SOuSa 8 BanQ COnCert.-Ihe Grand opera
House was filled with an enthusiastic audi
ence Of Sousa's admirers last night, an
audience which, from the time the march
king stepped on the stage to the rendition
of the last number on the program, seemed
anxious to pay tribute to him in the shape
Of rounds and rounds Of applause. OF

echo, and frequently the first Part of some
familiar one was drowned in the burst of
approval which followed the opening
strains.

overture, Festival. by Lassen, but it

Svendsen, followed, after which Wagner's
beautiful prelude from 'Parsifar' was rem
dered in a highly artistic manner. Here
again the audience demanded another en-
core, and Sousa, ever ready and willing to
crafty in this respect, responded with the
High School Cadets" and symphony for
reeds. The Partisan Carnival was per-
haps the best rendered number on the pro-
gram, displaying a great amount of care
and work In its production. John Porter
played Weber's Grand Concerto for piano
and orchestra in splendid style, his grace
at the PIANO and the clearless of his runs

enthusiastically encored. and received a
beautiful tribute of flowers.

manner which called forth the most en-

encore, after which humorous piece was
rendered. All the musicians left the stage
except an oboe player After a few min

'front.' and playing a familiar strain before
taking his seat When five different
instruments were in front at the same
time and all playing different tune the
burst of applause showed that the audi

composition. AS Miss Currie Duke was i'll

some of the mysteries attending his instru-
ment. His work was spirited and was re-
ceived In an enthusiastic manner. The
overture, THE Beautiful Galatea," closed
the program. Although only ten numbers
were on the program, fully double that
number were rendered, and Mr.. Sousa has
no reason to feel that his popularity has
diminished in the smallest degree.
