Grand Army Concert.

Large and Enthusiastic AudIenee-An
q Entertainment. of Merit - Everybody
Pleased.
large and enthusiastic audience filled the
Grand Opera House last evening to witness
the entertainment given under the auspices
of the Grand Army posts of the city to raise
funds to pay the expenses of Memorial day.
The rising of the curtain revealed pretty
picture. In the foreground was the Ameri-
can band in full uniform, just in the rear
of them were several stacks of arms. In the
extreme rear were two large tents, one
on either side, with fire and camp kettle sus-
pended over it between them. About the fire
were couple of soldiers making their coffee
and cooking piece of steak on stick. The
sentinels passing to and fro made it very
realistic scene. The band rendered 'tA Day
in Camp" in fine style. The cornet calls
must have sounded like old times to the
Camp Ground" was sung by Woody Bush,
'sRally Round the Flag by Fl. A.
Gray, I'd, sIramp, Tramp, the Boys
are Marching by s. s. Thompson,
John Browns Body" by j. II. Jones,
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home by
Woody Bush, the chorus being sung by fifty
young boys, under the direction of Professor
Jepson. The singing of the songs and the
work of the chorus was heartily applauded.
The feature of this part of the entertainment
was the execution of the manual Of arms and
bayenet drill by company of O. @. I.
cadets under the command of Major Stowe.
The manual under command of Capt. French
was finely executed, the cadets moving like
clock work. The bayonet exercise was some
thing aew and was closely watched by the
audience, who would have liked more when
it was finished. It is doubtful if any one of
the city companies could have excelled the
cadets in their drilling. The Silver City
quartette, of Meriden, sang the 'sSweet Rose
Will Bloom Again, " and were obliged to re-
spond to an encore. Dan Canary, the cham
pion bicyclist, was announced to appear,
but was unable to do SO, and Master
George Nash, of this city, rode in his stead.
The young man did some very fine riding.
His attempt at riding on one wheel seemed as
though it would be failure, but he finally
mastered it and rode around the stage amid
the cheers of the audience. The operetta
MY New Maid, sung by Misses Phelps and
Carney, was, as is always the case with these
artists we'll received. Each number of the
programme received liberal share of ap-
plause. The American band acquitted itself
in a very creditable manner.
