THE MEXICAN TYPICAL ORCHESTRA.
This world. renowned organization, which
is composed OF twenty-five professors OF
music from the Royal Conservatory OF

Orchestra is .said to De more OF novelty
and far superior IN every way TO the once
famous Spanish Students. They come to Us
direct from their recent triumphs at the New
Orleans Exposition, where they were the
rejgning sensation for several days, and were
accorded a reception that amounted to al
most an ovation. Speaking of recsnt con-
cert an exchange says: The Mexican must.
clans were at the Grand last night and were
received with the widest enthusiasm. The
name OF the organization (Mexican Typi-
cal Bsud) was well chosen. That
they are Mexicans is well to be

full drese, complexion and features, but

makes for itself sweet and wonderful strains,
but the music brought forth last night By

! The audience was won from the irst over
ture, Ray mond," in which the power of the
orchestra was shown, and until the closing
overture, Picture Dame" every piece was
eBcored again and again, and even when the
curtain had gone down for the evening the

the curtain was again raised and short
medley played.
Senior Antonio in "Rgoletto" on the vic.
lin won the greatest victory OF the evening
Senior A. D1az de la Vega in "Lucretia
Boreia'' on the bandolin, and Senior Carlos
Curt in his xylophone shared honors. 1t
