Bold projects and pioneer practices are
the chief characteristics of P. S. Gilmore,
and have made him friends. This year the

steal features along the western slops of
the continent. The Salt Lake city dates
for this novel series of three concerts are
next Thursday and Friday. October 81 and
November 1.-TWO evenings and one
matinee.
Though his music is peacef ii and har-
fE9nious, he comes with martial trappings
and appurteuances, with bugle, drum, can
non and anvil to celebrate his victories in
art and to renew his memorable triumphs.

pie, for his name is the embodiment of the
glory, the majesty of music. At the great
tabernacle, Gilmore will be heard at his
best There is no auditorium in the world
equal to it in size or in acoustic qualities.
The grandeur of the combination of the
organ, military band and an i'm
mense chorus can readily be imagined.

tette of renowned singers, some of whom

Such were the expressions that came
from all quarters of the globe, when the
