fe W Band Contests-.K

.

f Thc us5cal contest of the Festival o-fB \fe Mountain and Plain and the verdict of

/ fJt' the jury composed of Dean Howell , and'§| Professers Richter and Lehman , was a-

i; i great surprise for every man who under-jP5

-

{ stood music. The rules of the contestBlL jL 1 were ahsolutely wrong and against co-

mHp

-

Ml In a contest of this kind the music

L I w must be selected by the judges and all

K 1 W bands must play the same selection-.H

.

X #3 You cannot judge very well o band when

KIN tne same co"ies with a bclection of its

V \ aPN own , practised for months before the*

m contest , for the only purpose of gettingW a nrize. The musicians must give a-

jE proof of their ability by playing a new! J| piece , and the leaders will show theirJr, real talent and ability by the interpre-

1 tntion of something absolutely new fo-rM \ 'H - \j I suggest in the interest of music to-

ft I * do that next yea-r.V

.

/ J1*

No band in the contest was perfect byH \ \\ the standpoint of the interpretation. But

B / L' as they were not professional musiciansV \ in the contest , we cannot be very exigentH ,• i

' on that accoun-t.H

.

/ ' The best band in the contest was u-nV

-

\ $T doubtedly the McCook. The interpret-aB

-

{ * tion of the "Semiramide" of Rossini wasT j .|L' imperfect in certain particulars. In one

Bv ( 7' point , for instance , they played andante ,

H v %s while it was necessary to play allegro-

.B.

J g| But the execution was generally good ,

H S a and all instruments were absolutely andH 1 i& harmoniously in tune. The first prize

Htf H wll ) no doubt would be given to the

B | M McCook band-.HS

.

% The second band in the contest was1 <| ) Las Vegas Military baud , composed of

Hi\ only seventeen pieces. This band playedH § the overture of the "Bohemian Girl-"B \ ffi v/lt x Kreat delicacy. In the last part theB § 4fs as Vegas musicians don't give the exact

Bf p interpretation but they played absolutely

B I 1 iQ tune and in tempo-.B'J

.

,"V I Third for merit in the contest was the

B <'" Colorado Midland. The only fault of its

members was an excessive nervousness ,

I . / and I am sure the leader will agree with_ j| me on that.-

Bv.

° * ue Telluride band I would give nG

1(

prize at all. Mr. Jones , the leader ,

knows very well that what I say is the ex-

act-Lfp| | truth. The Telluride band has , per-

V.

-

. H haps , the best reputation and has , p-erRhaps

-

, the credit of being the best band_ . . But I am compelled to• t *<- judge this band by the rendition of Ros-

mini's-

'* "William Tell. " I realize thatHossini's "William Tell" is very difficultmusic. But any consideration of meriton the interpretation arid on the execu-

tion¬

of the music of the great Italiancomposer is absolutely out of order.While the Telluride band was playing ,

the flute rendered wrongly the variations

i and went out of tune and tempo , helpedin that by the first clarinet and by thebaritone , spoiling everything and caus-

ing¬

trouble to the full band. That wassufficient to deprive the Telluride bandof the prize. In another country in

France , in Italy or in Germany , for in-

stance¬

in such an occasion the bandwould be terribly hissed.

Music is the most international of all

Bi ' M ar s > au has nothing to do with patrio-tB

A New Record for Speed.Another phenomenal run was ground

out on the Union Pacific , Monday , inwhich two mail coaches of the fast mailwere brought 520 miles into CouncilBluffs in 540 minutes. Owing to theburning of a bridge at Medicine Bow ,

west of Cheyenne , the fast mail reachedthe latter part at 7:28 a. m. , instead of at2:40 a. m. , or four hours and forty-eightminutes late. In order to catch the Bur-

lington¬

fast mail east at Council Bluffs ithad to reach here before 6 p. m-

."Taking.

the two mail coaches.it startedout to make the trip. On the way therewere something like a dozen stops made ,

and there was a change of locomotives ateach division. Two minutes were lost at-

Julesburg waiting for connections , oneminute at Kearneyfive at Columbus andon the run between North Platte andGrand Island one engineer named Fred-

erickson-

was unable to maintain the fur-

ious¬

pace , inflicting a loss of five min-

utes¬

, whereupon he was supplanted atLexington by a young and huskyjengin-eer

-

named Dickinson , who regained thelost time. The train was due at CouncilBluffs at 4:45 and it reached there at5:47 p. m. , an hour and two minutes lateand with thirteen minutes to the goodfor the Burlington connection. The ac-

tual¬

running time was over a mile aminute.

All the regular stops were made andone extra , au air brake hose burst andhad to be repaired at the expense of sev-

eral¬

minutes of time. It is necessary toreach Council Bluffs for connections orpay a heavy fine to the government. Itwas a most remarkable run against time.

The most wonderful burst of speed wasshown on the hundred mile stretch be-

tween¬

Grand Island and Ames. This wascovered in ninety-three minutes actualtime. From this must be deducted fiveminutes for the delay with the brokenhose at Columbus , making the timeeighty-eight minutes , including all regu-

lar¬

stops , or more than sixty-eight milesan hour. Omaha correspondence Lin-

The Imperial Quartet.The Imperial Male Quartet and Cou-

cert company o'f Chicago will give an,entertainment in the Cougregationalchurch next Friday evening , December10th , under the auspices of the ChristianEndeavor society. Mr. J. A. Parks , thecomposer , is at the head of this com-pany

¬

, and it is highly recommended bythe church societies of Iowa and North-eastern

¬

Nebraska. Our citizens are sureof being highly entertained.

The Fremont (Neb. ) Tribune says :

"The concert given last night at theCongregational church by the ImperialQuartet was a highly enjoyable musicalevent. There was a good audience pres-ent

¬

to greet the company. It was notonly large but was likewise enthusiastic ,

and paid the performers the rare tributeof encoring the first number. The Im-

perials¬

present a varied programme thatbrings out to excellent advantage theversatility of the company. The rendi-tions

¬

of the male quartet were perhapsthe most enjoyable numbers last night ,

though the work of Mrs. Cowan , accom-ist

-

, and Mr. Tout , trombone soloist , wasof a very high order. The whistlingquartet number and the Zobo responseto the encore were novelties , the appie-ciation

-

of which was shown with thun-derous

-

applause. "

though¬

there seems to be a demand forsuch an organization here.
