Kaiser is not only DESTROYS that the peo-
pie of this country should hear his pet

siclans to see the sights of America. Every
man in the band Is a thorough musician
and they are all equally as expert on string
as they are on wind instruments. All the
men are nearly six feet in height. broad
shoudered, robust and perfect specimens
of the strong rudy German type. The
leader measures six feet three and one
half inches, and is a Veritable giant. The
repertoire of the band includes fifteen
hundred compositions by the most famous
tour the band will be under the manage
ment of G. A. Wegefarth, manager Of the
Grand Opera House, Philadelphia. The
tour will last six months, but may be
extended if the consent of the Kaiser can

to be introduced will be a complete sym
phony on steel violins, and a selection
played on long herald horns and kettle
drums descriptive of the charge of a
troop of German cavalry.
