Fifty Thousand People Listen to the Musi- cal Program. ‘The Great Chorus and the U. 8. Marin Band—Mr. Hanford’s Recitation— Great Enthusiasm. Fully 50,000 people, people of all ages, sizes and nationalities, congregated in the grounds on the east front of the Capitol last night to hear the grand chorus of 1,500 voices. Shortly after 5 o'clock the crowd commenced to gather, and when Prof. Gib- son, promptly at 6 o'clock, struck the ‘first note on the chimes the Capitol xrounds were one mass of moving people. Rein-/ forcements continued to arrive, and at 7| o'clock, the hour appoinced for the chorus to begin singing, the entire plaza in front of the immense building, an some distance outside of the grounds, was packed so com- pletely with humanity that one could, with Uttle difficulty, have walked on heads from the steps on the east front to the Green- ough statue, without the slightest darger of a fall. Delay fn Commencing. Owing to the fact that the general pub- lic crowded into the stand reserved for the singers, and the process of weeding them out taking considerable time, it was after 8 before the first notes of the grand march, as rendered by the Marine Band, floated out on the air. “The Heavens Are Telling” was sung by the chorus, accompanied by the band, and as the last notes ‘Med away a mighty shout went up from the vast au- dience. The overture from “Sem‘ramide” was next played by the Marine Band, after which “Home, Sweet Home,’ that’ most plaintive and ‘ever-appealing melody, was sung in grand and effective style by the chorus under the leadersaip cf Assistant Director John P. Lawrenze, who, by the masterly manner in which he bandied the large chorus and band, showed himself to be a thorough musician. Probably the sweetest instrumental velec-ion on the pro- gram, “Monastery Bells,” then followed, and in its rendition the Marine Band made many friends, if the mighty outburst of ap- plause whi followed can be taken as a eriterton to judge by. A Mighty Wave of Melody. ‘The chorus next sang the “Coronation” hymn, and at the special request of Mr. Cloward the entire audience joined in. Never before, and probably never again, will such muste oe heard in Washington. In all that vast crowd no discord could be detected, and as the singers sxaimed cour- age and entered iato the singing witn more spirit, the heavens fairly appeared to shake with the mighty wave of melody. This number was sung withou: accompani- ment, and demonstrated perfectly the ex- cellent balance as to parts u* the great chorus, and the thorough drilling it had received. Next followed “& ‘Trip to Manhettan Beach,” a descriptive selection rendered ty the band. “Hail Coiumbla” was next sung by the chorus, and was followed ty a rather amusing Gescriptive piece by the band, entitled “In the Clock Store.” Mr. Hanford’s Recitation. ‘Then came one of the principal features of the evening, the ever-popular Mr. Chas. B. Hanford, in his recitation, “The Star Spangled Banner.” The ‘familiar words were given with a distinctness of enuncia- tion and a vigor of utterance that enabled Mr. Hanford’s voice to he ciearly heard even to the outer edge of “he vast assemblage, and his effort was certainly an elocutlonary triumph. The crowd fairly went wiid with enthusiasm, and when, immediately after, the chorus struck up “The Star Spangled Banner,” hats were thrown into the air, and for a moment even the voices of the immense chorus were drowncl This only lasted for a short while, and in a few mo- ments the audience had caught the spirit of the music and again joined in the sing- ing. The audiense was now a thoroughly good humored one. and after “A Trip to Slars,"" by the Mariue Band. the people dts- persed to their homes; not, however, be- fore delivering several lusty cheers in token of their appreciation of the efforts of the music comzaittee. During the weeding out process in the space reserved for the chorus, in the early part of the evening, Maj Briscoe of the committee on comfort, and Messrs. Weller, Smith, Scaggs, and «thers of the general order ‘committee, rendeted most valuable service in securing seats in the congres- sional stand for those who were torced to vaeate the central or music stand. ‘The Mlamination. ‘The illumination of the east front of the Capitol last night was a thing of beauty and was greatly admired by the immense throng that gathered to listen to the con- cert. The arrangement of the lights was artistic and the effect was sufficiently bril- lant to enable the chorus and musicians to distinctly see their music, which was a good test. The success of the illumination Was due to the active efforts of Messrs. A. B. Claxton and W. F. Hart of the filumina- Uon committee, who designed It and person- ally superintended all the details. Notes of the Day. That Professor Cloward’s work in organ- izing and drilliag the chorus was thorough- ly appreciated by the gencral co:nmittee is evidenced by the preseatation to him of a handsome solid silver souvenir wadge, on the ribbon of which was :nscribed “irector of the Chorus,” in letters of gold. This was given to him Sunday afternoon by Chairman Gariuer, in behalf of the com- mittee, and was prowdiy worn by the pro- fessor during the exercises yerterday. Secretary Lamont was unable to attend the ceremonies yesterday. The War Depart- ment was represented, however, by Gen. Schofield. s A very pleasing incident of the parade was the salute given the fire companies by two hook and ladder companies which were stationed at the corner of 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue. As the fire compa- nies passed that point the bells on the trucks were sounded, and, together with the response of the different companies, was mingled the applause of the large crowd that thronged the streets in that vicinity. ‘The engine and hose carriage of the Hy- draulion company from Alexandria, which were tastefully and handsomely decorated and drawn by magnificent black horses, were the subject of much praise during the course of the parade. Accompanying the Hydraulion company was a young boy not more than ten years, who tramped along like a veteran and wore the uniform of the company. ‘The carriage drawn by the Hrookiyn. vet- erans was a beautiful piece of mechanism and was greatly admired along the route. ‘The members of this organization are ali “old timers,” no one being under the age of fifty years.” Each one, too, has the distinc- tion of having been honorably discharged in 1869, after having been engaged in the volunteer service for five or more years. ‘A dog, rushing wildly up and down the avenue between 4 1-2 and 6th streets, the ery of “Mad dog™ set up by the crowd on the sidewalk succee td in causing no Uttle confusion for a few minutes among those taking part in the para‘le. After the rear of the procession had en- tered the Capitol grounds, the cable cars again commenced to run, ani for cbout 2 half an hour, two lines of cabl2 cars could be seen on the avenue from the Capitol to the treasury butiding, with hardly six feet between each train.

Centen- i 9% “In the Clock Store.” States Marine Band. | Synopsis: The apprentice opens the store in the morning and winds up the different clocks, the ticking of which is illustrated by the music, and which gradually develops into a musical tmitation of a clock store. |The cuckoo clock strikes the hour, after wh the deep sound of another clock is | heard. The alarm clock then brings a mer- ‘ry rattle, followed by the striking of another | United clock in harmony with the music. The ap- Prentice then whistles a little tune. After this the clock that contains the chimes gradually runs down and stops. The boy winds it up again, and then the miniature chimes of a Scotch cathedral are heard in the distance. Now that all the clocks are in running order—the apprentice looks after his other work, and we leave the clock store. 10, Recitation, “The Star Spangled Ban- ner"—Key, Mr. Charles B. Hanford. U1.

Off they go, the accompanying brass band playing “In the Sweet Bye and Bye,” they land and are recetved with cheers of welcome by the men and women of Mars, represented by bass and treble instruments alternating. Mars gives the visitors a specimen of their warlike music, after which they ask for the latest classical com- position from the young world, and are greeted with a modest rendering of “Ta Ta ra Boom de ra.” Frowns and scowls on the faces of the Marses cause the visitors to make a hurried skedaddle to the strains of “Up in a Balloon,” flying round by the way of the north pole, where they are en- tertained by a Polar bear dance, after Which they make a rapid descent on “Home, Sweet Home. pS THE NEW ST.
