SUNDAY CONCERT AT GrLMoRE's GARDEN.
The atmosphere in Gilmoros Garden yesterday
evening wanted the breeze that wandered Of
TO make perfect The nrst impression on entering
was Of warmth but that was due 10 the compare
tive stiffness OF the air. for In u little while one
listened to the narmoniss with very agreeable sense
Of bodily GOODNESS. In paying this attention
to the thermal condition OF tho garden
We but follow tho general bent OF thoushs
which now examines the cool and the warm Of things
sublunary before taking account Of any other quail
ties. Theodore Thomas was th ere, his orchestra
there It's central das, and over In the southwest
corner, a little das OF It's own, was LoypoId.'s
Military Band. The audience filled the cnairs before
the orchestra and indeed all the chairs oil the garden
and posted little squads up among the seats that
always recall tho rampant Barnum times. II was NOT
a crowded audience, but there was enough OF It foi
comfort II kept notably quiet during the pieces Of
parts with two sdntcrmissions." In reality there
was NO intermssion 1t ALL for no sooner had Thomas
s the 0so -. oan 90 1 @
Weber and Others and do LeypoId but, Of course,
they gave them with differences. Wo merely poini
this out TO show that tho military band II by NO
means intended as sop to the Philistines, although
We half hoped would have been. Moreover,
il came in little late a, nrst in the God Save the
Queen" nnaie to wsbsr's "Jubiiee Overture" Per.

took to travel 10 tho writer's ear from the southwest

crunched the gravel
II was very pleasant at quiet during the regular
programme and study the garden. Al imminen

fairy psgodss amid fairy forest, and
breed OF fairies did not come out there when the
garden was closed and the yasehs out 10 catch some
faint slant of moonshins and dance TO- the echo OF
some OF the larry music. Perhaps Bat the fancy
that seemed suited 10 tho sad little plots Of green
that the 'iite people" used ~ as cemetery for
the last rites after they had played for tnemseives
the Funeral March OF Marionette." All this BY
way excursion Of vagabond thought was possible,
although the popular mind after commenting on the
music and the thci momstsr bore unmissakably 10
