Special correspondence Of THE REPUBLICAN.
 TUCsoN, Ariz., Nov. 29.-Reid's opera house was filled to it's utmost capacity last night by the wealth and beauty of this ever gay city to participate in the grand promenade concert and hop given by the First Infantry band, N. G.
 A. The large auditorium was magnlh- gently and tastefully decorated with the national and regimental colors. Palm
 leaves vied with the red, white and
 blue for supremacy from an artistic
 standpoint, while cross swords on the
 walls lent an additional interest to the
 beautiful. Stacked arms on the stage
 with wild forest scene in the back
 ground denoted the taste of pro-
 fessional. Altogether, the decorations
 were a marvel of skill and ingenuity,
 and too much credit cannot be given
 the committee having the matter in
 hand.
 At 8 o'clock the house was comfort
 ably filled and the band, under the d.
 rection of Serg. Maj. J. D. Balderas,
 rendered the following we'll selected
 program to the most appreciatlve audi ence ever collected in Tucson:
 Overture, Mosaic" c"....................Ro Robinson
 Mazurka, "Gracia" ...... .Codina vase. "A La Fiesta" a"..............M Menzanares
 serenade, Dream On". .Rathburn
 Medley, 'Concert" .........-..........-..Be Beyel
 Serenade, .'Schubert Vaughn
 March, 'Zacatecas'' '........-..-.. ...... .Cad1ns Every selection was greeted with con- , tinued applause that denoted the es teem in which the boys are held by the l people. Major Balderas was highly
 complimented on the efficiency of the l band, due to hls knowledge and perse
 verance.
 s After the applause immediately fol t lowing the last mum Der on the concert Q program had suhsided, the floor wal f cleared for dancing and before long tn a new West Point canvas, stretched 10 t that purpose, was as slippery as Swift # zerland glacier. Over 100 couples en
 ioyed the mystic mazes of the walt = until the wee small hours. Enthusiasm :, never Jagged, for the reception an d floor committees were everywhere. Tn e beautiful ladies, their magniticen ,f toilettes and the dazzling splendor C s the many officers were enough to upse d the equilibrium of the average head 1T Not fairy scene, but real life! Tn k costumes were too complicated and nr st merous to describe, so the names ( n those present at this most delightf, d affair will have to be satisfactory. n is needless to say that the concert an .e hop were as great success financial
 as they were socially.
