trify the world with the talent of the | musicians who will graduate here and | go forth to play before the crowned | heads of the old countries across the l deep water. This particular concert l had been planned for weeks-yes, for l months, and right faithfully had the | boys been preparing for the occasion !! when it should come. The opening se- 1 lection was played on the pavement in | front of the company store. at & o'clock. The crowd soon assembled and | followed the horn blowers into the hall l where there Were seats for everyone | The opening was q selection by the | band. Miss Boyd followed with d piano selection, and proved herself a muSi- | elan of rare attachments. Her touch is light and masterful. She was encored by the appreciative audience. but her heart was of stone and she would not respond. A march by the orchestra was excellent. The members of the or chestra were also encored. but showed the stony heart. A. Ingraham was next on the programme. He is a violinfst of great ability, and amused his hearers very much. He was encored by the IL. J. Peralto, the talented cornetfst, play ed solo for the edification of the peo- pie that was very fine. He is a musi- clan of which any town would feel proud. MikadO was acted and sung by a number of young men who are stars at the business. They were dressed in the flowing robes of the Japanese. and had the fans and general appearance of the little brown men from across the world. Edgington was a trife too port ly to pass anywhere except in Jerome for Jap, but he did his part real we'll They Were called for for minutes after the completion of the performance. but as they could think of no other strictly Japanese song and dance. they grace fully declined the honor of appearing a second time in their uniform George Stewart planted his music sand well to the front of the stage and poured forth 9 tuba solo that took the house by storm. The tuba was so large that George was hidden behind it. He blew so hard that ne blew himself into the horn, all but his feet, and had hard work eXtricating himself after the home stretch in his music book was reached. He was seconded by the bal 1nce of the band. George plays the tuba very well and is Irdent in his de- sire to eXcell in his speciality. Right here let me stop and say that the song by MT Marsh was a nice feature of the entertainment. He has a good voice. Mrs. Courtney Minty, who is a favo- l.-e with the Jerome people. rendered vocal selection in her usual pleasing manner She was encored until it was a pain case that in order to allow the programme to be completed she would have to respond with another song She responded and .he crowd subsided. Mrs. Thorbeck presided at the piano for snort time and was loudly cheered She is a good pianist and is weM liked in the town 1f Jerome. Before she save her heart and hand Ito Gus Thor beck she was prominent in all socia!s and concerts but has been wrapped in her home affairs since then till she is seldom before the public. Her play ing is always appreciated. The band played "Swees Dreams" at this stage of the game to the delight of the au- dience. Ingraham took the floor and sawed off a selection which was de- lightfuI. His violin playing was one of the best parts Of the entertainment. MT Ingraham is a fine looking youth dHi caused many a DiuSh to ripple down the cheeks of numerous young la dies present. The band then poured forth great sound which was called De Cake Walk Coon" It was a d:s- tinctly Jerome piece and was the best piece played by the band during the evening. After the completion of the programme the band played a patriotic air and it was all over. Too much credit cannot be giv- en the band boys for the way they have improved since they organized. At that time there were only a few members who could tell the difference between a piece of music and China writing. Now the band is as good as the aver age town in Arizona has, and is fast pulling to the front. In another year the Jerome band will have made rec ord for itself.
 F. D. Treadwell is again in Jerome after a trip to California on mining business.
 Col Bosworth returned from his New York trip yesterday morning. He is looking well.
 The whole town seems to be prepar- ing to go 70 the ball tonight to be given 1 by the Miners union. About 300 tick cts have been sold already at $1.5O each.
