepard, the
musical wonder, whose attain
ments are far beyond the
reach of any musician of the
age, will appear in Yesler's Hall
tomorrow evening. The box
sheet is now open at Jack Levy's.
Mr.. Shepard will initiate the
best efforts of leading musicians
of past ages, both on the piano
and with the human voice. It
is sufficient for US to say that in
his tour of the continent from
New York to Seattle, the press
has united in speaking Of his en-
tertainments, in such terms
as "wondertul, y" most astonish-
ing," "unapproachable," etc,
with not a single adverse critl-
cism.

ily here in year or two, as that is
about as long as any one who has
ever lived here can stay away from
Seattle.
