John Philip Sousa is the bandmaster band-master of the twentieth century, and his mc'u and bis marches are showing tho world what America can do in the way of producing music and musicians. In "all hia compositions there is that dash and "spirit of liberty'-' known only to Sousa and which his band alone can" interpret in the way the composer expects them to be played. Sousa never had a betlcr drilled body of musicians' under his direction. "With faultless -precision, and yet with seeming careless ease, (he men respond to the pantomimic panto-mimic commands they understand so well. The Sousa concerts will be given at the tabernacle, Salt Luke City, on Tuesdav, November 10, at S:, with a, matinee performance in the afternoon at !!, and the assisting artists will bo Misses Frances and Urace Hoyt, sonrano aud mezzo-soprano ; Miss Florence Nard-inau, Nard-inau, violinist, and Mr. Herbert.
