ENJOYABLE Church Retention.

The reception to the congregation OF the
lexington Presbyterian Church, given by
it's officers and aid society on Wednesday
evening, was well attended, and the au-
dence appeared to thoroughly enjoy the
musical program, which was rendered by
Profs. E. Roth and Raphael Rooster.
After the opening selection on the organ
by Prof. Roth and prayer by Rev. w. ii
Stone, Ph.D., Prof. Rooster sang, in a rich
barytone voice, THE King of Love. My
Shepherd is.'' by Gounod; also The Ban
doero," by Stuart, and Not Mine Be Mon
arch's Throne" by Grard Lane. He also
rendered, in finished style, on the violin a
"Cavatina,'' by Raft; "Ballade ct Polo
naise, by Vieuxtemps, and Cradle Song, -
by Hauser, besides several other selections
in response to encores.
Prof. Koesters tone is sympathetic and
rich, while his technique surmounted with
apparent ease the difficulties of the c5mpo-
sitions rendered on the violin. He was &C
companied by Prof. Roth, whose skill as
an organist is so well known in this city.
Interspersed with the music were addresses
by Mr.. A. R. Server, Rev. w. II. Stone.
Ph.D., and Mr.. Irwin B. Linton.
Rev. George 8. Duncan Ph.D., who has
been pastor Of the lexington church FOR

INNES' BAND CONCERT Innes comes

evening, October Is, at the Columbia 1t
Is said that when this bandmaster was a
lad In England he used to follow the gor-
geously uniformed cavalry band known as
that OF Her Majesty's First Life Guards.
and 1t seemed to his young mind that the
soldier with the trombone was the head and
front of the band. He induced his father to
buy him trombone, and he was-laughed at
for his first attempts to play popular airs
and passionate bits on an instrument that
was made only for percussionary effect
But the boy blew on, and at seventeen he
was himself the first trombonist in the
band he had first followed and was already
known as the greatest trombonist in Eu-
rope. Two years after Pat Gilmore brought
him to America he was known as the most
marvellous trombenist Of the age rivalfng
on his unwieldly instrument the best cor
netists Of the world and giving the from
bone a sweetness of tone of which 1t was
never thought possessed
1nnes has applied his creative talent to
his band and has made such innovations
that he is credited with having ushered In
a new era Of band music. The band is ac-
companied by Miss Frances Boyden, So
prano of high repute who comes from a
recent European success. together with five
other vocalists Of national reputation, who
will: be heard in scenes from grand opera.
