1t has been adduced against us An
gelenos that We have no taste in music,
that We have no musical organization of
note among us; that we do not encourage
the formation of such organizations, and
that we show our Indifference to this ex-
ceedingly wrong state of things by hold
ing out no inducements to musical peo-
pie to take up their abode with us. AS
an example of our musical Indifference,
the lack of patronage bestowed upon
the Hnrichs Grand Opera company,
which is the strongest grand opera Or
ganization that has been heard here for
years, has been quoted against US. While
it is true that this excellent company
played to scant houses the first three
nights of it's engagement, the fact was
due not to the Indifferent taste In music
of the Los Angeles people, but rather to
their desire to protect themselves
against being taken in. "A burnt BARN
breads the fire." as the old Scotch prov
erb hath 1t, and the memory of the bril-
liant fictions so freely circulated by en-
terprising advance men in the advertise
ments of operate companies and the Of
ten sorry fulfillment of the promises
made, are fresh in the minds of Los An
geles people. and they are exceedingly
wary of bestowing their patronage upon
an operate organization until they are
quite sure they are acting wisely. When
once convinced that their suspicious ars
ungrounded. no people can be more gen.
erous with their patronage. AS a proof
OF this may be cited the increase in the
size OF the houses which greeted the
Hinrichs company during it's closing

Review Before. the Americans.

Copyrighted. 1896. by The Associated Press }
LONDON, July 9.-Tho reception ac-
corded to the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company OF Massachusetts, by
the officers OF the Royal Artillery at the
latter's mess, at Woolwich last evening,
was e.most enthusiastic it Is possible
to imagine. Colonel Lockhead OF the
Royal Artillery presided, supported by
the Earl OF Den bigb, General Morris and
Prince Christian Victor. The toasts OF
"The Queen" end "The President of the
United States' were drank standing in
silence. Lieutenant Savage OF the Bos-
tonians responded for the visiting Anci-
ents aud the Earl of.Denbigh replied for
the Royal Artillery Company.
The Ancients returned TO the Hotel
Cecil at O'Clock in the morning.
The scenes OF yesterday were repeated
In the court yard of the hotel this morn
ing. Large crowds assembled as early as
O'Clock, and there wGs much enthusi-
asm displayed. The visiting detachment
of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company marched to Waterloo railroad
station, in the same manner as yester-
day, headed by the bands OF the Honor
able Artillery Company and of the Salem
cadets. There was loud cheering for the
Americans all along the line OF route,
and the visitors left the station at about
o'clock for Aldershot TO witness q
review of the troops.
The American Artillerymen wero re-
ceived at the railroad station by Lord
Woisey, the commander-in-chief OF the
forces, Sir Evelyn Wood, the quartermas-
ter-general ofthe army,a and other officers
of high rank, in full Uniform. When
the train stopped at the depot the Duke
of Connaught said: "Where's the Amerl-
can am bassador2" MIR. Bayard was
pointed out to the Duke and the latter,
after welcoming him, escorted the Ame-
rican diplomat to carriage, which wss
Immediately driven to Laffans Plain.
Accompanying Mr.. Bayerd were Messrs.
Carter and Hoge, who were presented to
the Duke OF Connaught by the ambassa-
dor. No sreeches were made.
The Ancients were then drawn up on
the platform and the Duke of Connaught,
after welcoming Colonel Walker and the
officers OF the Honorable Artillery com
pany of Massachusetts, inspected the Wis.,
iting detachment. The Americans were
then conveyed 20 Laffans Plain In over
40 war department wagons.
-Nearly 20, 600 troops were raraded and
they presented brilliant spectacle, uni
forms trim, neat, and well-fitting accou-
trements polished to the utmost and
arms glisteDing, spotlessly clean.
The sham fight commenced soon after
the arrival of the Ancients. rhe troops
were under the command of Generals
Swaine and Bengough. After some well
executed manouvers had teen carried out
the whole force marched past the saluting
point where the Stars and Stripes tioated
short distance from the royal standard.
In ell there were 22 regiments OF infan-
trys cavalry and artillery on the field.

around the camp on the preceding day.
One OF the most pleasing things about
the camp from the standpoint OF medical
director Charles III. French OF Brigadicr
General Kendail's staff is the work OF the
ambulance corps. Yesterday afternoon a
detail of "a men under the direction OF
Major McKenna had very interesting
ana instructive drill. Two men were in
the drill supposed to be lady injured.
One on the head and the other in the
arm. The proper way to remove man
from the field, the way to lay him on a
stretcher and what was to be done In aid
ing the surgeon were all explained and
the men in the detail proved apt scholars.
Lieutenant Colonel Arthur V. Warfield
is of course one of the busiest men at the
camp and he is untiring in the perform
snce of his duties and the very ideal Of
courtesy. No small amount of the marked
evenness with which everything has been
done at camp the present year is due to
his intelligent foresight.
Brigadier General Kendall says that he
is more convinced than ever that the
state camp is in ihe'right place though
he is not vet reconcilled to the position
