NOTE AND COMMENT.
A correspondent makes pertinent
suggestion oii1nt t tii0 music Tor me
exposition this year. He calls atteD-
ton to what is a well-known fact to
musical people, that Is not necessary
that bands from other cities should be
hired. The DAM military band or
orchestra is quite the equal of any OF
the musical organizations that have
been brought here from year TO year.
Let Prof. DAM have the same amount OF
money that has been given yearly to
these outside organizations, averaging
from Sl2.000 TO $1,000 and he can
furnish as fine band as can be Sc
cured, with the exception Of Gilmores,
which is the only band in the
country with permanent organization,
Prof. DAM is well known the country
over as one Of the very best OF leaders
and musicians. He is fully as capable
of hiring SoIOSts as Cappa, or lines, or
Reeves, provided the money is given
him as it has been to them. The argu-
ment of previous exposition manage
menus have been that some Or
ganiZatiOn OF reputation from abroad
has been needed which could be doomed
q u.
ent SAYS, the list of bands that enjoy
much more than a local reputation has
been exhausted, and it would seem far
better that decent recognition be
given deserving home organizations. 1t
is hardly necessary for the little city OF
Providence, X. l., to furnish Minneapolis
with music. Prof. DAM OH thirty days
notice can organize better band OF
fifty pieces than that which played at
the exposition last year, and in addi-
ton can present sOlOiSt Of national
reputation each week, instead of the
same cOrnet or trombone Sol0lSt each
season. The Marine band. although
supported by the government, does Ell
enjoy the reputation OF unusual excel
Ience. Gilmore cannot be secured, and
it is only fair that this year the eXpoSl-
ton management should recognize
home TALENT What the spOndent
says about dividing the music between
the orchestra and band is also worthy
of note. Some prefer orchestra music,
others band music, and the lovers of
either are entitled to have their wishes
consulted.
The Wilbur Opera company opens its
engagement of twelve weeks at the Ly-
ceum theatre Monday night, and the
large advance sale teStifies to the fact
that the event is an important one, eS-
pecially to the gilded youth and the
matinee girl. 1t is suggested that OW-
Ing to the popularity of the company
Its return be made the occasion of
public demonstration and that pro-
ceSsiOn of former admirers meet the
far warblers at the union depot and
act as an escort upon their arrival. The
following order of parade has also been
suggested:

Mayor Winston has telegraphed in
reply from Montreal to Acting Mayor
L0ye, that, if eX-Ald. Sterling has been
appointed dog catcher, he will take i'm
mediate steps to have his dog protected.
The report that Ingersoll has
"welched," and refuses TO meet Don
nelly at catch weights at Minneapolis
has provoked considerable comment in
literary circles. 1t is not known wheth-
er the back-0ut is because Donnelly
wants to wear plasters on his hands or
not.
The Evening Tribune states that
Needham thinks that either his ''blood
or bones are out of order" If Mr..
Needham has suffered from any anatom-
ical displacement, his is a serious COM
plant. 1t must be rather confusing
for his person to have his bones get
mixed up.

The report comes from Canada that
Mayor Winston is rapidly becoming an
orator of no small ability. Here's an
other surprise party for the people who
thought Z. B. Winston would be merely
a figure head.
EX-MayOr Ames declares that the last
report that he WAS .Sick again,, was in
