It was, indeed, a Sousa audience that filled every seat and occupied the standing room on the first two floors four and five rows deep, and the manner in which Mr. Haley's efforts were received removed all doubt as to his standing in the popular mind. Tne band made a fine ap- pearance in {ts new uniforms. The concert demonstrated that Washington can and wili support a local musical organization when {t has the requisite merit. Viewed from the musician's standpoint the work of the band was about all that could be desired. It played the various numbers which made up the program—and many more that were demanded as encores and double encores— with spirit and finish, showing an extraor- dinary amount of skill in the more delicate Passages and bringing out a full yoiume of tone in the catchy march music given. Mr. Haley showed his excellent control over his men in many ways, every number showing the results of careful und faithful re- hearsals under the direction of a thorough- ly Competent leader. Some of the more piea: ing numbers ‘on the program were a new overture by Gomez, “Guaranny;” a sympo- sium of airs from Offenbach’s operas, a se- jection from “The Huguenots” and Bosquet’s waltz, “pouvenir of Baden.” A feauue of the “evening was the new march, “Pride of the Regiment,” written by Mr. Haina, the accomplished cornetist of the band, who did some plendid work during the course of the evening in band solo pas. sages, and dedicated to Major Urell District of Columbia volunteers, wh present in the audience. This number was enthusiastically redeman ed. Mr. Haley Ss Very geuerous with his encores, giving marches ‘and characteristics, although hardly to the full satisfaction of the audi- ence even then. In fact, although the orig- inal program consisted of but twelve num- bers, before the evening was concluded the band_had played nearer twenty than a doz- en. The last™band number was “The Star Spangled Banner,” and every in the one audience arose during its rendition. The band was assisted by the Philharmonte Club of twenty voices and the Philharmonic Quartet. Two solos and choruses were given by the club, the first one, the “In: flammatus’’ from Rossini’s “Stabat Mate sung by Miss kannie Atlee, soprano, and the second, “Lonely Appe “The Redemption,’ Mrs. as the soloist.

Judge Scott Believes New One Shoutd Re Built. Commissioner Wight and Representative Bingham visited the Police Court Saturday afternoon to look over the adjacent prop- erty, which it is desired shall be purchased at a price of $18,000 in order to avoid the payment of rent for the ground. Judge Kimbal’ favors making the purchase, while Judge Scott opposes it. It is Judge Scott's idea that the Police Court building is un- safe, and he thinks a new one is needed. It is likely that he will make an effort to POLICE secure an appropriation for a new struc- ture in the near future. The present build- ing he thinks is large enough, but a more substantial one should be built, and one that is more suitable to the uses of the court. The building is the result of alterations and additions to an old chureh, and Judge Scott thinks it is not at ail suitable for court: purpos SS The Y. M. C. H.
