FORT SAM HoUsToN, Tex, Jan. 90, '95.
To the Daily LIGHT:
Sir:-The LIGHT of the 21st inst. con-
tanned an article in the Army News" to
which beg space for short reply. The
writer of the article is evidently misin-
formed as to the reason the dancing club
procured an orchestra from town. 1t was
not on account OF any misunderstanding
betwe en- the members OF the club and the
members Of the band, nor was it done to
get ever " as the article states, and
neither has the club ever asked the Fifth
cavalry orchestra to play for serenades
without compensation. The real reason
is, that the orchestra fails to give salts
faction when employed for public enter
tainments. In no instance has the club
referred to asked the Fifth cavalry or
chestra to play for them without pay. AS
our dancing club is composed of soldiers,
it is but natural the military orchestra
should have the preference, if they gave
satisfaction. They have good orches-
ira. but something is radically wrong
with it, and, until it is able to satisfy
those who hire it, music will be obtained
