New Windsor Items.

For the past fifty years this place has been
noted for its good music; many distinguished
musicians have at different times assembled
here in the large parlor at the hotel and dis
coursed classical as well as modern music to
the delight of guests and friends and other
sojourners in the summer season, and when
especial events happen in the community
another style of music to suit the occasion is
adopted land it was clearly in evidence on last
Tuesday night, when welcoming serenade was
given in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. George l..
Stocksdale. The variety of instruments is
hard TO describe, for besides the original
horsefdde which did most excellent duty,
there arrived on the scene magnificent in
strument in the shape of a caliope on a small
scale, being the traction engine of Mr.. Samuel
Otto which opened its sonorous throat and
electrified the crowd. There were also all
varieties of horns, household fixtures, farming
implements, large road wagons, road machines
and all articles beyond description. An in
teresting spectator of the whole was fenced in
by lot of wagons, and this was living
representative of the God Taurus, who sur
veyed the scene with calm dignity, and joining
in occasionally giving his approval by low
bass note. The exercises were kept up to
late hour and when the participants left there
remained in the streets such a noted collec-

the other appointments would be made at the

who have been on the anxious-seat for several
months, are in hopes that they will today be
relieved of their suspense. There are in all
IA subordinate positions to be filed, and the
pressure on the Republican leaders for their
support has been something unparalleled in
the politics of the State. For the IA positions
there are on file 45s applications, or s2 81
