adulation could express the exalted de- light which he gave to every responsive soul last evening. The deep-rooted emo ton which lies hidden in his heart re- spends with a terrific impetus when he holds the baton over his devoted com pany of players. All their eyes are strained to catch his movements. With out score he conducts, rushing here and there to the different groups of the band instilling his magic sway and power into each assembled group of thorough band artists. A large au- dience greeted MT. Creatore last even ing and even their expectations were certainly surpassed. The concert open ed with the sterling march composed by the bandmaster. This only gave an inkling to the great possibilities of which the band was capable. The famil- far overture William Tell'' was given with wonderful spontaneity of attack, and the gorgeous climax of the band was tremendous. This part of the band is especially excellent, and in all of their fortissimo passages it seemed as if it was one tremendous outburst from a single instrument.
 Creatore conducted this number with admirable accuracy and precision. Ev- cry lead was anticipated, and his CO., performers responded in the same spirit which was springing with tremendous temperament out of his soul.
 Mme Barili, the assisting artist, pos sesses a very pleasing voice and gave as her number the Arditi Valse by Yer III. paniment by the band and after an en- thusiastic encore sang "The Serenade" by Niedlinger.
 Gillet's 'Lom du Bal'' was played in very fascinating way, although of course it is not a band composition.
 The overwhelming feature of the eve- ming was the last number which was Grand Selection from Carmen. Such rendering by d band has probably never before been given. It was here that the superb individuality of the band was accentuated to the highest degree.
 Worthy of note were the solos by the beautiful quality of the English horn, and the clear, fiawless tone of the bas- soon. Then the climax of the full bass (fortissimo) with the rest of the band, | which served as a background to this thrilling ending. This one selection should be enough to prove all state ments that it is the greatest band before the public to-day.
 The people of New Haven ought to feel indebted to Rudolph Steinert for ar ranging this musical attraction.
 The last opportunity Of hearing Crea- tore and his band will be this afternoon and evening.
