The excellence of the first open-air con-
cert of the season given on the common
last night by the First Regiment band
was out of all proportion to the applause
which ii received. The audience was big
enough to have expressed its appreCia-
ton in unmistakable tones but the cold
weather or something else got into the
applauding apparatus of the crowd and
the clapping was half-hearted and lacked
spontaneity Good, genuine enthusiasm
over a well played selection not only
helps the players to do the best that is
in them but it wakes up the crowd and
makes them enjoy the music twice as
much. 1t was not that the people did not
like the music, for every opinion heard
was expressive of appreciation and en-
jOyment in the concert. The program was
an excellent one and the way in which
it was rendered was deserving of all the
good things which were said about it af-
forwards where the players could not
hear. Carl Leitslnger's cornet solo,
columbia Fantasia Polka" came the
nearest to creating real enthusiasm of
any number and his encore took about as
well. The overture, "Stradella," "A Day
in Camp" and Cherry" were among the
favorites.
