Band Concert Last Night.-If the size and
enthusiasm of an audience can be regarded
as important factors the Washington New
Military Band, which gave its second con-
cert last evening in Aliens Grand Opera
House, is a complete success. The attend
ance was what is described as full house,
and the program presented to entertain the
gathering was artistic, popular and pleas
ing. When the curtain was raised the band
was seen standing, each member attired in
the handsome new uniform of the organi-
cation. A moment later Director VIII A.
Haley entered, raised his baton and the
tuneful strains of "Gilmore's Triumphal
March rang out, and at its conclusion the
band was seated and caps removed. Per-
haps as extensive a compliment as can be
paid the band and its concert is that they
both recalled Sousa. This was in large
part due, undoubtedly, to the fact that
Director Haley and nearly half of his mu-
sicians were for years in the Marine Band
under Sousa. Then, again, the spirit of
Sonsa was presented last night in the en-
cores, king Cotton" Manhattan Beach
and other familiar marches evoking con-
tinued applause. All the instrumental
numbers on the program were well receiv-
ed, as were the other encores, including
Arthur Pryor's "a Kansas Two-Step." The
principal feature of the evening, however
was the rendition Of the new National
Rifles March," by Haley, which met with
tne nearly approval OF the large NUMBER OF
Rifles present, as well as the entire audi
,ence. A portion of the Mystic Shrine
March," also by Haley, was given as an
encore. Solo numbers by Mrs. Clara ".
Flint, Mr.. J. J. Fisher and Mrs. Nellie Dob
bins Exnicious were all creditably given, as
was a euphonium solo by Mr.. Muhlausen.
