Mr.. Leopold Bohny, the enterprising and
liberal proprietor of Apollo Hail. corner of
Main and Poydras streets, is always study
ing out and carrying into execution some
measure for the enjoyment of his patrons
and the entertainment of the public. His
last move in this direction is the engage
ment of splendid band for Apollo Hall,
which nightly discourses the sweetest music
that ever charmed the ear in Dallas. There
are four musicians, violinist, n pianist, u
clarionet and cornet player. These
musicians severally are all artists, all SUI
perb and excellent in the extreme on their
respective instruments, and collectively
they cannot be surpassed. Their concerts
each evening are exceedingly delightful,
and they attract hundreds to listen to the
sweet concord of sounds that with rich and
voluptuous swell load the evening air. A
spacious hall, with elegant appurtenances
and most comfortably furnished and fitted
up with pure liquors and wines, fresh,
cold beer and most fragrant cigars, and po-
lite and watchful attendants and its charm
ing concerts of operate airs and the newest
melodies, Apollo Hall is to-day the most
delightful and popular resort in all the state
for the willing away of an idle hour.
