MILITARY BAND Is
CENTER OF INTEREST
Before the Public for Years
Come From Indianapolis.

The band of the list infantry, l. n.
j., which accompanies Apollo COM
landery OF Chicago, is probably the
'oremost military band of the west if
not of the entire country. Although
heir instruments contemplate only
1arade work, being particularly heavy
n the brass section. their rendering of
I ballroom and concert program at the
IOmmandery reception at the Harper
house last evening was marked by alt
he delicacy of tone and expression
that might be expected from an orches-
ra.
In 1896 this band was engaged dur
ng the presidential campaign by the
cook county republican marching club
If Chicago. then one of the best known
political organizations of the kind in

claimed that every man in the band
s qualified for solo work.
