ELLERY ON MONDAY.
Great Royal Italian Band VIII Be at
Auditorium.

It seems that ElIery's Royal Italian
band left Chicago under protest
There were no legal attachments TO
strong attachment on the part of the
Chicago music lovers interfered. The
band will play at the Auditorium
Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Eye witnesses who were present al
the farewell concert of the Ellery band
in Chicago on Monday evening have
now arrived in this city and they de-
clare that the kilograms describing
the goodbye of the band which was
published in the papers here, by no
means do justice to the reality OF the
affair. First of all, the police had to
be called before the band had finished
gramme to stop the sale of tickets, the
crowd in the vast hall having already
long oyerstepped the danger point
Not only was every available chair oc-
tables were packed with eager listeners
who stood on their feet for fully three
hours. not to miss the scene of the
farewell of the greatest band that
Chicago had ever listened to. During
the course of the evening the band
and its young director were the objects
of ovation upon ovation, especially
after the phenomenal performances
, which they gaye OF II IT .c9s sa ),
Sig. Palma, for his exquisite playing of
one of Tosti's beautiful love-songs, re-
ceived no less than five eneores, but all
this was as nothing when compared
with the scene that took place after
the final chords of the Lucia" sex
tette. Then it was that Chicago
showed her lung power and the
agility of her men and women, for
aristocratic as was the vast audience,
both men and women forgot all SEM
biance of decorun, as with cries and
yells of mad delight, they jumped upon
the chairs and tables, the while waving
handkerchiefs, umbrellas, hats, wells
and even beer glasses in the air. En-
core after encore was insisted upon
until the band had to cease from pure
inability to play any longer. Then the
frantic crowd pressed around the
leader and the principal soloists of the
company and Rugged and kissed them
as though they were their own very
nearest and dearest. Sig. Ferullo was
carried upon the shoulders of the peo-
pie and treated generally as they treat
great artists in Europe when musical
madness seizes an audience and whirls
it into complete self-forge tfulness.
Chicago. as famous as she is for ex-
elements never witnessed scene like
the one of last Monday night when
the Ellery band said eau Revoir.".
