Gray, extended an invitation to all officers and members of the Gray Invincibles to visit his place and receive tonsorial attention at any time during their stay in the city, free of charge, which elicited cheers for Capt. Gray. Ranks were then broken, the tired soldiers laid aside their burdens and equipments, meanwhile the deft bands of the attendant ladies had filled each table with good things, and every man proceeded speedily — to place | himself on the outside of a sub- staneial breakfast, while down stairs in the room set aside for that purpose the officers did likewise, after which every one went their own several ways in search of amusement or entertainment. At three p.m., all reassembled, aud line was formed on O street in front the High schoof in the following order: The Washington Cadet Cornet Band, the staff of the Wasb- ington Cadet Corps, Co’s. A, C, D and B, and the Non Com’d. staff of the Washington Cadet Corps, the Liberty Band of West Chester, Pa.,the staff of the Gray Invincibles, Co’s. Aand B of the Gray Invincibles. After forming the line, Capt. Malvin, who stood as Adjutant, turned the command over to Major Fleetwood, and inside of thirty seconds thereafter, they were headed down 7th st., with bands playing, cclors flying, and people cheering. Arriving at the Treasury De- partment, were both photographed together from the South front steps, and then marcbed ou to the Arling- ton Hotel. Gen. Ordway had accept- ed an invitation for self and staff to review the troops at this point, but was compelled to leave the city at llo’clockon the morning of the parade, and sent a letter regretting his inability to keep his engage- ment. The exercises were accord- mgly changed to dress parade under Major Fleetwood. The place about the Arlington was packed with thousands of bystanders and | onlookers, and but for the courtesy of Colonel Wm, G.

I paid my fifty cents, I got a dollars worth of music, and left before the concert closed. “Hine ulae Kickimus.” My first disappointment was from the small attendance. Washington has a music loving people, appre- ciative of good things and seeking after novelties. Any proper pre- sentation of the claims of this really excellent orchestra sbou!d bave produced better resnits. Tae management at this end Was uns doubtedly a mis-management and « lost opportunity. Next, The programme. (I must pause here to say that its typographical ap- pearance was excellent.) One glance at it was enough to give one the horrors. Twenty-five numbers! Five of them the over+ tures to as many operas,—as many Marches,—The Heavens are telling “Ussa on Pelion piled”! I wanted to run. I stayed, and enjoyed it, to the worth of my money, aud left satisfied, with the pieces I heard but not otherwise. Still as to the programme: This concert was advertised to be educational. It occurred to me as I listened as never before, that it would be better not to know so much than to kuow so “many things that are not so.” The manager of concert should stick to his programme, especially if he is an “educator.” The illus- trator of an educational book who would print and bind pictures of say twenty-five animals on sepa~ rate slips, shake them up in a hat and paste them on wherever he happened to hit could not well be called “an educator,” yet this was precisely the method followed in this case. None but those thoroughly educated or thorough- ly familiar with current music could locate a piece. In music the name avd sound remain joined as He will fleave there for Detroit, | the Metropolitan church, hearing a tempting lunch ofsardines, crack- assistance of stomachs and _haver- was an almost entire absence of attempt at shading except by the artist in the bass drum, who did seem tu have a conscientious idea of his work. None of them at first appeared to pay much, if any, attention to the conductor, vor did be appear to except it. He stood and played with bis baton i+ a perfunctory sort of manner with his nose on his music, and general ly with his back to his orchestra. A feat which Thomas never at- tempted, and it was not a brilliant success. « In the first number the opening was simply villainous, the conduc. tor was either unacquainted with’ the peice entirely, or incapable of holding his men. The lady organist came gallantly to the rescue, pulled out several loud stops, jumped on the pedals with both feet, rattled reeds and rolled -disposons around their immortal souls until she fairly dragooned the whole business into order and harmony, when she quietly fell back into an accomponiste. She is great. I trust they may return at some future day, properly her- alded, and receive the patronage they justly deserve. Itisa source of regret that so many music lovers missed eujoying, uncritical- ly, this fine treat, and with just one half of the numbers it would have made twice as good an im- pression. All of the remaining numbers were well rendered sub- ject to the criticism above. I enjoyed it much, would have gone the second night but for lack of time, but still had grounds to be a Kicker.

In the absence of the dean, Prof. Leighton, Prof. Birney was intro- duced by Prof. Smith, the secre- tary, and delivered some pointed facts to the students. Prof. Thomas and also Prof. Smith spoke brietly to the students of what they may ex- pect, and how to become successful lawyers. A class association was pertected with the following ofticers; W.
