There was considerable diSappoint-
Tnent among the members of the band
when they reached port to learn that
a concert could not be given in the
afternoon at the Opera House as
planned W. D. Adams, of the Homo
lulu Concert and Lecture Bureau, met
the manager of the band and explained
the situation and then arranged for
concert at the Zoo, the captain agree
ing to hold the vessel an hour or so
overtime. After playing two selections
while the vessel was docking, an ar
rangement was made by Mr.. Adams
with Acting Collector of Customs R.
G.. Stackable to sign bond for the
landing of band instruments.
Mr.. Alexander owen, the leader of
the Besses band for twenty-five years,
said that the band had had a splendid
season in the United States and Can
ada, playing to full houses everywhere
In New York they played at the Hip
podrome, the first audience comprising
5000 people A great wreath was pre-
sented to Mr.. Owen on the stage by
New York musicians. In Washington
they We're quite successful, but were
disappointed because the President
had lust left for Panama. They play
ed in all the large cities west and In
Northwest Canada. The band goes to
the opening of the New Zealand Ex-
position at Christchurch and after
long tour throughout Australia Will
continue around the world.
How did the band get its nameE
said Director Owen in reply to ques-
Sion 'Well, a couple of hundred years
ago there was little place in Lanca-
shire with a toll-gate, a keeper and
nl1arC fire.
quently asked Elizabeth. who was gen
orally in charge of the gate, where they
could get refreshment for themselves
and their horses. She directed them
here and there, but the requests be-
came so numerous that the toll-keeper
finally turned one of his barns into a
sort of tavern. People referred to Eliz-
abeth familiarly as Bessie and finally
when one traveller would tell another
about the opportunities for refresh
ments along the way. he would say it
could be procured at Besses o. Tn
Barn and so the little stopping place
became known and remains so known
to the present day. The band MEM
bers are recruited entirely from that
little place"
There are various stories of the
origin of the name
The earliest mention of Besses o tn
Barn takes US to within nine years of
the hanging of Dick Turpin at York,
when in a newspaper dated January,
1747, an advertisement appeared con-
vening a meeting of creditors at
"Bessy's o tn Barn This hosiery
was of barn-like appearance and was
kept by a good-Iooking Lancashire lass
called "Bess o# Bessie" and as the
inn became a noted house of call the
remark would often be "let US so and
see Bessie at tn Barn
Another legend presumably was to
this effect: A noted highwayman (gen-

BUTTER PRICE IS
TO GO UP TO-DAY

Butter is going up in price On
Saturday a popular brand of California
butter sold at 40 cents a pound. Today
it will be 45 cents, all grocers handling
it agreeing to put the price up. This
is explained as being due to a raise
in the price on the Coast. where the,
demand for butter is extensive. A
local hotel imported a sample lot OF
butter from New Zealand recently. 1t
is said to be a superior article to the
general California brand

orally supposed to be Dick Turpin) was
in the habit of stabling his steed in
the old barn which stood at the square
in front of the Bosses o. tn Barn Inn.
TIE name of this gallant steed was
said to have been Black Bess or Bess
o. tn Barn, and it was from the ex-
ploits of this horse and it's rider that
the village obtained its name.
1t is unfortunate that no record ex-
lists of the actual date of the COM
mencement of the band, but we are
given to understand that when first
originated over 100 years ago, it was a
string band, which afterwards was
turned into reed band somewhere
about the year 1918, during the reign
of George Ill, and soon after the fam
Gus Battle of Waterloo. Y
AS far back as 1921 Bosses were
awarded their first prize in musical
competition, for on the 18th of July,
they were. along with numerous other
bands, engaged to play in the process
sion celebrating the Coronation OF
George ", prize was offered for the
band that should play best a piece of
it's own selection. The prize was
awarded to Bosses. who for their test
piece played God save the King"
This stands as the first introduction
to a long list of remarkable successes.
In June, 1887, on the occasion of the
Coronation of the late Queen Victoria,
the band also competed, playing on this
occasion Hail! Smiling Morn," and
We're awarded the first prize.
The year 1909 brought to the band
the crowning victory of its contesting
career-a victory, the value of which
is almost inestimable. At the great
National Championship Contest. held
annually at the Crystal Palace, Lon
don, Besses were successful in win
ming the Thousand Guinea trophy,
which carries with it for one year the
Brass Band Championship of Great
Britain and the Colonies, a position
coveted by every band under the sun.
This great and glorious victory achiev-
ed in competition against over 100 of
the best bands of this country, adds
to the brilliant career of Bosses O. tn
Barn, the greatest honor that falls to
the lot of our brass bands
During the past year, Bosses, as all
the world knows, has toured nearly
the whole of the British Isles: has been
to appear before Their
the King and Queen, and al
so carried out triumphal tour |
France in aid OF French Char-
tiles. when they had the honor of per-
forming before President Loubet, The
King was delighted with the perform
ance of the band, and the French |
President expressed his praise in |
equally fattering terms. and the band /
has a pressing invitation to return to i
France as soon as their engagements |
permit.
The visiting bandsmen visited Capitol |
Square yesterday afternoon where the
Hawaiian band was giving a concert
Director Owen met Captain Berger,
the local leader, and the two had a
ong chat over matters musical.

SENATOR SIMMONS
Wrongly CIassed as One of II White
House Democrats i'm the Senate.

An editorial in the New York World
referring to a statement that there arc
five white House Democrats" in the
Senate who would vote with the ad-
ministration on the ratification of the
Dominican treaty. mentioned the
name of Senator Simmons. When this
editorial was called 20 Senator SIM
mons attention he said: II have new
er given an intimation to any II as
to how I shall vote with reference to
this treaty: 1t is a secret matter and
1 have never spoken about the treaty
to a Republican, either in the Senate
or out. I will say, however, that all
my predictions have been against
the treaty"
Senator Simmons does not deserve
to be classed as a white House Dem
ocrat,' though there are several of
them in Congress. In the Senate there
are at least two. who are almost as
certain to vote with Republicans on
important matters as Lodge. Of Mas
sachusetts, or Scott. Of West Virginia,
and no more h~ide.bound partisans
exist in the Senate or out than these
two Statesmen. 1t is a lamentable sit
uation, but everlastincly true Wash
