ana tnolr performance is deserving or
the welcome it received. II. B. Church
is undoubtedly the favorite with the
audience, his cornet solos always being
He performed concert polka
with splendid execution. "The
Mill in the Forest" a descriptive
piece was splendid piece of concert
work. The duet of comets, performed
by MeSsrs. Church and Fish, was
worthy of special mention. and the two
trombones, given by Messrs. Smith and
McCullen, drew forth well-deserved
encore. "Larboard Watch" double
duet, was a favOrlte, more especially as
1T is favorite air that all seem familiar
with. Mr.. Reeves is right in giving
plenty of these well known airs be-
tween each one OF the classical num-
bers.
Who has not heard of that grand
piece of musical composition, that grand
crash of sound through which runs
thread of mystic music that almost
seems to recall half-forgotten dream
Taunhauser? Many have heard it
played, at least the overture, in varie-
ties OF forms and styles by performers
more or less adept upon the piano, but
what is that to the same piece when
played by musical organization capa-
bic of coping at least with
Its difficulties. Reeves band
gave itself a severe test when
it essayed to render the overture yes
worthy of all the good things that have
been said of 1t. The piece was hot in
tended for military band, but never
theless the arrangement played last
evening was one of the grandest per-
formanceS the popular leader has given
the Minneapolis public. The highest
compliments were heard OF every side,
and 1T is the desire of many that the
number be repeated at an early date on
some OF the future programmes.
The chorus of schoolgirls. under the
leadership of Prof. Raymond, again re-
ceived hearty reception. The tier
and forms clad in white looked as fresh
a sight as a spring morning. and the
singing was well done. 1t was perhaps
mistake to have them sing 1.-The Red.
White and Blue" for that is not essen
TALLY an American air, and was only
made SO by the waving of the STARS and
stripes. The anvil chorus was their
best number, and the display of flash
lighting in unison on the Edison tower
was picture that called for hearty APP
plause. The tower is lighted for
longer space of time than formerly, and
meets with no end of praise.
The patronage at the pony track has
become so great that it was found nee
essary to increase the stable, and five
more shetlands arrived yesterday,
which will give the little beauties a
much-needed rest. The chariot which
was in use in Chicago at the production
of the Crystal Slipper has arrived in
the city and will be exhibited to-day
near the entrance. Other announce
ments of special interest will be made
tomorrow.
The Fall of Pompeii" will be given a
production this evening that will rival,
in display of pyrotechnics, anything
that has been given heretofore. The
chemists were busy all day yesterday in
manufacturing special pieces with I'M
usually brilliant coloring, and no pains
will be spared to make the hour allotted
to the performance an unceaSiDg flash
of brilliant lights and darting fires.
Set pieces and novelty pieces, never be-
fore seen in the West, will be produced,
and those who attend the brilliant spec
tacle this evening will see sight never
to be forgotten. The band programme
for to-day is as follows:

Overture-'William Tell. ........ :. Rossini
William Tell is unquestionably the most pop
uar overture ever written. Its first per-
torrance took place at the Acadamic
Royale, Paris, Aug. 8, 1929 since which
date, 1t is safe to say, it has been per
formed by bands and orchestras ten times
to one of any other overture ever COM
posed; With the great majority il is
still the favorite, and is always a welcome
and attractive feature on the programme of
popular concert
