Limit TO Hear the Magniii-
cent Band.

The large audience at the corn pal
ace Friday evening was %enrapport
with MI. Sousa and his band, and
there was Il vast sea of faces TUNED
toward the platform when he made
his appearance.
Before the program commenced DI.
Charles Eastman, OF Amherst, Mass,
vas introduced to the audience by
Mayor silsby and for fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes he gave IA very Interest
ing talk concerning the Indians OF
the west and referred to a battle be-
tween two tribes that took pace
within two Oh three miles OF this
city a great many Years ago, Or.
Eastman is supplied with 4 Large
fund of information concerning the
Indians and is associated in govern
ment work in this lire.
The program opened With tile
beautiful overture to Era Diayalo.
and this was followed by MIR. Her
bert Clarke in a cornet sole. He
played the lntlammatus from Stabat
Mater With splendid effect, for the
fine rendition of which he received
two encnres.
The Grand Eumher of the evening
was "sheridan's Ride, a historical
scene, which was composed 10y Mr..
Sousa. 1t is a fouslug and inspiring
number in which the author brought
in ONE grand musical effects. Mr..
Sousa responded in two encores. play
inc his popular Stars and Strips For
ever for u of the encores, the peo-
pie cheering and clapping their hands
during its rendition. The Religious
Meditation of ''Songs of Grace and
Songs of Glory took immensely
with the audience. introducing sew
eral of the we'll known religious Sc
lections, among them being Lead
kindly Light. 1t was arranged by
Mr.. Sousa. The band numbers closed

Pefetto and Funaro. comprising the
trombone section.
Miss Liebeling. the soprano, sang
last night as il singing to old
friends, there being that kindly feel
ing extended toward her and by her
graciousness we feel that it is recIp-
rocated entirely. She was recalled
twice, so anxious are the people to
hear her rich voice. Miss Strauss,
the violiniste, played one of her
most charming numbers, "Ballade
ct Polonaise." by Vicuxtemps, and
she gave it a classical presentation.
She is one Of the most popular yio-
lininStes who has ever visited Mitch
ell and she has held Der own with
the public for her splendid Skill and
her pleasing ways.
Throughout the evening the audi
ence showed the greatest enthusiasm
for the work OF the artists and the
leader. We have never yet had a
or a band at the corn PAL
ace who has shown so much consld-
GRAFTON for the people in giving them
all the music they want. 1t is very
much as Mr.. Sousa expressed it:

He was a young man OF sterling

OF some of his business cares by shift

Mr.. K. G. Ermey Of this city, pur-
chased the old Stanfield farm at pub

seems to be wonderfully good bar
