Thursday night the band played for hours, to a
large and sincerely appreciative audience. While It

of the long and very rich program As these airs foated
up to the mezzanine floor and into the dining room
the guests listened attentively and aPplauded with
enthusiasm.
There present not few FL Pasoans whose
memories reach back the times when music like this
hoated in the air of FL Pasc and Juarez every night
when the Mexican bands played either side Of the
river, when complimentary concerts by the military
bands were common on this side when all through
the Mexican quarters this side and all through
Juarez, any time of day night could hear the
strains Of the gentle strnged instruments with the
flute and clarinet and occasionally the saxophone

were often heard then

morning, OF 8, and hear the tinkle and whisper Of
sweet music in the distance drawing nearer until 1t

The five years have been nightmare. There have
been few on either side of the line, who have
held to the old Ideals the old friendships There have

when Americans and Mexicans got together for a

principal guests of honor Gen. Pershing of the
United States army, and Gen ObregOn of Mexico other

evening It very large musical organization, and
it played with marvellous skill and power all sorts of
compositions ranging from Wagner and Tschakowsi
to the simplest little Spanish love songs Under the
sl1ful direction of its leader it shaded with exquisite
deicacy the pianissimo passages, and rose to
whelming climaxes Of harmonic sound with crash and
blare that made the building shake. Only few of
the band members were uniformed. Many of the mem
