musician, composer and director, John
Philip Souss, and his famous band,
assisted by the charming and delightful
soprano, IniH Mecusker, may be heard
at Hazards pavilion in what will un-
dou btedly be one of the gFandest con-
certs of its kind ever given in Los Ange-
les. The following is taken from the
Denver Times Of March l4th:
1.-The performance of The Lost Chord
was so true to the organ-like treatment
the composition calls for, and 80 rich in
those peculiarly glorious hsrmcnies to
be found in the nobler religious music,
as TO fortify more strongly than ever the
position the writer has maintRined-in
the Times and elsew lere-that Sousa's
band is peculiarly adapted to the per-
formance OF the highest grades of sacred
music.
"The Lohengrin music WAS given with
prestissimo grand in arrangement and
an harmonious expression that was fit
close 10 the success Of the two fine con-
certs. 1t WAS by far the best exposition
of Wagner ever given in this city. The
descriptive music, including Sheridan q
Ride, the Clock Store, and the March
Through Georgia, were given with q
happy variety of effects and originality
Of treatment, and the marches of the
distinguished conductor showed admir-
ably the snap, vim and catchy melodies
for which they are famous"
The following is the programme for
the evening:

In Clock Store, Rolling.
This composition ingeniously tells tht
story of an hour in clock store. The
apprentice winds up clocks. The differ
ent clocks begin to tick and the piecC
gradually developea into q musical illus
tration of a clock store. Several clocks
strike the hour, the boy whistles a tune
the clock which contains the chimes
gradually runs slower aud stops. Tht
apprentice winds the clock up again anC
the chimes of miniature Scotch cathe
dral are heard. The cuckoo, the alarm
and the other clocks strike the hour, the
whole being a faithful representation o
the operations ef the different clocks.
