Next Monday evening Sousa, the
most famous bandmaster in the world
with his celebrated organization, will
give a concert in this city at the Hy-
perion Sousa has just returned from
pleasure jaunt through the south and
old Mexico. Owing to foreign engage
ments he can surrender but two months
in all to touring this country at the
present time. The great band opsns at
the Paris exposition April IA. Sousa
has shown that he IS one OF the most
progressive Of men. No other man oc-
cupying such share of public atten-
ton in quicker to catch the forward step
and keep himself in the van OF devel-
opment in all directions, and especially
In his own domain Of music, than Is
John Philip sousa. There Is hardly
matter in the entire world of music of
hot he, 1ooI
not instantly informed upon. Sousa is
one of the first to thoroughly cpcom-
pass its full import. Master of the pro-
auctions Of the past, he is constantly
scanning the present for evolution,
that which Is new in the mind OF later
day genius. Nor has Sousa ever before
shown more conclusively that he Is pre-
pared to meet any requirement, how
ever severe, than he has Of late In pro-
viding amply for great test at the
Paris exposition, and concert tour
through the old world. His programmes
are said to be marvels Of selections
from the very latest of modern pro-
auctions and the entire productions of
the past 1t Is not going too far to
say that his present programmes are
almost altogether made up of works
rarely If ever head before in band con-
certs The special soloists for Monday
night are Miss Bertha Bucklin, violin,
and Miss Blanche Duffield, soprano, and
regular sololsts OF the band will also
be heard. Seats now on sale. Prices,
