GLEN ECHO.-The engagement OF
Haley's Inaugural Orchestra, which has
given such splendid music at Glen Echo,
closed last night, and it's place will be filled
this evening by the Royal Hungarian
Gypsy Orchestra of Buda Pest. 1t appears
that the new management into whose
hands Glen Echo has fallen wanted Mr..
Haley to split up his orchestra and take
nine players and make the music for the
vaudeville performers, and then take
twelve players and contribute music for the
edifcation and enjoyment of those who
were partaking of supper. Mr.. Haley con-
tended that he had brought his orchestra
to Glen Echo as an attraction. that it had
proved SO, and that It woulds injure its
standing and dignity to divide it as sug-
gested. Mr.. Sousa had the same difficulty
once in San Francisco and took the same
stand. The vaudeville features for the
week will be the same as those that ap-
peared Monday evening-Miss Louise West
ervelt soprano, and Nine. Coudray, con-
tralto.
