who did not share it, at least enough to

the overwhelming jam that usually sig
nalizes Sousa night, but there was
enough people there to satisfy the band
master.
The event of the evening was unquestlon-
ably the courtesy of Mr.. Sousa toward
his friend and fellow bandmaster, Mr..
VIII Haley. He placed Mr.. Haley's new
composition, The American Beauty on
the program in a very nplimentary posi-
tion, wei down the program, between
Meyerbeer and himself, Sousa. AS if
this were not enough, Mr.. Sousa sent for
Mr.. Haley just before his number, and to
the Washnetonian' great surprise, led him
to the leaders desk, introduced him to the
audience, and placed the baton in his
hand. Mr.. Haley led with grace and com
maud and the vigorous encore was led by
Sousa himself, who came out upon the
stage, applauding, and would not permit
Mr. Haley to evade a repetition of the piece.
There were four soloists on the program
and again Mr.. Pryor and his marvellous
trombone was the pet of the crowd, though
Miss Johnstone displayed tact in the Sc
lection as well as skill in the performance
of charming Hungarian Idyl
The other numbers were: Overture,

Scherzo by Fumi; an euphonium solo per-

The aspirant returned home with small
balloon, which he stored in an outhouse.
The boys filched this and also large
supply OF rope and tackle and secretly built
a light wooden airship. Next they
followed out two pumpkins in the old
fashioned style of demon face, and
these they suspended from the end of
the shin. The time was set for the
launching. They met in an unfrequented
field over a trench filled with kerosene
soaked kindling they tied down the balloon
and started the fire. They did not under
stand the force of the gas, and suddenly
the thing broke from its moorings and
bounded up.

watching the earth sink away beneath

balloon TO lift it about 100 feet, but il
