MARSHALL'S CONCERT.
Popular Band Tries New Instruments
at the Auditorium.

Only a comparatively small audience
attended the band concert last evening
at the Auditorium for the benefit of
monument in honor of the late Harry
Stafford. This was on account of sew
eraI causes, chief of which, it is ex-
planned was that MarshalPs band was
forced into the concert prematurely by
the lawyers who have the monument
fund in charge. There was, however,
$500 realized from the advance sale of
tickets.
Upwards of $4,000 worth of musical
instruments, including the band in
struments and the pipe organ, were
used in the concert last evening and
less than 500 persons paid for admission
to the hall After contemplating such
an occurrence it is no wonder the bust
ness manager goes about with a leaden
heart.
The concert last evening was of par
ticular interest because it afforded the
first opportunity the public had of
hearing the band use the new instru-
~ments which were purchased by popu-
lar subscription, and which are valued
at about S. 900.
Four entirely new selections were pre-
scented on the programme from a total
of seven numbers. Hume's THE
Trumpeters of the Crown" an overture,
was doubtless the best of the new num-
bers. Voelker's march Always Ready
and the Mexican dance Maria" by
Davila, together with Voelker's Inter
mezzo HAdriadne" were the other new
selections. The musical score of
Babes in Toyland" was also presented
as one of the lighter numbers. An en-
core was given after two of the band
selections.
Prof. George Barlow Penny, dean of
the school of fine arts of Washburn col
lege, was at the organ. His first num-
Der Poet and Peasant called for an
encore although it was less pleasing
than any of the other organ numbers
For the encore Mr.. Penny gave a Rub
enstein melody. In his second number
he presented a group including Bris-
sons "Pavane FavOrite," Thomas
kowski's "Serenade" All of these Sc
lections were most excellently rendered
and an encore was demanded after the
group.
