OPENING OF WHEELING PARK.

The famous Chicago Marine band,
which is the attraction at the Wheel
ing Park Casino next Sunday and
Monday. is claimed to be the equal of
any band in existence, musically and
technically, composed of the same
high-priced musicians as those of the
great Gilmore band of ten years ago,
and in some instances their superiors.
MI. Brooke is considered the best gen
eral band master in America, and his
fame is fast spreading in all direc-
tons. Mr.. P. S. Gilmore pointed out
Mr. Brooke years ago as most prom
sing leader in the line Of popular sue
cesses, and played his compositions
numerously, as may be remembered
from his Manhattan Beach pro-
grammes. Brooke has been enthusi-
astically endorsed by the great critics
Of the eastern cities, a recognition of
his genius which would not be given
unless it existed in the very highest
degree. He spent twenty weeks in
the east during the spring and fall
Of 81, and woke the people every
where with such lively music that they
were free to confess they had never
heard before.
A special motor on the Elm Grove
railroad will leave the city every eve
ming at 7:30, direct to the Casino. The
two o'clock motor will also run to the
Casino Sunday and Monday afternoon
