The last three days at the fair have been
devoid of music, unless a combination
made up of piano recitals by Prof. Meyers

gallery may be called music. but Cassassa's
Midwinter band arrived today Prof
Meyers is graduate of Leipsic and
pupil of Rubinstein. When the band
struck the fair management secured Prof.
Meyers 10 give series of recitals, pending
the arrival OF Cassassa's band from San
Francisco. At the same time some one
suggested needed improvements in the
above named gallery. Why the two ends
of the building should be worked at
once for all the noise there is in
a concert grand piano in the hands
Of an artist. and the aforesaid
dozen hammers in the hands OF sturdy
builders, the music lovers would like TO
know. Many people took seats at the
beginning of the recital on Thursday TO
enjoy themselves. Several numbers In
particular were looked forward TO with
eagerness. such as LISTS second rhapy
sodie, which was utterly routed by the
din occasioned by the construction going
on. In other words, If music like that
furnished by Prof. Meyers is worth paying
for. and music was demanded for the oc-
casiop. why may not the people who go to
the trouble and expense Of getting there 90
hear it be allowed TO do sog The music
lovers viii have their own way hereafter;
otherwise they will get into Mr.. Bucey's
and Mr.. Germans wool.

provide for the entertainment OF
all present. The Tacoma Whist
Club offers fine trophy repre-
senting the championship. to be held
