CALIFORNIA BAND CONCERT.
Musicians of the First Volunteer
Regiment Play for the Red
Cross Benefit

The band of the First California Volun-
teers inaugurated q week of concerts and
receptions at <he Alhambra Theater last
nEhta The boys did not receive the re-
ception that their playing and the enter
tainment they offered deserved. This is
explained in a measure from the fact that
Mrs. Townsend had purchased all the un-
sold seats in the house and sent them 10
the Montana and Kansas regiments,
neither Of which could attend.
There was much that was cOmmendable
in the playing 81 the band Few musical
organizations that have appeared in pub
lie in the city surpass it. Every num-
Der of well arranged programme was re-
ceiVed with unstinted applause and unani-
nous approval While the band was the
star attraction there was just enough of
variety to prevent mOnOtOny. Mrs. Eva
Tenney, the COntraltO sOlOiSt. contributed
several very charming numbers Her
rendition Of Beside the Pasig River" ."
the words Of which are by Sol y. Sheri-
dan and the music by a. Nelson Adams.
leader Of the band, was especially fine and
called for prolonged applause.
One Of the features OF the programme
was the exhibition Of views taken by the
United States Volunteer Signal Corps. 1t
is the most complete set of Philippine
pictures yet shown here and gives a vivid
idea Of the terrOrS OF war.
The concerts are to be repeated every
night this week and there will be a
matinee Saturday. The proceeds are to
be given TO the Red Cross Society

The above resolutions were passed
unanimously at meeting of the eXecu-
tive. committee of the California Cycling
Association held last evening in it's head
quarters IN the Parrot building. Secre-
tary Scovern was directed to forward
them to the Park Commissioners and to
also enter them on the minutes of the Or
ganiZation.
The meeting was called by the chair
man of the committee for the purpose of
discussing the advisability of turning over
the control of the track racing in this
State to the National Cycling Association.
At the end of a lively discussion it was
agreed to recommend that course to the
association at its next meeting, the first
Saturday in November. This has long
been contemplated, as it will relieve the
local association from the trouble of is
suing sanctions for track racing and
ganization, which has members and rep
resentatiVes in all but the Southern
States. 1t is more than probable that the
recommendation of the executive commit
tee will De followed by the association.
The 10-mile annual road race, which
was postponed last Sunday on account of
stress of weather. will be run off on Oc-
tober 29 and not this Sunday, as has been
generally understood. The entries have
reopened and will remain so until a lew
days before the race. All riders desiring
to compete should notify Billy Loos
at once so that the names may be pub
lished in The official programme.
