the piece has great merit, although on
account of the general anticipation OF
rain shared by the members of the
band it did not receive that finishing
rendition that it otherwise would.
Strauss "Prince Mathusalem Over
ture has more the character of a med
ley than most oyertures. 1t is full Of
bright, sparkling melodies. so charac-
teristic of the composer, which goes
to make his music so popular general
ly. Bric-a-Brac by Missud is one
of the best medleys published. 1t is
full of beautiful and familiar melodies
among which may be mentioned
/" Birds of the Night" by Sullivan,
and many other gems that are rich in
musical effects The Fifth Air
Varie," by Brepsant, as rendered by
Mr.. L. E. Mason at once placed this
talented young clarinettist among the
front rank of the solo performers of
the band. The execution and musical
taste shown in the rendition of his
solo, WINS general surprise to every
one. The "Spanish Fantasia" by
Binns. characteristic piece repre-
senting the usual style of music of
that country at once rather odd but
pleasing, was well rendered by the
band. The concert was concluded by
a sparkling little Galop by Weigen,
which does honor to its name, THE
Dash"
This band deserves great credit in
giving these concerts which are enjoy
ed by everybody, and when we take
this into consideration and remember
the band hitherto has not asked more
support than is asked by many of the
other organizations ofthe town, every
one should cheerfully contribute
something toward getting the band
their much needed uniforms. This
is no more than justice.
