| graph Company spent SUNDAY at
Santa Monica, Mr.. Vandenburg re.
naming in Los Angeles. In the
evening the telephone was put into
play between the beach and Los
Angeles, for the entertainment of
| these gentlemen, without very sat
isfactory results. Mr.. Reed was on
hand at the Los Angeles Office with
his violin and Capt. Moore with
his fish horn, but the success was
not as great as attended either the
experiment between Los Angeles
and Santa Ana, or Los Angeles and
San Diego, both very much greater
distances. The battling character
of the seance was doubtless owing
to local atmospheric derange-
| ments.
Mr.. Grouse, agent of the Trouba.
dours received dispatch from Mr..
Salisbury yesterday evening stating
that the troupe were just about
to start for Los Angeles and direct
ing him to postpone the first per-
formance till "Wednesday night as
he did not wish the Troubadours to
make their rentree in this city while
suffering from the fatigue INSOFAR
BILE from the long railroad ride
from San Francisco. This, we
think, is a judicious move on the
part of Mr.. Salisbury as the Troupe,
refreshed by days rest. will be
enabled to produce with greater
vigor the spirited scenes of "Patch-
work." with which they will open
on Wednesday evening.
AS our readers are aware, several
of the boys of the Public School
have formed brass band, under
the tuition of Prof. Guerrier. They
have made fine progress for the
time they have been practicing.
This proves that the Professors
methods are entirely successful.
The band now needs basso and
druu g These instruments are too
expeLsive for the parents of the
pupils to purchase, being worth
from $50 TO $65 each. The Board
of Education cannot help the boys
as they are short of funds, and the
only way to complete the band is
to call on the generous public. We
hope that the small sum required
may be donated and the boys thus
enabled to conclude their laudable
undertaking.
We again direct the attention of
our readers to the auction sale of
valuable real estate on Alameda
street, which will be offered by Mr..
E. w. Noyes on the premises at 10
A. NJ. tomorrow. This highly inn
proved property consists of twenty
acres, on which are planted 700 OF
ange and other fruit trees and
1000 of the best varieties of grapes,
besides large number of orna-
mental trees and shrubs. The
other mprovements are good
new residence of seven rooms and
the usual outbuildings. A rare
chance is offered to any one desir-
Ing to secure an elegant home.
Mr.. Charles Hasselman, the we'll
known artist, has entered into
partnership with Mr.. T.. Parker in
the photograph business, at IS
Main street, Downey Block. Both
gentlemen are thorough adopts in
their respective lines and their
purpose is to turn out none but the
best work. In addition to photo
ali IVA
portraits in oil, pastel, colored and
black crayons, water color, India
ink, etc.; also Ie-touching for the
trade. The firm IS a very strong one
from an artistic point, and cannot
fail to give satisfaction to all who
may require their services.
Mr.. Kimball will give the first
grand promenade Concert of the
season at Union Hall, on Saturday
evening, May 18th, 1873. The Los
Angeles Cornet Band will fur
nish music for the occasion, and
every Friday thereafter these
promenade concerts will take place.
They will be thorough additions
to the ordinary round of amuse-
ments Of Los Angeles. Mr.. Kim.
ball will find q ready response In
our people to his enterprising eff.
forts to provide them with refined
and social enjoyments. The Hall
has been thoroughly renovated.
We are inclined to think that our
people want little fun-first-class
rip-roaring fun-and the SAILS
bury's are the very persons to give
it to them. What Angeleiio fails
to remember the charming Nellie
McHenry, the mellow, inimitable
Gourlay, Blanche Corelli and the
rest? This time Salisbury himself
the king pin of the combination =
will be along. The opening has
been postponed from tonight till
tomorrow Wednesday, night.
The box sheets are open at Upham
& Rae's and those who desire good
places should secure them ahead.
The dry goods and novelty store
of Charles Prayer, at No. s Com
mercial street, Is an attractive re-
solt to the ladies' OF Los Angeles.
Mr.. Prayer has one of the most ex {.
tensive and recherche stocks of
goods ever brought to Los Angeles,
and there is absolutely nothing
necessary to the feminine toilette
which may not be found in his
store. He has been guided in his
purchases by thorough knowledge
of the requirements of this section,
and the latest fashions and novel
ties may be at all times inspected
at No. s Commercial street. Give
him call.
A very gratifying rehearsal of
the Jubilee Singers took place last
evening. The full chorus was
present, together with the Orches.
