New York has decided to celebrate
Manhattan day at the fair Oct. 81.
This is right good news, for the
Gothamites are sure to make it a glor-
ious event. New York is resolved to
show what she can do in that line and
her pride is aroused. While it is i'm
possible that the whole population of
Gotham should come out to beat CHI
cago day, there will be New Workers
enough to do honor to the fame of the
first capital of the country and to
make all Americans proud of New
York. They propose to come in sew
eral large excursion parties and bring
several good brass bands.
1t would be difficult to imagine q
greater grander or more important
step in the civilization of the Ameri-
can Indian than was given Thursday
by the students of the Carlisle Indian
Industrial school band and choir in
festival hall. When the Indian maid
ems, sixty in number, dressed i'll neat
fitting blue cloth suits and wearing
the yellow satin badge of their school,
filed on the stage at O'Clock they
were received with rapturous applause
by an audience of not less than 500
christian people, In age they ranged
from II to % years, many of them
having undoubted pretensions TO
pretty and occasionally handsome
faces. Very touchingly the sweet
voices of the Indian maidcns rendered
the Lords Prayer" by Leslie. Then
followed, with but few moments
interim, "Gloria" from the Twelfth
mass, "The March of the Men of Har-
lech,' and "Joy, Joy, Freedom Today"
from "The Gypsy's Warning" Too
much praise cannot be given the ex-
cellence OF the drilling or the sweet,
plaintive, yet precise, vocalization of
these Indian girls. The young men,
too, are receiving many compliments
while in this city, and their band is
a very proficient musical organization.
