Grand Concert and Ball-Hugh
Success.
The Opera House was filled to over
flowing on New Years Eve, in spite OF
the severe cold night, to listen to
the third annual concert of the
Second Regiment Band, S. ID. N. G..
The size and character of the audience
was in itself complement to the bows
and shows the high es seem in which
the individual members are held, as
we'll as the appreciation OF their efforts
toward Improvement.
At no time in the history OF the
band have they been so thoroughly or
gapized and equipped for good music
and the REGISTER is in hopes that the
present organization may be main
tanned even at some expense to our
citizens.
The concert program from the open
Ing "March" to the Comic Fantasia"
was received with enthusiasm, not
from sympathy but on account OF
real merit. There 10 probably no band

The grand FAINT asia "Le Reve D.
the Golden Robin Polka"
and the Hunting Scene" by full
band were among the finest numbers. |
The Hunting Scene" was most real. |

OF the chase until the final |
The ladies were some |
what startled at the report OF the
gun when the fox was KILLED but soon
recovered their equilibrium however
and assisted in the hearty encore
that was accorded.
The Duet by Messrs. Halstead and
Back was one OF the prettiest things
we have heard in many a day. The
twitter of the robin was plainly dis.
to the imagination by clos

Of execution seldom. if ever found ip

Mrs. West in her piano solo and
as accompanied only added to her
fine reputation. Shsreceived
3 hearty encore to which she respon
led gracefully.
Too much credit can not be given
5. w. Lockwood for his untiring
efforts as instructor of the Second
Regiment Band. To him is largely

Of the music and its perfect rendition
would do credit to more noted in
'tructors. Altogether it was q grand
success in every particular and our
citizens can take q just pride in such
IN organization and every effort
should be put forth to maintain it.
A grand ball followed the musical
program which was participated in by
everybody. The occasion was one
