Music at the Exposition.
lines favorite New York City con-
cert band has been engaged to play at
the ns-Mississippi Exposition daily
from September 25 to October 81. This
| band is one of the most successful
music organizations in the country to-

of trombone music, the originator of
the triple B fiat tuba which he uses.

up trombone playing, and now he per-
sistently refuses to play except an oc-
casional number at one of his own
band concerts or in compliment to
some distinguished gathering of
friends. He has just planted his flag
on the mountain, like Excelsior, and

frame, a rich red face and fashionable
clothes are not commonly supposed to
be the concomitants OF genius, and his
glad hand, broad guaged smile and
roaring laugh Danish suggestion that
he could be ought but a drummer Get

will feel certain that you have made
