people were outspoken in their COM
mendation of the good order and the
magnifcence of the display. Never in
. the history of the city has the recipro-
cal relationship between the white and
colored people been so prominently
displayed.
A remarkable spectacle took place
Monday night, when the famous
Monarch Band through previous ar
rangement of its manager staged
serenade of the Richmond News
Leader. For an hour a crowd packed
and jammed 4th street from Broad to
Franklin street. So dense was the
mass of people, that the music could
not be heard block and half away,
due primarily to the fact that the
band was in an offset in the building
and the music was deadened except to
those in the immediate vicinity.
DR.. Douglas Freeman, the brilliant
editor, and Col. Allan Potts were so
much impressed by the renditiOns that
they insisted upon another recital or
serenade for the benefit of the public
in general and the News-Leader's
readers in particular on either We'd
nesday or Thursday nights and an
nounced that a special stand on the
adjoining lot would be built for the
purpose. This was done and We'd
nesday night was selected. Some peo-
pie say that approximately 25,000 peo-
pie crowded into the limited space to
hear the music. The time was We'd
nesday night at o'clock.
The spacious stand was brilliantly
Illuminated with electric lights and
leader and director, Frederick W.
Simpson, smiled broadly as he gazed
out upon that ocean of faces of white
and colored folks from the point in
front, where he welded his small mu-
sical baton and later turned to look
for the remainder of the evening upon
his picked musical talent that watched
his every movement and obeyed every
sign or motion with the clock-work
regularity of individuals, who appear
ed t ODE more than human.
No such sight has ever been seen IN
this city. After he had rendered a
chosen selection of inconceivable pre-
pared musical productions and had en-
raptured this immense concourse of
people and hundreds of others, who
were at the windows of the high sky

Wilbur Says
Navy "Ouerjoyed"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-P)-
"overjoyed," was the way Secretary
Wilbur described the emotions of the
navy today over the rescue Of the
PN.9 No. 1 and her crew.
I'VE are overjoyed," he said, that
the gallant officers and crew have been
saved, not only from the personal
standpoint which appeals to all Of US
in the department who are acquainted
with Commander Rodgers and his
crew, but also because they will be
able 10 make a report which will be Of
great value 10 the service.
I'VE feel that it is too early TO say
much Of the lessons to be learned from
the flight, but it is obvious that the
metal boat had staying qualities even
beyond the anticipation Of those inter
ested in its development.
The fact that the flying boat was
adrift nearly ten days emphasizes the
Importance Of the selection of Com.
mander Rodgers, who is a splendid
navigator and an excellent seaman.
