Kow a Connecticut BandmRster Hit
II on In n Grand Military
Review.

In the spring Of 1864, when Gen.
Banks was in command at New Orleans,
three brigades were encamped at Baton
Rouge, and the raw recruits were get
ting into trim for the following cam
paign, and incidentally becoming IA
miliar with army tactics. Finally
review was ordered, and Admiral Far
ragut was to be the guest OF the oc-
casion. With so distinguished a Wis
itor, the bandmaster of each regiment
strove to have better programme
than the other. Besides the regular
stock music, Star Spangled Banner"
"Red, White and Blue" Yankee Doodle"
and "Dixie," the band of the Twenty
fourth Connecticut had dozen of the
catchy airs of the day, and the leader
took pride in calling for anything he
wanted, without notice, and was sure
that it would be we'll played.
For the occasion Gen. Banks and his
staff were handsomely dressed and su-
perbly mounted. Gen. Grover and the
other general officers, each with his
staff, were also equipped in style. The
