PLEASING CONCERTS
 OF CORONADO BAND
Two DelighfuI Programs Presented
 Here Yesterday.

As announced in yesterday morning 8 paper the Coronado Tent City band spent yesterday in Phoenix, giving two delightful free concerts on the city hall plaza, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening. This band is too we'll known in Phoenix to need extend ed laudatory remarks. It visits this city annually in its advertising touI in the interest of the famous Coronado tent city and the annual coming is looked forward to by many as a mu- sical feast.
 This is the seventh season for the band under the direction of Henry Ohl- meyer and the fame of MT. Ohlmeyer as a leader is no less renowned than the nOtability Of the aggregation in it's entirety. The program given yester- day afternoon was printed in The Re publican of yesterday morning: the program presented in the eevning was as follows:
 SOloists: Mir. Franz HeIe. FIuegeI horn soloist; MT. w. R. Reftz. sylo- phone soloist: MT. H. Rosenblum. Eng fish horn soloist MT. Frank G. Paul isch, cOrnet soloist; Mir. F. c. Kendall, euphonium soloist

SCHOOL OF MUSIC
 COMMENCEMENT
No Similar Entertainment for Sim
 liar Purpose Ever Held in Phoenix.

The Arizona School of Music closed
 for the year with it's first commence
 ment exercises, which were held in the
 First Methodist church auditorium i last night. For the occasion there had 1 been numerous invitations issued and the large room Was more than well filled when the program commenced. The only graduate of the school was | Miss Juliet L. Gentry. who had com pleted the work of the piano depart ment. The program was given by Miss 1 Gentry, assisted by Karl Cochems. 1 Ic.mer A. Todd and Miss Grace Abbie 1 Andrews. From a musical standpoint
 although numerous artists of very high i class and great fame have visited Phoenix, there never was a more enter taining program given in Phoenix and 1t is doubtful if one was ever more sincerely applauded. There were no encores responded to- each of the artists appearing several times on
 the program.
 Miss Gentry gave seven classical numbers entirely from memory. Her program had been arranged that her wide range of interpretation might be shown, the composers of the numbers coming from Germany, Poland, Nor
 T y. Sitting at the piano Miss Gentry looked more like a picture than one in the flesh. the grand tones which responded to her touch of the keys lending en- chantment to the scene. Such talent as she displayed, none who heard her could doubt, showed a vast amount Of close application and study. but there was, too, in the artist, a display of a natural talent for her work. Her frs piece was one of Weber's, her second Chopin, a third Sinding the fourth Cheminade and the fifth Schubert L1szt. It was however, in her closing number, Hungarian Fantasie." by I.iszt. that she appeared to the best ad- vantage. In this as well as in the Weber composition. MT Todd played orchestral accompaniments arranged by himself on the pipe organ.
 A1r- Cochems sang four numbers dur ing the evening, accompanied by Miss Andrews. His first number was 70 Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star" A second selection was At Parting" A third The Brook" and the fourth, De Kovens "Song of the Turnkey The singer was never in better voice and was well received.
 In presenting tine diploma Governor Kibbey made a few very appropriate remarks, discussing music as an ar;. cOngratulating the artists ana the founder of the school and lastly ex- pressed his appreciation of the fact that Phoenix and the territory ha6 such an institution within their bounds that could appear so creditably.
 The school during the year has had exceptional success. The enrolment showed 173 pupils in all of the depart ments. This is the second year of the institution, the first concert being given by the faculty at the opening on October 2S. 1904. During the coming year Miss Gentry will take a place in the school faculty as assisting teacher in the department Of piano Mrs Shirley Christy. the founder of the school and its director. in speaking of the year closed, attributed the success of the institution to the superior teach CTS who made up the school faculty superior not only in their ar5 but Of superior personalities.

INFANTS WRAPPER 5aos.

The warm and comfortable wrapper that can be slipped on over baby.s night gown while waiting for his morn ing bath, makes a most important fea- ture of his wardrobe. This one can be made just as dainty as the fondest mother could desire, yet is so simple that it involves very little labor in the making. As illustrated the material is pale blue French flannel with collar and cuffs of the material embroidered by hand, but cashmere and henrietta are both correct, and perhaps a bit better for the warmer weather. while Tor quite wintry days still heavier flannel or f1anneiette can be used.

HENS LAY EGGS WITH HANDLES

New York, March 1e.-Robert e.
Foster, Jr., Of Newton, Sussex county,
New Jersey, an ornithologist and biol
ogist, has succeeded, with the able as
sistance of his white Leghorn roosters
and hens, in developing an egg with a
handle
Mr.. Foster will not tell how he edu-
Gated the Leghorns up to this, but he
has seven eggs with handles. One
such is on exhibition in the editorial
rooms Of the Sussex Register and
proves the power of suggestion over
intelligent and observant fowls.
On the small end of this egg is a
protuberance from the shell about as
big as the handle of tiny demitasse.
The butt of the egg is flattened, SO
that the egg stands by itself. Any one
can see the immense economic and
commercial value Of an egg SO shaped.
Egg cups will be superfluous hereaf-
ter.
But Mr.. Foster is reaching for a
higher triumph. He is adding, grad
ually, whisky, sugar and nutmeg to
the water his Leghorns drink. He
expects soon to ship egg-nogs by the
crate labeled: Slice OFF the top.
That's all"
