the building yesterday was the Music

all day, and the band furnished unusual
~ good music Miss Alice Raymond the
world-renowned coTnetist. did not fail
10 secure liberal and frequent applause

ing the day. and at every performance
she had very large audience. Her num-
bers on the Cornet were WEI selected and
executed in splendid style She plays with
a rich expression, evidently approaching
the melody 10 be brought out upon the
instrument. Her execution, as intmatei
above, Is far above the average cornet
soloist She handles the instrument as
one thoroughly familiar with its posi-
bnities. Miss Raymond made a large
number OF admirers yesterday. She vii.

during her stay here.
