TONIGHT THEY PLAY.
British Guards Band Will Arrive This
Evening.

Evening.
1.-THE Funston Quickstep." dedicated
to the famous Kansas fighter, will be
played at the Godfrey band concert to-
night for the first time in Topeka
It is a lively piece and the band
plays it in a stirring manner. Many
other stirring pieces will be played and
our own famous band leader, J. B.
Marshall, has promised that he will in
duce Lieut.. Godfrey to play AT
Georgia Campmeeting and several or
Sousa's popular marches
Dan Godfrey makes this tour of the
United States to renew the triumphS
gained early in his career at the nOta-
, BILE Boston Peace Jubilee, in 1872, when,
among the gathering OF the Leading
/ bands of European nations, Dan God
frey and his Grenadier Guards were the
lions of the hour.
Dan Godfrey comes to repeat the ova-
lions extended to him during his brief
stay in New York city on his way home
to England last summer, when he and
, his British guards band had completed
a most triumphant musical and mill
tary tour of Canada, undertaken in an
sWer to a monster petition signed by
tens of thousands Of her majesty's sub
! jects in Canada
On both these occasions the appear
ance of Dan Godfrey on the soil of the
United States was the signal for the
most marked manifestation of that
friendliness and good will now SO hap
:
peoples of the Anglo-S Saxon race
Dan Godfrey comes to America, and
again his coming will be the occasion of
a more general Outburst of that splen-
did international good feeling. now that
its sincerity has been tested and its
permanency proved.
To this alliance of two nations SYM
pathieS Lieut. Godfrey has contributed
in the most popular of channels and to
the utmost of his capacity. So enthus-
iastic was the ovation, so unbOunded
was the hospitality he received at the
Boston Peace Jubilee of 1872, that he
returned to England greatly impressed
with a belief in the ultimate alliance
and friendship of Great Britain and the
United States. He then made it a point
to include on all his state and official
programmes 1.-The Star SpangIed Ban
| ner." Thus. at all the most notable
public functions of England, at all her
national celebrations, the impressive
strains of Americas national anthem
have been heard for the last quarter
of a century through the agency of Dan
Godfrey and his band.
