sOUsA'S BAND.

The announcement that Sousa and his
band will be at the Opera House on next
Friday afternoon presages two hours and
ahalf Of enjoyment of melodies and har-
monies; n perfect concert at which the
works OF the great masters Of music will
be interspersed with the swinging strains
of Sousa's own marches or the music Of
the latest masters of dance strains. The
management of this organization make
the claim that 1t is the greatest military
concert band in the world. 1t is the band
of the people, because Sousa recognizes
the musical preferences OF his public and
gives his audience just what they want to
hear. 1t is this happy faculty Of gauging
the public taste that enables Sousa to pre-
sent such balanced programmes, for he
never offends with musical trash or bores
with an undue amount Of classics AT the
same time the highest forms of music and
tho light and dainty trifles are to be found
side by side at tho Sousn concerts.

Great progress has been made during
the year just ended In applying the hui
name principles OF our association, and
yet feel that we are just fairly upon tho
threshold of the good that may be done.
Business depression somewhat reduced
the income OF the society last year by re-
ducng the number Of contributing inem.
bers, and thus its usefulness was moro or
less hampered. We muy confidently ex.
pect better results during 1888
''Thls Is the twenty.tifth anniversary Of
the organization of the society, and It's age
and usefulness justly entitle 1t to the
most generous support. beg TO urge
upon each member the Importance Of So

our material and moral strength. In this
connection 1t gives me profound saisfac'
ton TO report that tho munificont bequest
OF Mary A. Boyd-the sum Of SIG, 0O0-has
been paid to us In full, and over one-half
OF it profitably invested. ! wish to repeat
my commentator of last year OF this
generous example. trust thaa tho day will
come when from these sources alone the
means Will be amply supplied to give the
broadcast extention to the humane purpose
of this society.
"A standing committee on public founda-
ton aud wal er.troughs should be created
and the society should take steps to CO.
operate with the Fountain Society Of this
city. Tho fountains already provided
should be Kept flowing more months in the
year than Is The prUctioe at present.
"The Committee on Publications and
New Enterprise should have their powers
enlarged SO that they might bring to tho

portance OF instr ucting tho children III
