The Marine Band Won't PLAY.
The following was received from our
Washington correspondent last night:
WASHINGTON, April 22.-SecretaIy Tracy's
refusal 10 permit the Marine Band to play
ut Richmond on the goth of May is n theme
Of considerable interest here. He gives as
an excuse that as the band will be
needed here on the 8Oth Decoration
day that ne is afraid they could not get
back in time. The prevailing impression
IS that be would not allow the band TO play
in Richmond on such an occasion no mat
ter what time Of the month or year il might
happen. Secretary Tracy is afraid of the
criticism of the northern Radicals, accord
ing TO the general belief here.

LEO WHEAT'S CONCERT.
The Poet of the Piano at the Academy
Last Night.

The concert given at the Academy of
Music last night for the benefit OF the
Young Ladies' Society of the Second Pres
byterian church was as nearly perfect as a
concert may be.
That wonderful poet Of the piano, Leo
Wheat, who in by-gone days was the CEN
tral figure of the music-world of Rich
mond. charmed the large audience with
his exquistely romantic playing. Never
was his virtuosity so apparent as last
night. Under his sympathetic touch the
piano gave forth the sonOrous, resonant
chords, the beautiful harmonies that only
awaken at the touch of the hi nd of genius.
His playing is the triumph of tone over
technic; it is charming alike to the critical
and the simple.
DR.. Thomas Nelson Page read selec-
ton from one of his works in the quiet.
undemonstrative way so characteristic Of
him, and prefaced his reading with few
| happy remarks about Mr. Wheat and his
playing.
The songs in the programme were sung
by Mise Anime Hammer aud Captain Frank
/ W. Cunningham. The singing was de-
| lightful. and was much heightened in eff
feet by Nr. Mathews's intelligent accompa-
nimonts.
The lighter side Of the entertainment
was contributed by the Miller Banjo Club,
who played two pretty selections.

Now They May Unite.

Another necessary step was taken yes
terdag in tine direction of consolidating
the three olectr.c-iIht companies and the
street-car properties into one great con-
cern.
1t was one that had been anticipated by
