GILMoRE's Rand.

GILMORE'S BAND.
Glimore's Band gave two concerts at City
Hall yesterday, one in the matinee course in
the afternoon, the other in the Popular
course in the evening. The evening concert
drew such an audience as only Gilmore can.
All the side doors leading into the vestibule
were opened, and settees were placed so that
considerable additional flooring was Sc
cured. Even the bands withdrawing room
was invaded and settees placed there. The
hall proper was sea of heads. The matt
nee was well attended, but the audience was
not an extraordinary one.
Everyone knows how magnifcently this
band of selected musicians play. They have
been associated together so many years that
they form parts of one perfect machine. The
soloists are the best, and great feature of
the concerts is the solo playing. The charm
of the organization, however, lies in its
band numbers. Yesterday afternoon, the
overture to "Semiramide" and the grande
scenG from "The Huguenots" were alone
worth the trouble of a ffty-mile jaunt to
hear them, and, in the evening, the overture
to "Robespierre." Besides these numbers,
the "Charge of the Light Brigade" "Carni-
val of Venice" and "Trip to Manhattan
Beach," all descriptive and popular, espe-
cially delighted the majority of the audience
The vocalists with the band, Miss Klein
Messrs. Koeke and O'Mahoney. are all good
singers, and they were all encored, respond
Ing generously with different selection each
