This samo band was horo s yesr or so ago, and was then, a8 it [a now, the best millitary band ever organ- {zod [u this country, with tho advantago now of a longer drill, Dut thon it falled to elicit tho dogreo of publio atlontion which it deserved; this yoar, howovor, with the new advantago of asummor sonson {n New York, it waa greetod by one of the Iargeat musical audionces of tho soason, with tho prospoct of a still larger houso to-night, Anothor illustration of ths influcuco which Now York atill exorts over tho amuse- ments of tho country. Tho peoplo who attended Iast night'a concert ‘woro 8o much ploased with it as to'bocome almost greedy, and tho encoros conatituted nearly a double concort, For once oven McCormick's Iall was too small for tho sound which tho forty-fivo or fifty Lrass and rood instruments brought out, and thora woro times when somo other escape would havo beoo gratoful. But tho exciting and lusplriting offect of the brasses whon woll played was all ‘tha greater, perhaps, on this sccount, ‘This woy Earnculnrly notico- ablo in tho natlonal anthoms—tho ** Mar- seillawe ™ and * God Save tho l(mq' severally introduced in tho overturcs of “ Robosplorre " and Weber's ““Jubel.” It is tho satt of wnusio to which military bands a1o bost anited, and the *¢Jubel " ovorturo was probably tho wost artis- tle performanca of the ovouing, ‘Tho 1okt 1y, ular number, howovor, was Kontsky's desc tivo caprico, #Tho Awakening of tha Lion, whorcat tho youuy ladios wha Lave beon sccus- tomed todrum at it on the piauo opencd tholr oyos [n somothlug ke wild estonishment. Tho Ieast artistio performance of tho eventug was Liwzt's Ithapsodia Hengroiss No. 23 this was partly because it was brought iuto inunodisto contrast with Thomas' brilliaut rendoring of tho #nmo numbor, and ‘mruy Locause a largo part of tho composition is but {udifferoutly suitod to a8 band mostly made up of brasses. Mr. Gilmoro nocossarily took tho lampo much more slowly, aud failod to give the unap sod closn-qut effects of tho ‘Thomas orchestrs; wdeod, it slmost dragged 1n places,as compared to thorenderiug to which the peoplo bave becomo accustomed, In soloctions of this charactor it would Lo botter, wo think, to draw upou Bleyerbeer, and more eapacially upon that ‘composer’s brillisut fackeltaense. “Tihia may ba sald without detract- ing from the orodit doo Mr. tiilmore for provid- g wo officient aud excellont a mubilary band, which Las long beeon wantwg jo this country. ‘Tl 1aro quality of tho fustruments contributes al4o to it success.
