Summer Season mt Fair Bank.

Louis Ostendorf has just completed the
organization OF his concert band for the
purpose of giving nightly concerts at Fair
Bank during the summer season. The band
will consist, this summer, of thirty-six mu-
sicians, including ten star soloists, and will
be the best company of instrumentalists
ever got together for open-air concerts in
this city. w. f. Barnes who conducted the
band so successfully during the latter part
of last summer has been re-engaged as di-
rector and cornet soloist. Mr.. Barnes ranks
high as a conductor, sOloist and composer OF
band music. The other cornet soloists will
be Guy A. Bates, Frank O. Boos, l.. r.
Fischer and Eugene Wack Mr.. Bates is
high-class artist having played for several
seasons with Liberati. Mr.. Boos belongs to
a famous family of musicians and is not
only fine arranger, but also composer OF
ability. Mr.. Fischer comes from Chicago
and is considered one of the best cornetists
of that city. Mr.. Wack will be remembered
for his excellent solo work of last summer
al Fair Bank. w. r. Yeagle, late of the La
Febre Saxophone Quartet has been secured
as leading saxophone sooist, and Joln
Ruby, of Cleveland, is another player Of
this instrument who has been engaged.
Thomas II. King, who will be the principal
trombone soloist, played at Manhattan
Beach last summer and is considered a star
in this particular line, while Henry Vet, of
Boston, who will be heard in xylophone
numbers, has been q member of several cell
ebrated European bands.

Creation was given in honor OF Haydn

The Tuesday afternoon concert will be
made up of many attractive numbers

Franz Wagner, the well-known 'cellist Will
be heard w. c. z. Seeboeck playing the
piano Accomplishments for the soloists.
The last concert of the festival, Tuesday
evening, will be notable for the rendition of
Rossini's beautiful "Satbat Mater" and
Mendelsshon's HE Shall Give the Angels"
from the oratorio, Elijah" In the latter
work the home singers-Mrs. Riggs, Miss
Grimm, Miss Gibson, Miss Hassler, Mr..
Taylor, Mr.. Van VIE. Mr.. Laut and Mr.
Bussey-wll be heard TO great advantage.
Of Rossni's "Stabat Mater" Edward
Nell, of the Metropolitan School OF Music,
writes as follows: 1T is the greatest or
Rossini's religious inspirations and Is one
of the most popular of oratorios. IL is
selected for most festivals because or It's
beauty, variety and general effectiveness.
1t abounds in rich harmonic changes and
fine orchestral coloring. That Rossini had
a wonderful gift for melody is strongly
evident in this beautiful work and although
the harmony is very rich and distlnctiVely
characteristic of Rossini the ever-beaut-
full flow of melody reigns supreme. Ii Is,
therefore, a composition that the musicaIly
uncultivated can enjoy almost as much
as the musician. The music at the same
time elevates and enthuses."
The orchestra and all OF the leading
soloists will arrive in Indianapolis to-mor-
row afternoon at 2:30 and will go at once
to English's Opera House for the final
complete rehearsal. This rehearsal, which
in itself will be great event, will attract
much attention, as the holders of season
tickets TO the festival will be permitted to
attend IL they so desire. The seats for the
three great concerts will be on sale at
English's box Office tomorrow morning.
1t is believed that the opera house VIII be
DIVIDED tomorrow evening with large
and representative audience. The revival
of the Indianapolis May festivals, which for
many years formed a feature OF the life
of the Hoosier capital. is worthy of all
the encouragement that 1t can be given

Appearances That Deceived.
Philadelphia Press.


The late Paul du Chaillu, the explorer,
who died in Russia the other day, was, in
appearances. the last man in the world one
would take to be the hero of the marvellous
adventures that he recounts In his various
books. He understood, was of a most
gentle disposition and. spoke in a soft voice.
When Du Chaillu was last in Philadelphia,
a little paragraph appeared about him In a
local newspaper. II was written by young
man, whose admiration for the feats of the
explorer boundless and for whom Du
Chaillu was head and shoulders above any
hero OF the time. The paragraph was only a
short one, but the writer had thrown a good
deal of his admiration into IL.
The next day the writer was sitting In the
Office alone when a little, timid-looking man
tiptoed in and said in a meek voice:
