MUSIC EVERYWHERE.
Inc Kilties Band Makes Concord
OF Sweet Sounds At Colonial
Theatre---A Great
Musical Organ
ization.

Ihere was a concord of sweet sounds
st the Colonial Theatre last night
and the night was turned into music
ana the cares that infest the dav
toIded their tents like the Arabs. and
as silently stole away, with apologies
20 Mr.. LonRfellow for slight changes. !
Music was everywhere, the air was
tull OF it and the Kilties band exuded
sweetest music at every touch of their
instruments. Indeed they must live
and breathe and move and have their
pelng IN music, they seem to be so
musical. The Kilties Band of Belle.
vie, Canada, Mr.. l.. +. Addison,
conductor. is famous everywhere. 1t
mas played in the courts of Euroue
and before Kings aud Queens and
wherever the band is heard people are
very enthusiastic in their praises.
annapolis today is loud in its prais.
es o. the kilties Band. every member
Of whom is an artist. Professor Zim.
nerman, director of the Naval Acad.
emy Band, occupied box last night
and is warm in his praises of the
music as rendered by the Kilties
Sand. Professor TaIovoskv, also of
the Academy Band. was present and
speaks highly of the music of the
baud. The Kilties take their name
from their costumes and wear Scotch
kits with short plaid stockings and
bare knees. Their dress excited much
interest and unusual comments yes
5erday ON the streets.
The program was varied and pleas.
Ang. The bagpipe solo by Hon. Pipe
Major Albert 'Johnstone, was a gem of
musical loveliness. The audience
never had the faintest idea taat such
music could possibly issue from a
bagpipe. Mr.. Johnstone was encored
again and again, and to say that his
efforts were appreciated is putting il
mildly. Tobane's Flower Song was
exquisite and the selection of Scotch
songs and dances arranged by Godfrey
as probably the gem of the evening.
Ii was medley and the band glided
from one air into the other with such
harmony that they all blended to-
gether as though it were one grand
musical composition instead of
dozen or more, with the finale Auld
Lang Syne.
The sword dance by Mr.. Tom
tombstone was revelation ia grace
and expeditions foot movement. As
fast as the band could play the dance
music Mr.. Johnstone danced between
two crossed swords, never touching
them aud keeping most perfect time.
His dancing is model of grace and
rhythem. The Highland Fling was
danced by two young ladies in a
sklllful and very artistic manner, and
the Irish jig was especially good.
1t is safe TO say that the Kilties Band
is a wonderful musical organization
and leaves Creatore's Band away be.
hind in musical ability and execution.
It is to be regretted that the audience
was not larger, but there are several
reasons for this. Probably Annapolis
is accustomed to such good music by
the Naval Academy Band, it does not
care to patronize a foreign musical
organization. Again, it is Lent and
many church people would have been
present but for this reason, and per.
haps some were doing penance for
having swelled the audience on Mon
day night to the record. breaking re.
eeipts and standing room only' ca

The City Side OF The Dock Ques-
tion.

Annapolis, Md, March 6, 1906.
Mr.. Editor-Ne would kindly ask
space in your paper TO reply TO the
statement made by Mr. Lewis Gardner
in regard to the City Dock. The
Street Committee entered into contract
ith Mr. Gardiner to bulkhead south
side of City Dock according to speci.
fioations, which he has failed TO do
in several particulars, after having
been notified by the committee on
several occasions He claimed the
way he was doing the work would
stand any filling, we saw fit to fiji
with. We called his attention 60 tho
fact that the braces did not go back in
the bank according TO specifications.
He guaranteed TO us as mechanic
that they were back far enough and
would hold any pressure that could bo
put on the wharf after the filling was
put in As matter of fact it has
not, and tho wharf has bulged. The
committee does not feel they are i'm
error and still hold the contractor Go
fulfill his contract according 60
specification
In regard TO the fender piles being
driven from six to ten inches from
the cap log having any effect upon the
bulging of the wharf is all out Of
the question because the space was
filled in and bulginR occurred before
the said piles were bOlted into the cap
log Evidently MIR Gardner realizes
the work is not done in "A mechanical
way, because since the bulgipR of the
same he has tried to prevent further
bulging by running an iron rod from
the cap log back in the bank, and
forcing the lower cap log up with a
board TO fill the space where the sec
ond cap log bulged over The com
mittee holds Mr.. Gardner's bond
and will appeal to the same for the
completion of the work according 60
the specifications.

The character of Zeke Dobson in the

oancention. Among the lmany imper-
0onofioDs of rural types offered to the

has even attempted to portray this in

bull, and they fought the thing out. Colonel Butt explained how the manufac- turers suffered by reason of the high price of cotton. MT. Percy showed how and why the farmers should get the best price they could command.
 Colonel Butt Takes Notes.
 "On our jaunts we passed several cot ton gins and Colonel Butt diligently count ed the bales. Returning. he counted them again. and added all the counts up, saying he would use the totals to depress the market value of cotton in England.
 That's characteristic bear taetics,' said MT. Percy. You fellows always jusgle the figures to try to show that the visible supply and bales ginned are twice as large as they really are. Colonel Butt, however, kept on figuring on his statistics.
 "On our way home that night in the stage, Mir. LeRoy Percy asked Colonel Butt if he liked England better than America.
 I am a native American" said Colonel Butt. "and a good American, too, but I like England so well that if should tell you what a beautiful country 1t is and now CuaIUl1Dk are lile bllElSl ptODltf SOu would think me unpatriotic. The political and social ideals of the two nations are in all essentials similar if not identical.
 Toast to Two Nations.
 "This was said as we got into the prl- vate car for dinner, and it naturally sug gested toast both to the old country and the new. Strange, wasn't 1t, that 1zfIr the natural sympathy between England and the United States should have been so happily Illustrated.
 "I hesitate to relate what happened that night when dinner was over It Is sufficient for me to say that as I watched the proceedings I understood for the first time the truth of Charles James Foxs witty remark namely, that the greatest pleasure in cards Is to win, and the next greatest is to lose. Gaming said one of the company, quoting another of Foxs epigrams, is pastime for men of wit a passion for fools.'
 ''The second day was delightful-we had good luck. and the huntsmen were in fine form. NTr. Walker Percy retrieved his fortunes nobly. We ran Into and flushed covey after covey of quail and cartridges. and MT. Pereys aim was un- errlng. He scarcely once missed fire. At the close of the day he had more than fifty quail and others in the party brought home well filled bags.
 On the Way Home.
 That night we left Kilmchael for h ome. Dear old Uncle Peter was there to bid us goodbye, as were all the boys, and Uncle Peter gave us a thine to the dregs' toast as we started for home. MT -LeRoy Percy, who did so much to make the trip delightful, remained at Xiii michael The rest of us came on to Bir- mingham, getting here at o'clock Sun day morning. We had most delightful outing-on that point all of us will, I think, agree"
