Concerts in the Rotunda

Two fine concerts were given in the
rotunda of the Capitol this morning
and since the famous orchestra of
Theodore Thomas played on the occa-
sion of the dedication of the Capitol
seven years ago there has not been
larger or more appreciative audience
or a more popular program rendered.
The Liberty band, of Hazleton,
which accompanied the Pioneer Fire
Company, of Hazleton, to this city,
gave the first concert and at the first
notes of Robin Adair,' played most
exquisitely hundreds of visitors who
were going through the big building
hocked to the galleries and the various
departments were at once emptied of
their clerical forces, the crowd being
so large that every foot of space was
taken. The Liberty band is an old or
ganization and during the Civil war
was attached to the 47th regiment of
Pennsylvania volunteers. Prof. J. +.
Autmiller is the leader, and his father
led the band during the war.
The Spring City band of Chester
county, accompanying the Liberty Fire
Company, also gave most delightful
concert to another large audience and
was frequently encOred.
