ADJUSTMENTS.

Two concerts were given in the tab
ernacle yesterday by the British Guards
band The one in the afternoon drew a
very light audience, but the programme
was given with the same excellence as
in the evening. The chorus for this
occasion was composed of about 200
children, who sang patriotic and other
choruSes in a creditable manner. A
beautiful flute solo. entitled lie Trem-
olo," was played by Mr.. Redfern, and
"a cornet solo, Killarney, was well
| rendered by Mr.. Kettlewell. The band
numbers included. notably, Merry
Wives of Windsor "reminiscences of
Mozart - "Funstons Quickstep' Ga new
march,, and THE Mable Waltzes."
The audience was thoroughly apprecia-
tive, although small. An interesting in
cident of the afternoon was the pre-
sentation of flowers TO Lieutenant God
frey and one of the soloists by lit
tie girl, a member of the chorus, who
carried a large British flag.
In the evening a large number of
people were present, and all were again
most enthusiastic in their demonStra-
tions of approval. The Tampa" over
| ture opened the programme. An excel
lent number, beautifully rendered, was
/ the "reminiscences of Virdi.' arranged
cellent soloist, Mr.. Redfern, played an
Air Varie," responding to an enthu-
| siastic encore with Home. Sweet
Home" The chorus, under the direc-
/ ton of MIR. Stephens, rendered the Pill
grim's Chorus" by special request. in
! place of the Haydn number on the
programme, and then gave the Halle
| lujah Chorus" as an encore. The Pill
grim's Chorus" went much better last
night than it did the night before with
the enlarged chorus. The choir also
gave Lift Up Your Heads from the
Messiah. Professor Daynes was back
in his old place at the organ. 1t is
plain that much better results are OBJ
tanned from the regular membership
of the choir, than when an attempt is
made at a mammoth display of choral
singers.
In place of ''The Gondoliers," by Sui
Ivan, Lieutenant Godfrey announced
that the Scotch melodies would be re-
peated, by request.
These won so much favor that the
Georgia Camp Meeting was played
as an encore, and that served to call
out THE Stars and Stripes" A fav-
orite number of the evening was the
cornet solo, Queen of My Heart" by
Pinsuti. A bassoon solo by Mr.. Camp-
bell also won much applause. On ac-
count of the many encores it became
necessary to omit one or two numbers
of the regular programme. The even
ing's entertainment closed with the
England and America descriptive
piece amid the greatest enthusiasm. Tt

The visit of the British Guards band
has given rise to many opinions and
comparisons with Sousa's organization.
1t has been said many times that COM
parison is no criticism, neither does it
serve any purpose, and both the Eng
Slish and the American organizations
are able to stand on their own merits
If Sousa has more enthusiasm, more
fire and dash than Godfrey, it may be
attributed to the difference in the ma.
tional characteristics The very atti.
tudes and poses of the two men show
this to begin with. The visit of the
British band has been pleasant event
of our musical season. 1t will play at
Saltair Saturday and Sunday
