many Of the band members were on
the ground. but there was long wait
for the dray load of instruments. rhe
audience grew restless again and the
Welsh Quartette gave a couple Of se-
lections Then came the band.
The program as given in Mondays
Evening Herald was followed out COM
pletely 1t opened with Liszt's mag
nificent Second Hungarian Rhapsody,
and when the audience hungrily de-
manded more, they gave two-step
that set everybody's feet moving and
made even staid and dignified "profes-
sofs' wish for level sward beneath
the greenwood tree. Then the music
changed to the heart-breaking sweet
ness of "Traumerei," and that ripping
Spring Song" which carries with it
nevertheless a tender melancholy.
The third number was variation
on Everybody WORKS But Father, +"
which was so appreciated that they
played Teasing" Then came tie
novelty feature of the program in the.
program in the shape Of Fantasy
Caprice for the string bass by Mr..
Vaclav Jiskra, a Bohemian musician.
He drew a wonderful sweetness from
mis- bulky instrument, and played with
such skill that the audience demand
ed an encore. for which he played
star OF Eve most beautifully
The remaining band numbers were
as beautifully rendered and the so
prano, Miss Listemann, acquitted her
self so well that the audience would
not let her off without an encore, ,much
as she seemed to wish. She is the
possessor of powerful and well
trained soprano voice.
The Overture of Tannhauser closed
the program The Innes Band Is GER
tainly perfectly organized and is han
died by master who knows how to
bring out the full power Of the music.
Tuesday Evening.
The crowd at the Chautauqua Tues
day evening was simply enormous.
Extra seating had been arranged, the
aisles were full and the standing room
at the rear crowded. 1t was music
loving assembly, too; one that did not
talk, did not grow restless in spite of
the heat and the crowded conditions.
And the band. Innes was at his best,
and his wand brought forth harmo-
ny that filled and uplifted every heart.
OF its numbers the favorites were
the Festival Overture, ''Triumphal, by
Rubinstein, and the Procession of tie
Holy Grail" from Wagner's Parsital.
The first was encored twice and as en-
core for the second the band gave
"The Star Spangled Banner" which
brought the audience to its feet in q
fever of patriotic enthusiasm. The
harp solo by J. H. Williams was won
derful, and he showed himself a COM
plete master of the instrument, from
which he drew the very soul Of music.
Miss Listemann sang her Aria as well
as in the afternoon and responded to
a continued encore with "I Dreamed
I Dwelt in Marble, Halls" that beauti-
full but half-forgotten song.
The entire program was feast Of
song, and was thoroughly appreciat-
ed.
