 In itself this might not be considered extraordinary, but what was really eI- traordinary was that the work was of a1 exceptionally high order of merit, equal in very many ways to the work of the military bands under Italian lead CTS, whose concerts here are familiar and popular.
 It was astonishing to find accom- plished musicians in persons who only very few years ago would have been clasSed as uncivilized. In uniformity and precision Ot attack, in clear, sccur. ate shading, in strength and power of mastery of their instruments these un- tutored children of Alaska would be creditable scholars Of SOusa. Their conductor, J Nelson, deserves the greatest possible credit. He is justly entitled to be called an Alaskan Sousa, The band has it's public reputation to make, but fl it does as well elsewhere, musically, as as it has done here lt should become a very great musical success.
