Philharmonic Society

Josef Stransky. conductor Of the
Philharmonic Society, has returned to
New York to begin rehearsals for the
coming season, one month previous to
the first concert. According to the
conductor, the reason for this unusual
amount of preparatory work is the fact
that the society plans to give more i'm
portant revivala and novelties this sea-
son than have ever appeared on pre-
Vious Philharmonic programmes. Two
new osltions which will be feat
uled carly in the season are works by

going into a spiral that sent hearts

He Strengthened up and did the same
thing over again, treating those who
viewed his fight to another gasp. His
plane, a brand new one, flashed in the

then shot over the Raritan to Parlin.
where he astounded the workers with

for South River, where he landed at

With his mechanic. Private Will

took his brother, Edwain up for a ride
and then turned off for New Bruins

tinued to Highland Park where he

The supply train. consisting of seven
trucks arrived here first and inn
mediately went to The copper works

In the squadron are the four COM

their way back to Fort Myer, Va,
their home fort. !,
The quartermaster's stores, under

supply train under Sgt. Davis went to
the copper works field Immediately
upon their arrival in the city. They
made arrangements for water and
forage for the horses and chose the
various places where tents and pick
ct lines would be placed.
The squadron camped last night at
Fort Wadsworth in barracks there.
They were called out on fire call early
this morning when the fare from the
South Beach fire woke them. The
men were sent over to South Beach
where they assisted in putting out the
blaze.
The band boasts three Perth AM
boyans. Howard Johnson of Oak

Most of the men are Southerners
though there are others from every
section of the country.
From this city the squadron will
leave tomorrow morning for Prospect
Plains where they will camp tomor-
row night.
