The Wilkes Barre Record speaks as fol-
lows of Bauer and his band of this city:
Last evening Bauer came down from
Scranton with his band and gave Il fine
concert on the Ross lawn. which WAS
crowded to Its capacity with an enthusi-
astic and aprcciative audience. The band
played the marches and other selections
with the dash, vim and tone color for
which it is noted and won much mcritcd
hnr h,
Eramme was encored. VIII y. Kelly, the
well known baritone, rendered The
Storm Fiend" and The Brigand" in his
fine form and was enthusiastically en-
corcd. Thomas Miles gave a selection on
the cornet and showed himself to be an
able performer on that instrument.
"Bauer's band has been In existence
good many years and has achieved u rep.
utation eqrallcd by few organizations of
the kind in the state. The men by long
association and practice together have
come to understand each other thorough
ly and this has very apprcciable effect
upon the music they produce. They play
with confidence and with IL precision that
is admirable. Now that band concerts
have become so popular in this city 1t is
hoped that Mr.. Bauer and his aggregation
will come soon again"
