II was an excellent program presented by
an excellent band, and the new conductor
senior ohiamerelli made a favorable i'm
preston. He Is an energetic capable
bandmaster, with considerably more life

eNaggerator as Creatore. He handled his
work with SIKH and good taste, The band

Colonel Ellery addressed the audience.
stating that through the action Of RIvea,
the former conductor, the bands music
had been tied up IN Denver, so that four
concerts were given in Denver on Labor
day, and four days OF concert given In
Colorado Springs without n note to play
from. But the present leader was Sc.
cured from Philadelphia at once, with a
new library, so the band is on it's feet
again, and In fact in better shape than
before, The colonel was received with
applause. The band went to Park city
today, and tomorrow and Sunday 1t plays
