 under way to make it an event in the
 history of West Haven.
 At the meeting of the National Mill
 tary Band, held on Monday evening
 last, delegation from the board of
 wardens and burgesses was present to discuss the subject with Leader Holt and his colleagues.
 A committee was then appointed con- sisting of Warden Clarence E. Thomp- son and Burgesses s. T. Butterfeld and John Hayes, together with Leader Fred A. Holt, Leon Gregg and Rollin | w. Coe, of the band This commit ee will formulate all plans and are ready to receive subscriptions of any amount to aid in the purchase of fireworks, decorations and other expenses. The National Military Band, with | characteristic generosity, have offered | their services for the evening and will also do all in their power to make the event success.
 | Leader Holt has already begun the selection of the program, which he in tends to be the best of the season. The principal number will be the deecrip- tive overture Cuban War; or the Fall of Santiago This arrangement was | written by c. w. Dolbey, and has been played with success by the leading bands of the country.
 The writer has reproduced In the composition the Cuban war, from the declaration of war to the fall of San tiago. The synopsis of composition, taking each movement alphabetically, is as follows:
 (a) War Is declared. The remon- strance of the nations are shown by the intermingling of their respective national airs. Uncle Sam's ultimatum.
 (b) Approach of the troops. their number in a patrol, in which several bands can be distinguished and as they approach the music of the bands gradually die away, except the one on the right of the line, which can be heard in great volume.

 (d) A march, "The Girl I Left Behind Me"
 (e) By cars to the South, an excel lent representation of the locomotive leaving the station, gradually increas- ing it's speed until it Is going at ex- press gait. At this point the whole band takes it up with a gallop until they reach the Southern station.
 (f) A Southern scene, "Old Folks at Home"
 (g) First is heard the ship bell an nouncing that the troops are about to sail for Cuba, and then the strains of Life on the Ocean Wave" are heard; then a trio for baritone, trombone and basses in Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" Then the sailors ball, danced to the music of "The Sailors Hornpipe."
