ADJUSTMENTS.
The Sous. Concerts.

Sousa gave two delightful concerts at the Jefferson yesterday. Never did the famous bandmaster present finer pro- grammes. Both contained numbers of high artistic value and the more ambi- tious works were as much enjoyed by the average theatregoer as the lighter and more familiar pieces. Sousas band was always distinguished for the musieianly quality of it's individual performers and for perfect ensemble work, but on this occasion it fairly surpassed itself.
 At the afternoon ceneert the programme opened with Liszt's symphonic poem, Les Preludes.'' work that finds its way on grand orchestra bills as often, perhaps, as any high class composition, but yesterday was the first time it had been heard in Birmingham on a reed band It received artistic treatment from beginning to end and it's wealth and va riety of tone color could not have been more beautifully brought out. Rubin stein's nocturne- "Kammenoi Ostrow, re- ligious and reminiscent, was another favorite Following this were Chadwick s "Jubileen from his symphonic sketches; AOudafuS $ Idy1lp fau-ffbSe eotdi -IuiioA Hi and plaintive; Sousas s new march, Pow hatan's Daughter" and Sousa's mosaic, Free Lance" Higher up on the pro- gramme was sousas ''Three Quotations" :"
 The soloists wer Herbert L. Clarke, cornet; Miss Lucy Allen, soprano and Miss Jaennette Powers. violin Each was well received Miss Powers is young, but her tone is matured and her technique clean and smooth. She played an 'Adagio and Moto Perpetuum,'' by Ries and for an encore, Chopins E fiat nocturne.
 The night programme follows:
 Overture. Kaiser (Westmeyer).
 Cornet solo, Rondo Caprice, new (Clarke) Herbert L. Clarke.
 Suite ''The Last Days of Pompeif' (Sousa)
 Soprano solo, "Roberts' (Meyerbeer), Miss Lucy Allen.
 Till Enienspiegels Merry Franks (R. Strauss).
 Suite, Peer Gynt' CGrieg).
 (a) Humoresque (Dvorak.
 (b) March, ."Powhatan's Daughter" (Sousa)
 Violin solo, Caprice, "slav' (Geloso), Miss Jeannette Powers.
 Ride of the Valkyries (Wagner).
 It was a tone banquet indeed The Peer Gynt" suite was read and rendered with singularly artistic effect and Dvorak's s "Humoresque," arranged for the band by MT. Sousa, was one of the choicest gems of the evening.
 For her encores Miss Powers played Schubert's "Serenade'' and a well known and popular dance
 Both concerts were attended by large and enthusiastic audiences.
