orchestra. Mr.. Haley extended an invita-
ton to all OF the prominent mus .cians in
Washington when making up the mem
bership of those who will render the in
augural dance music under his direction
and he has secured, with few exceptions
the best known men in the city. OF the
orchestra, 10 men are local musicians
and the rest are the best available from
other cities. Among those whose names
are well known to Washington music low
ers is William Greene, n violin soloist of
considerable note. who will act as concert
master of the orchestra. Among the vio-
Inns are musicians OF the reputation of
Oswald Welt and Joseph Finckel Win
ceslaus Vilapando is q Mexican soloist
well known in Washington, who will be
among the cello performers. Messrs.
Firthmeyer, Warner, and Hildebrandt are
violinists whose services have been Sc
cured from the Peabody Orchestra of Bos-
ton.
Mr.. Haley states that he is ten days
ahead of four years ago in the matter of
practice. He cons ders that already his
orchestra has given him satisfactory proof
that its performance at the ball will
largely discount its record of 1897. At the
first rehearsal half of the programme that
is to be rendered was put into rehearsal
and at the last rehearsal the numbers
were completed. At the next and final
rehearsals every number OF the pro-
gramme will be practiced.
Mr.. Haley has himself composed a
march which he will offer as his own con-
tribution to the programme at the ball
The piece is entitled the Inauguration
March and has been dedicated by the
composer to Chairman Edison and Vice
Chairman ROessle, of the Inaugural Com
