MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
Preparations for the Big Double Con-
cert Next Month.
Sacramento VIII Extend the Hand of
Hospitality-The Artillery Band
Heartily Welcomed.

An immense throng gathered at the
Plaza last evening to welcome back the
Artillery Band. The sojourn with the
"sojers" at Santa Cruz evidently did not
have a harmful effect on the musicians,
for they never played better than they
did last night.
The concert was brilliant one. Each
succeeding selection seemed to be better
than its predecessor, and the audience
was wrought up to quite an enthusiastic
pitch. Leader Neale was as happy as a
schoolboy, and he gracefully acilnowl-
edged the plaudits of the people by doff-
ing his cap.
G. B. Eilerman rendered Missud's sere-
made, Magnolia" on the cornet with
grand effect, and received genuine ova-
ton.
During the concert tho band rendered
the overture "Poet and Peasant and
MARY and john by request. Both Sc
lections were delightful.
The Artillery Band will be heard again
Sunday evening in all its glory. a fine
programme is being prepared by Leader
Neale.
THE BIG DOUBLE CONCERT.
a grand musical treat may be looked
for on Wednesday evening, Scptem Der
ID, when the big double c0ncert viii bo
given. Both the Hussar and Artillery
Bands are making elaborate preparations
for the event, and are rehearsing dill
gently.
At viii be the finest affair OF the kind
tha, Sacr&mento has been treated to III
many 4 year." SAID General j. GI. Mar
tine, Chairman OF the Dpan-air Concert
Committee, to q reporter list evening.
The leaders OF both bands have hat a
consultation, and have agreed 10 arrange
! q programme that viii bo simply Illag-
niiicent-and they are just the ones h Il
can DO ii, too. OIner cities may be ahead
! OF Sacramento with then fine buildings
and streets, but when il come down to Il
/ comparison of bands we don't take oil
our hats to any OF them. We have two OF
the finest bands in the Stato-thcre's no
! question about that
WE ARE NOT SELFISH.
! Continuing, Generai MARITIME said that
! the Concert Ionunittc was thinking seli-
Cusly OF arranging 10 have special trains
run in from Woodland, DavisvilIc,
Dixon and other nearby places, so that
the people Of those towns may also enjoy
the musical treat.
In addition to the band pieces. there
| will be several instrumental solos OF a
! high order, and also some vocal selcc-
! tions by male quartet. The latter will
| probably be composed of Messrs. Cohn.
kinroSS, Millillen and Crocker. General
| MARITIME says he expects TO see at least
| $4,000 people at the Plaza on that occa-
sion, and the General is not a poor
guesser, either.

IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE.
Superintendent Flint's Recommends
tions Adopted by the Department.

Superintendent Fiints Recommends
tions Adopted by the Department.
The mail service between this city
and San Francisco has been increased
in efficiency by the appointment of
three additional clerks to the route
known as the San Francisco and Los An
geles railway postofice. Heretofore but
one clerk has performed service for the
entire distance, bringing what is known
as "heiper" as lar as Sumner.
The great increase of population and,
in consequence, of mail in Southern
California, has made the work too much
for one clerk, and by urgent appeals of
Superintendent. Samuel Flint on behalf
of the people of this section, as we'll as
those in the San Joaquin valley, his
views were given consideration. The
mail officials at Washington, Captain
White, general superintendent and
William 7. Campbell, assistant general
uperintendent, visited this coast some
months ago, and while here Mr.. Flint
pointed out the necessity, and as re-
suit full railway postoflice has been
established between San Francisco and
Los Angeles, and railway mail service
established between Fresno and Porters-
Vile.
1t is to be hoped in time that the
department. will order service on the
Tracy and Newman railroad, which
comprises over one hundred miles of
service; the postoffices located on the
above line now receive mail in closed
pouches from the Sacramento and San
Francisco railway from Tracy The men
employed on the routes named consist
OF efficient clerks, who are acquainted
with the entire territory they traverse,
making this end of the mail service the
most complete in the country.
