tees the privilege of using artillery in the
march effects. A platform 24x40 feet has
been erected on the south of the main hall
against the wall of the machinery section.
In front of this 1000 seats in two sections
are being placed. The gallery will be for a
promenade, with such seats as can be placed
next to the rail. The managers are solicit
GUS that attention be called to the fact
that these entertainments are in no re-
spect of theatrical character, but are con-
certs such as Gilmore has given on Sundays
in all the great capitals of America and
Europe. The band numbers, it is said,
sixty-fiv pieces. OF these, twelve are
played by solo artists. There are eight
vocalists with the band, and the payroll
and expenses of the entire party amounts
to $1,000 a day. Signorina De We're re-
ceives $1,000 a week Myron Whitney,
$1,000; Campanini, $3.50; and others in
proportion. At each concert Gilmore pre-
sides with the baton. He prides himself
on these great concerts, not one of which
in the last seventeen years has ever proved
failure. He takes pride, also, in the chal-
lenge that no musical combination has
ever brought to the coast SO many first
class artists, and that his present troupe is
the largest and strongest, artistically and
musically, that he has ever handled. At
Denver, last week, the people furnished
him a chorus of $50 voices, and some 49,
600 people attended the concert. Three of
the four female singers are American born:
Clara Poole, the prima donna of the Ma
tional Opera Company Blanche Stone
Barton, who won her first triumph at the
Worcester Musical Festivals, and Jennie
Dickersop, native of Newbergh, N. Y,
who held, when but seventeen years of age,
one of the first choir positions in the
United States, and who was Carl Rosa s
prima donna contralto in his opera COM
pany. Devere was born in Paris, of an
English mother aud French father. 1t is
claimed for her that she has all of Gers
ter's fine execution and voice of the same
mellow, hute-like quality. Gilmore's first
visit to the coast was in 1876, when the
First Regiment Of Infantry, in San Fran
CISCO turned out and gave him the high
compliment of reception and escort on
the day Of his arrival The seating plan
for the concerts in Sacramento will be
ready at Houghton's book store this fore

On Sunday an account was published in
these columns of the organization of the
Froebel Society by large number of public
spirited young ladies, to aid in the support
of the Sacramento Free Kindergarten.
They will devote themselves largely to
furnishing needy children with clothing
and proper outfit for the school, and will
also sustain the burden of raying for one
teacher in the school. 1t is praiseworthy
endeavor, and should have hearty and gen.
erou. support. Monday evening next, at
the Clnnie Opera House. they will appeal
TO the public. As they do not wish to beg,
but for all the money they collect give ample
equivalent, they have arranged with Miss
Ida Bentley, now of New York, but FORM
erly of California. to give recital of Ten
nyson's Elaine Miss Benfey's recitals
in San Francisco won the highest praise
from the press and the commentator of
the severest critics. The New York Nail
and Express thus spoke of her recital of
Elaine" Miss Bentley appeared in q
costume appropriate to the period of Ten

her voice is unusually rich and flexible,
