INNES BAND CONCERT-The leading
concert bands of America are undoubtedly
among the best In the world, and in
favor with classes and masses alike. They
| nave brought band music into the domain
OF high art and have exerted an admiral bic
influence. Prior to their coming, the reper-
toire Of all military bands was necessarily
linked to such martial airs Dixie and
When Johnnie Comes Marching Home"
Gilmore, Sousa and Innes have, however,
changed all this. The recent success of the
sousa band in Europe, and that Of Innes at
Atlantic City during the last few summers
and at the Pan-American exposition at Buff
falo has amply demonstrated the fact that

either the old or new world. Innes is said
to nave played to close on 900, 900 paid ad-
missions at his summer concerts promi-

gathering that heard his first recital here
was a wonderful evidence Of the interest
awakened by the reports Of his perform

be received by large audiences They hope
to attract them later; but Introductory con-
certs are not, as a rule reckoned among

most continuously convulsed by another
factor-the appearance of two stalwart
strong young men as women OF fashion.

the stars to which those parts were as
