WAS GOOD
Concert and Dance Pleases
 People

Probably the best musical enter- tainment that was ever given in Skagway was the concert of the Third Infantry orchestra which had the boards at Elks' hall last night. The program was well selected and ex' cellenily rendered. There were about 25O persons present and they gave the musicians from Fort William H.. Seward a splendid reception, heartily encoring many of the 10 pieces that were on the program. The perform ance began promptly at o'clock and continued for two hours, when dancing began and kept up until l o'clock The evening was a treat to music lovers and those who enjoy dancing.
 The people generally have expressed the desire that the Third Infantry band give another concert and dance at this place before long, and it is likely it will do so.

Mr. Howells, with smile, went on to say
that after dining evening at q restaurant
in NeI-York he much impressed with the
