THREE BANDS FOR
Boys CONFERENCE
PARADE FRIDAY

Because of the size OF the parade
of Friday evening of this week, when
1t is expected that close to 500 boys
in attendance at the 18th Maine
Boys Conference in this city, will
parade from the Y. NJ. G. A. build
ing to City Hall for the first big ban
quet and mass meeting of the con-
vention program, the local commit
tee has deemed it necessary to divide
the parade into three sections, and a
band will be in the line of march at
the head of each of the sections.
The Fairfield Boys Band of 80
pieces has already been secured as
has the Salvation Army band of this
city. To lead the third section, it
was announced yesterday. the new
ly organized Augusta Military Band
of 20 pieces has been contracted for.
This band unit is composed of local
PLAYERS. about one half of them are
high school boys, and as the boys
parade on Friday, will mark their
first public appearance. it is expect
ed that they will provide an attrac-
ton themselves. The band is under
the leadership of Leon o. Douglas
and will besides it's twenty musicians
have real drum major.
Captain Harold l.. Miller. Chief of
the enforcement division of the State
Highway Department is the grand
marshal of this feature of the Con-
Terence program. and will be assisted
by three experienced aides.

In several ways the third and final
public rehearsal of the fourth season
Of the Augusta Symphony Orchestra,
at the Opera House, Sunday evening
was the finest of its history. The
theatre was called upon to accommo-
date the greatest crowd of people
who have ever sought entrance to
the building for any kind of an en-
tertainment The first number of
Sunday evenings program was the
march, 'Miliatire," composed by an
Augusta girl, Miss Alice Benedict
Goodrich, and as interpreted by the
Symphony, proved one Of the big hits
of an exceptional program. eliciting
salvo after salvo of appreciative APP
plause from the vast audience. The
soloist for the evening was Nine.
Antonio \. Landry. also claimed now
as one of the Capital City's own, and
her rendition of two numbers. was
one of the most enjoyable features of
its nature which Augusta audiences
have been privileged to hear for a
long time. And the orchestra. under
the direction of Ernest r. Hill, seem
ed TO be at its very best, and their
program was presented with all the
finish of a great Symphony combina-
ton. whose only effort was to that
end.
The program of Sunday evening
was perhaps the most varied and in
many ways ambitious of the entire
group which have been heard with
much pleasure by our Augusta citi-
zers. The very attendance at the
entertainment last evening was q
glowing tribute to the popularity of
these musical entertainments, and
plainly evidenced the apprecia ton of
the efforts of the musicians in the
! orchestra, by the people of this COM
munity. Before eight o'clock several
hundred people had found it impos-
Slblc to obtain oven standing room
in the theatre, and all through the
program which started at SIS the
stair landings outside the theatre
We're crowded with listeners. En-
thus.asts occupied the orchestra pit,
hlied the stage boxes to overlooking,
ana some two score found places in
the wings of the stage itself, to en-
JOY the program by the Symphony.
The march number by Miss Good
ridge proved a splendid piece as
played by the Symphony Orchestra
with great swing and measure that
set the feet tapping in all parts of
the theatre. The march also has
Sprlghtly passages which are
triumphant in their scoring. and
convey the impression of great vic
tory professional rather than of any
ordinary march movement.
The "Abu Hassan" Overture by
Won Weber was well received, as was
the Fantasia on Russian Airs" by
Moses-Tobani, but perhaps the most
popular numbers in the latter pro-
gram were the Dagger Dance" from
"Natoma," by Victor Herbert and
the descriptive number, Cavalry
Charge" by Fustav Luders. The
former called all the Instruments of
the orchestra into play and was
heavily sometimes almost tediously
accented throughout by the strong
throb of it's measure. This piece
ended with a spectacular and start
linS final bar, which left the aud
fence breathless for an instant be-
fore the spontaneous applause.

Men of Many Countries

Paraguay has long been a favorite
refuge for men from other climes

better with many miles between
them and their native countries.

and noblest houses in Prussia. On
the wall of his mud-floored hut
hangs an affectionately autographed
photograph of Wilhelm II. The
Boran. like his Paraguayan wife and
children, goes barefoot habitually,
yet clings to a monocle, last rem
nant of his vanished splendor.

camp is the brother of the royal
equerry of a Scandinavian king. His
story includes a duel with a semi
royal scion over the affections of a
girl. OF his Viking-like strength
and beauty. cana. native rum. is
slowly robbing him.
An American ex-cowboy has been
more fortunate. He claims to have
once been a member of the Texas
Rangers. but it is commonly thought
that he had been about two jumps
ahead of the Rangers" At any rate
Paraguay seems to agree with his
health, and his knowledge of the
cattle game and lightning ability
with a revolver have stood him in
good stead.
At the end of the Civil War GER
