Whilst it will be pleasant news to
the many friends of Mr.. w. F. Blois
to learn that he has returned to Sa-
vannah to reside, it will be source of
deep regret to them to hear that he is
in very i'll health and confined to his
residence. During the time that Mr.. Blois
resided here he was considered one of
the foremost singers of the city. and
he has held choir positions in various
of the churches. Upon leaving here for
New Orleans, where he has lived for
the past two years, he resigned the
position of basso in the choir of ST.
Johns Church, which he had held for
several years. Mr.. Blois was one of
the organizers of the Music Club. and
was one of it's most active supporters
up to the time that he left Savannah.
He has also taken prominent parts in
most of the amateur operas given here
of hate years, chief among which were
'"The Chimes of Normandy" Pirates
of Penzance." and Priscilla" 1t is
hoped that Mr.. Blois' health will speed
lily improve, and that his many friends
may soon again have an opportunity
Oh nearing MN sing.
Mr.. w. S. Blum who has been in
New York for the past three weeks
has returned to The city and resumed
his duties in the Cathedral choir. Mr..
Blum will again sing the solo part in
the Ella Mater" in the Stabat Mater
on next Thursday night at the Music
Club.
Since assuming the conductorship of
the First Regiment Band Mr.. Scott
Cameron has brought it up to a state
OF good proficiency, thus enabling it
to furnish better military band music
than has ever before been furnished
in Savannah. A number of years ago
Mr.. H. M. Cobb organized a white mill
itary band which bid fair to be a sue
cess, but the venture fell through.
Now. however, Mr.. Cameron has UNI
der him a band of which he may we'll
feel proud, and one that is a pride to
the city. In his band he has four
comets, two trombones, two altos, two
tubas, one baritone, four clarionets,
one picolo, one kettledrum and one
bassdrum, and he is all the while
working to gradually enlarge it.
Throughout the summer concerts were
given in the Park Extension, which
attracted large GROVES, and recently
these concerts have been resumed
again. Mr. Cameron has not restricted
the repertoire OF his band to march
music of the lighter strain, but has
also worked up a large repertoire of
the better class of music, such as is
given by the larger military bands of
the North. The work of this band re-
meets good credit upon it's conductor.
