of the great composers.
There seems little use in attempting to
divide and deal out the laurels after Sun
days performance. They fall where they
list. A number of the numbers of the
band were absolutely raw material when
they came under Professor Reichkitzers
direction, and what he has done for them
may be seen from the unquestionable sue
cess of the concert. Much credit is due
all round. Nor should Warden J. J. Sulli-
van, whose authority and assistance made
possible the afternoons entertainment, be
forgotten. Many thanks are due him and
his deputies from both the public and the
Pierian Chautauqua Circle members, and
the appreciation of the latter body is free
ly made known.
The Circle also owes a debt of graft
tude to Professor r. J. Reichkitzer for his
untiring energy and voluntary cooperation
in so ably arranging and artistically pre-
senting the concert program. Mr.. ]. O.
Tally is to be thanked as well for the
refreshments which were served to the
band and Circle members at the close of
the entertainment. The coffee, to repeat
remark overheard, was "larrupin' good"
And lastly, in appreciative regard for the
individual entertainers and the members
of the prison band as individuals, it is
hoped that they received as much pleasure
and as great a satisfaction from their ef-
forts as did the audience who, however
they came to be enlightened, went away
highly entertained.
