Selger, bass player at the Grand, whose cottage is on the water side and who Is, according to his friends, a perfect amphiblan; and J. J. Atkins. In a pretty home on Rallroad avenue lives Henry Koppitz, brother of the cele- brated opera orchestrator, George Kop- pitz. He is a sufferer from paralysis and is passing the days allotted to him in the beautiful home of his choice. The name of Theodore Voght completes the list of Alameda musiclans. He is well known on both sides of the bay, and recently conducted an Old Man’s Stnging Soclety, in which each member had to be @ years of age or over to qualify for membership. In thinking of this colony there is one question that will not down. Do they all have the same hour for practice? But then, perhaps, other Alamedans are used to it and don’t mind.
