.ALDEKS BAND SETS
 NEW MUSIC STANDARD

Through it's concert on Sunday at Riverside park, Alden's concert band set new standard of excellency, and rendered what was perhaps the most artistic concert since it's organiZ1- ton. The program was an especial ly selected one by Conductor Alden, and put up to the band as a sort Of test concert. It goes without saying that he was highly pleased with the result.
 The rendition of "The Dances of demonstrated the result of careful and conscientious practice. coupled | with the determination to win. It | is a selection that is seldom attempt 1 ed outside of the largest bands, for much of the artistry depends on the volume. but the boys made up for the lack of numbers by a most fin ished presentation, and the applause was uproarious at it's conclusion. 1 Hardly had the demonstration of approval died down before the sweet tones of the clarinet were heard. and the audience prepared themselves for I SOiHtlllIlS out Ol tllt OI ic l something was a beautiful clarinet | duet by Messrs. Porter and Thomp- son. These two gentlemen are well known clarinet players, and were perfectly at home in this selection. | Two Little Bullfinches" was the ve- hicle. and the name indicates the possibilities. It proved a most dainty composition, extremely novel in it's effect, and while most difficult of l e -ecution, was rendered in great style Porter and Thompson both are to be congratulated
 Victor Herbert's compositions are
 always a welcome feature on any
 musical program, and when the op
 ening strains of his famous Red
 Mill' were played, it was plainly evil
 dent that Alden had struck a respon
 sive chord in his audience. It is a
 beautiful operatic score and when
 rendered as it was Sunday proves a
 decided hit.
 Another feature that is not often
 heard in band work was brought out
 in The Chapel Chimes" The reed
 instruments in this selection are al
 most wholly responsible for the sue cess or failure of the number. The
 chimes limitations here were beauti ful, and too much credit cannot be given the boys for their excellent work There were times in this se lection when the full band was heard,
 and then softly dying out till the
 reed limitations of the chimes only were left, the effect was most artis-
 tic
 The ever popular rag time came in
 for its share of attention, and dur
 ing the rendition of Tickle the Ivor- l ies" more than one pair of feet were
 seen to move most suspiciously.
 The band has made steady i'm
 provement since it's start and the r Sunday concert was really treat.
 Manager Alden states that this is , but the beginning, and that the line of work that he has planned for the coming season will place the band among the finest musical organiza '. , tions in this section of the country.
 The boys are all heartily in favor of
 the band artistic" and if good hard work will bring the result, 1t is as- l sured

The party consists of Mir and Mrs. Frank Dowdle, their son Dewey and Miss Belva Birdno-all of Saf- ford. They have toured the state this summer, and were just ending their visit to the Grand Canyon.
