dience was remarkably enthusiastic. Nearly

were fully as enjoyable as the program BE-
lections. The band has been greatly
strengthened since last season, particularly
in the reed section and It Is now the best
organization that Mr.. Haley has ever had
1t plays in absolute obedience to the con-
ductor's baton and its delicacy Of shading
was particularly noticeable in the Poet
and Peasant overture. and in the Pader-
ewski minuet. Its dash and power were
brought out in Sousa's Occidental march.
and in the selections from Faust" Other
band numbers were: Banta's Patrol
Oriental" Halls Spirit Of Love-, waltz
and excerpts from The Burgomaster.
Three soloists assisted Mr.. Haley, MI.
Antonio Cello, piccolo; Mr. Cornelius
