stingy with his encores and is always
ready to respond to hearty apprecia-
tory applause.
The evening performance served to
introduce Mrs. Emma Partridge, the So
prano who has never before been heard
in Topeka. She certainly made dis
tinct hit from the first moment she op-
ened her mouth. Her soprano is rich,
clear and sweet and of volume well
adapted to outdoor work Her number
was Arditi's Love in Springtime" and
she responded to an encore with THE
One I Love-
Another distinctive feature was the
cornet solo of Bohumir Kryl. THE Car
nival of Venice" arranged by Kry1 him
self. His rendition was so startling and
sational that he was several times
interrupted by applause. He gave the
audience a hint of his wonderful versa
tility by rendering the notes of the bass
horn on his cornet- His encore was the
familiar popular air Psyche
For the first number the 'Sakuntala"
overture which. by the way requires 20
minutes for it's rendition, was a Strauss
polka For the Kammenoi Ostrow
Innes played Near the Ball. by Gil

er people went out to Vinewood park
| Sunday afternoon and evening to listen
to the concerts given by Innes' superb

| The crowd started to go out in the
morning and kept drifting out until 2

| For an hour the cars which went

park authorities or to the street car
management. A slight ripple occurred
when two rowdies tried to pick a
quarrel with a member of the Innes
band, but the affair subsided in a
flow of hot language. There was a
rumor that some of the brew was to
be had at some distance from the
grounds, brought out by an enterpriS-
ing jointist Who had a view to the
nedes of some of the thirsty, but the
matter was kept on the quiet and only
the initiated were next. The park au-
thorities were poWerleSs to do any
thing as it was off their domain.
A great many of the people came
out in the afternoon in time for the
concert at 8 o'clock. took we'll pro-
visioned baskets along and lunched out
/ on the grass, remaining for the even
ing concert. That the town was music
hungry was evidenced by the way the
crowds passed up the other amuse-
| ments at the park during the concert
hour and centered their attention and
: interest to the south portion of the
park where the band held forth The
only charge which the railway com
pany made was one of ten cents for
the reserved seats in the inclosure
, just the car fare to get to the grounds
was all the expenditure needed If one
