Cox's Union band, OF Union. of 10 pieces
conducted by William Z. Cox.
The WellSviIle boys were the first called
and they played the overture Snap SnoI
by LOsey. About half of the members be-
came stage frightened before Sle first
note WIGS bowed into the air, and cOnSid-
ering their condrton, they got through
fairly well. but it was JUS about t1e
longest piece they ever undertook 10 play
IL least It seemed so TO them The
judges awarded them third place in the
contest.
-.Bezun in Joy and Sorrow" by Con-
nadi, was the overture SO nicely rendered
by the Independent, from PARK Cry. 1le
miners undertook quite a cassie piece,
and they seemed 10 handle it with perfect
ease. The band is made no OF nccs
looking lot of men and tfney seemed to
and had there not been a trifie CT discord
towards the last, il is likely the judges
would have awarded them the first prize.
But the second prize of 500 was given
TO them.
George Woodhouse can do splendid work
with his musicians down in Beaver, but
of course when ne comes in contact with
some of the bands ne met last night. ne
is at a disadvantage The RIVAL an
overture by PeEtee was not exactly the
proper thing for his band to undertake.
Tom Carl won the first prize of $500 with
his Park City band in the rendition of me
overture Macbeth one of Verdi's COM
positions. There wasn't a hitch anywhere
and every note fell into the ears of the
critics SO soochingly that i was almost
impossible 10 defect the slightest error.
The Provo Military band undertook to
play the Cadets of Bagdad," an overture
by Squire. The piece was horribly twist
ed up and lacked volume and force TO
make the notes clear and distinct The
piece was most TOO difficult for the men
10 play with success.
The band from Parowan gave a short
selection, but before they We're called out

well as they could.
BIZ Cox has some good musicians
among his sixteen, and considering the
disadvantages they are subjected TO, they
