theater of the first order-a theater equipped
with the best stock company that Judgment
could organize and liberalty obtain and de-
Voled TO plays OF the best knd. From that pur-
pose, while judiciOusly coDsiderate OF the ca
prices OF popular taste, he has never swerved,
and as he gazes backward along the ever
lengthening track of his endeavor he cannot
fail to pereeiVe-and 10 rejoice in the per
crption-lhat while many fashions have
bloOmed and faded and many evanescent
favorites risen ana declined, the intellectual
principle of conduct has been victorious: and
that devotion 10 an ideal Of art and of public

Band Music at the State Fair.

A letter from an occasional correspondent OF
THE CALL at Sacramento mentions that the
State Fair had most successful opening, and
also that the band Of musicians from San Fran
cisco, under the direction OF Charles III. Cas-
assa. who attracted SO much attention as
leader at our late Mldwinter Fair had a reCep-
lion that might be called enthusiastic. Cas-
assa had TO respond 10 every programme num-
ber with two OF three eDcOres. The principal
selections were from the best masters, and tue
encOreS were the popular airs of the day. 1be
San Francisco musicians. therefore, with good
judgment gratted both the critical aud uncriti-
cal among their auditors. 1t Is needless TO say
that the accomplished leader, as we'll as those
under his balOn, are delighted with their recep-
ton and The appropriateness of the Sacra.

also an evidence of the dexterous way in which
the piece had been heralded. All that is
