STATE BAND PLAYS AT COMO
PERFORMANCE HIGHLY ATTRAC-
TIVE, AND gRENDERED WITH
CARE AND PRECISION
PrOf. Selling and His Musicians Are
Pleas1ng More Than Ever, ard
Last Night His Selections Were
Literally EncOred.

Last evening at Como the usual pop
uIar concert was given by the Minnesota
state band. The programme was a high
~ attractive one and was rendered
throughout with all the care and pre-
clslon which has come to be looked upon
as characteristic of any programme
given under Mr.. Settings direction.
rms conductor is so thorough in his
work, so conscientious in his attention
to detail, and withal so thoughtful of the
taste of the public that he has already
gained the respect and admiration not
onfy OF the musically uneducated public,
but of the best musicians as well. This
Keeling on the part of the audiences pres
ent last evening was warmly attested
by the frequent and spontaneous ap-
plause.
The size of the audiences both last
evening and Sunday night would appear
to indicate that this is one of the great
Como weeks. Notwithstanding its size
last evening the crowd was a 1iscriminat-
ing one, and the fact that some of the
best numbers received the greatest
amount of applause showed that 1t was
unsteady intelligent crowd. Cannes
march, Lorraine, introduced the pro-
gramme. This was followed by a Verdi
composition and a piece by Eilenberg,
The Gorden Blonde" The spirited reII-
dition of THE Jolly Musketeer' made
real hit, and following it the audience
demanded an encore, which was gra-
clously accorded them. lively coon
song, with bright and catchy orchestra
ton, followed by a second vociferously
demanded encore, in which a tone pic
ture of barnyard episode was set forth,
closed the first part of the programme.
The second part was even more enjoy
able, with its patriotic number, True
to the Flag" it's we'll rendered baritone
solo by Mr.. John Hansen; the inspiring
'BIack Hussar, and an Oriental charAc-
ter composition, Arabian Nights by
Sachs Besides the crowds which filed
the seats on the bank, boatloads of young
people drifted about the lake, listening
to the players, now near now away
across the water, where still penetrated
the clear high tones of the flutes, the
heavier voices of the clarionets, and the
other wood wind instruments supported
by the trombones and bass horns.
The slightly cool evening brought out,
too, last evening a greater number than
usual of handsome equippages, in which
not the least appreciatiVe of the listeners
sat.

the selections of last evening were hber-
