opera house this evening. Every mu-
sicisn ia an artist in his own right,
their time, soul and life having been
devoted to their profession from earliest
youth. Their leader, Captain Payen,
has them ell under the most perfect
control, and no ship sailing upon q
placid sea answers more faithfully to
the pressure OF her helm than does this
wonderful aggregation to the gentle and
persuasive motions of their leader.
Captain Payen's method of conducting
ia unique. He does not beat time like
Liberati or even Thomas, Sousa or
Gilmore. He marks time. and without
the slightest theatrical display. and at
the end of each number shows in the
expression OF his beaming face the high
value he places upon the appreciation
of his audience.

follows:
Paso Doble, a tn Regreso, Camarena.
