THE CONCERT.
After the guests had taken their seats on the
west side of the hall where they had been re-
served for them, the published programme
was carried out by Chandler's and Reeves
bands. Notwithstanding the celebrity OF the
strangers, our own band had no reason 10 Zee
otherwise than proud of their work Ihey
rendered the Suppe overture in tine style'
with delioacy of shading, fullness OF tone
and a precision that won earnest and nearly
applause OF course Reeves Band delghteo
their hearers and they were encored again
and again. Their section of ciarinets is COM
posed of strong players, and the organization
as whole plays with crispness and Driihan'
cy that is inspiring. The War Memories re-
minded the hearer of Grimmer's "a Day at
Fort Preble.'' Mr.. Church played a cornet So
10 SO we'll he received two encores. and played
two old plantation melodies with mucn ex-
preston. Chandlers Band wore tnelr
new uniforms for tho first time, and they are
yery handsome. The uniform is undress,
dark blue coat, vest and trousers. The coat is
q sack pattern, buttoning close to the throat,
With State of Maine buttons, and trimmed
with black Sutra braid across the front, nigh
up on the sleeves and up the back seams WIN
the monogram sc. b." embroidered on each
point of the collar in dead and FURNISHED gold
The vest is single breasted without trimming,
and the trousers have gold cord on each seam.
The caps are helmet pattern with gilt orna-
ment and pike, gilt chain running across the
front and looped up at the back.

After the concert came dress parade con-
Quoted by Col. Sprague, company movements,
silent manual and bayonet exercise, ma lual

nors, j. A. Gallagher, J. Contron, j. T. Nc
Ginty, O. Bennett and P. Gorham, but while
each one was entitled to great praise, McCal-
lum. as usual seized the prize.
THE DANCE.
After the drill the immense audience par
TALLY dispersed, but the floor was soon crowded
with the elegantly attired couples who sought
the enjoyment of the dance, and it was far into
the morning when the last quadrille was call
ed. The floor directors were very assiduous in
their attentions and, in fact, we may say that
In every respect the committee of arrange
ments may be congratulated on the success OF

Great Barnum and London show,

Great BarQum ana LONDON snow.
The greatest show in all the world visits
Portland on Monday, July 10th, which moves
us to say P. T. Barnum is a representative
American, thoroughly understands American
human nature, and, to use one of those homely
but forcible phrases in which he delights to il
lustrate great facts. "knows which side his
bread is buttered on" Where other managers
draw individuals, he draws whole families
and neighborhoods, because where they exhibit
single specimens he trots out groups, herds
and droves of wild animals. Take the present
season as an example. Ii any other show in
the country has even a single Giraffe, it has no
more. Barnum has ten in the tented field, and
an equal number in reserve With other shows
few ordinary elephants-at the most five or
six-make "huge nerd" Rarnum has %
and among them the famous Jumbo, and the
100000 Baby elephant born ct Bridgeport
| February End, 1882. Where they introduce
ono trick horss in the ring, he fills it with Just
| twenty thoroughbred performing stations.
| While they never exhibit any notable animals
| in parade he throws open to the public 16
| cages of rare wild beasts, has led and driven,
| as many more in procession. and supplements
| all this with open dens of majestic and saw
| age performing beas S, with man or woman
trainer in each den. Where they put whatev
| er living human curiosites they may have, in
| side show, he includes the most conspicuous
ones-always high salaried foatures-and pre-
| sents them, without extra charge, i'll the muse
um department of the great show. Where
they make parade with struggling line Of
monotonous cages and perhaps couple OF
| band wagons, he displays 80 genuine chariots
of novel and costly design With them, one
ring and limited company of passable per-
formers suffices. he uses three rings and ills
them all with only the greatest artists. He
| has the only complete Roman Hippodrome in
| America under the largest canvas ever made.
| They are content to move without enterprise
| in one beaten path, and to puff common things
! into prominence. Barnum is ever seeking
| novelties, and expense is always o secondary
| consideration, If the features offered or sought
possess the merit of genuine rarity. Such a
! policy cannot but win.
