AFTER the Intoxicating success of their ap

members of the Oakland Ideal Orchestra VIII

Mr. WILLIAM GUENTHER, with his own
| orchestra and the Great Western Band, under
| Mr. b. Weis, will reopen the summer-night

be heard here on an occasion when atteptlon
will be directed more to the musical than the
social and charitable features. Mr.. Sousa and
his band also earned hearty welcome for

their members. Our neighborIng town, New

During the prolonged teur Just completed
each member of this remarkable family has
contributed his or her share to the musical en-
tertainments they gave, among the features of
