game and if he had been well supported
not over five hits would have been made
off him, some of the safe drives coming
after there had been chances to retire

Brattleboro's outfielders made a rank
muff. Kelley's work at short stop was
meritorious and his three Dagger was a

.TUSKEGEE BAND WINS

Atlanta, Feb. I3-The sensation of

afternoon when so soldIer-like youths
from Iuskegee Institute, compris-

men, headed by the Chief himself,
could scarcely open the way for the
band to pass.
Out in the street, hailed everywhere
by There they come; there they

A special arrangement of this tune
still so dear to the Southern hearts
had been made by the Tuskegee Band
master, Capt. n. Clark Smith, who
had been forced to lead the procession
mounted in carriage drawn by four
white horses. When the band struck

their hats IN the air, and then slyly

band, screamed and whistled and
shouted to a point of madness. Along
the streets business was suspended.

William Tel.


The climax came III the bands rem
dition of the William Tell Overture.
This was the critical point, as Gre
atore had played the same selection
but a few days previous; but at the
rendition by the Tuskegee band the
audience thundered it applause, such
as has been seldom witnessed in this
city. Although the playing of the
TuSkegee band was remarkably good
from the beginning of the program,
said the Constitution Saturday morn
ing, the full extent of its ability was
not realized until it had rendered the
William Tell Overture. The finish and
precision with which the selection was
given cannot but reflect great credit
upon Capt. n. Clark Smith, the Band
master
As for the colored people, they were
everywhere swept from their feet.
They had suffered a bit of Jim Crow
ing when Creatore's band came, and
Ito have their band score such a tri-
umph thrilled them beyond control.
NO such race pride has been rampant
here since Booker T. Washington 5
speech IS years ago. As the founder
OF IuSkegee Institute was then pick
ed as a leader, SO now his band IS
lauded with these words by the At
Ianta papers: The musical gift of the
Negro race was never better exem-
plihed in this city than by the finished
concert rendered by the 5o-odd stu
dents of Booker T. Washington's in
stitutiOn."
That the white papers should say
this Is the more remarkable, since
the band attempted to play the Will
lam Tell Overture. There was much
misgiving a. % how they would re-
