Innes's Famous Band.
1t was great shame that the Sheridan
Rifles should not have received more
substantial recognition than they did
yesterday They brought to Portland one
of the finest military bands in the coun.
try, o band that mum bered among Its
musicians many of the best in the old
Gilmore organization. soprano singer
of national repute, and lady violinist,
whose home is in Portland, and whose
abilities are recognized wherever she
appears. 1t was a com bination that
ought to have crowded City hall at both
performances, and the attendance was
beggardly.
The band did splendid work, however.
Its music is given with body of depth
and richness of tone that is not often
heard in bands no matter how good they
may be. Their several numbers were
given with great finish and most artistic
shading. Their marches aroused great
ent husiasm. Mr.. Innes's trombone solos
and Miss Webb played beautifully and
received a superb basket of roses. Let
us hope the band will be heard here
again when the patronage will be more
what 1T deserves. This was the evening

Garry Owen"
Tony Farrelps romantic Irish play of
Garry Owen" was presented at Port.
land theatre last evening. "Garry
Owen' il in four acts and is founded on
events of recent date in both high and
low life in Ireland. Its plot Is strong,
it possesses the merit of probability, the
situations are thrilling, and there is a
most exciting scene when Mickey, the
police spy, stabs Rev. Robert Ludsley,
Protestant clergyman. There are also
many good comedy scenes scattered
throughout the piece in which Irish wit
makes itself apparent.
Mr.. Tony Farrell takes the part OF
"Garry Owen" warm hearted, lmpul-
sivs Irish lad, admirably. He is also
good singer and dancer. The part of
Ely was we'll taken by Miss Jane Ls-
land, and the scene before the priest by
Garry and Ely was much enjoyed by
the audience. Frank Kilday as Stephen
Purcell, Willard Laws as Gerald, W. b.
Cahill as Hickey, the police spy were
satisfactory. and Miss Emmett as Kate
Purcell sang several songs with muah
TASTE "Garry Owen" will be repeated
