All the good things that have been
said OF the Conterno Famous Band,
which opened a two days engagement
at Mozart park yesterday afternoon,
have been justified by the two concerts
given Sunday, AS one gentleman. who

Pat Gilmore used TO swing the baton"
That is high raise. of course, but the
good work of the Centerno concert or
ganization deserves high commenda-
lion.

noon concert, and in the evening an
even larger audience was present, The
enthusiasm at both was feature, and
spurred the artists to their best en-
deavors The afternoon programme
was made up OF twelve numbers, of
which four We're vocal solos, Those of
Miss May Gilmore, contralto; Mr., Frank
Magnus, tenor, and MIR, James A. Nc

composers, including Auber, Michaellc,
Gounod, Rossini Rossi, Wagner and G.
