Ach Louie, Speil Eins

Never before since the memory of nan runneth not to the contrary was Aere such a crowd assembled on the streets as there was last night. There svere young heads, old heads, gray tieads, block heads and tha city's jrowned head, making a total of 1,500 heads, which oomprised the multitude who came out to listen to the Washtenaw Evening Times band. They came from all parts of the city, on foot, on horseback, on bicycles and in vehicles and those that couldn't ocme didn't come at all. The ice cream pariors had an extra supply, the postoffice was out in full force, all the bicycles in town were rented, Barnum's auctioneer did $200.41 extra business, rap games were closed up in the First ward and the juveniles had the best time in their lives. It stirred the blood of the musicloving public as it i.id also that of those whose talent is most cormant. Justice Childs had a gallery seat in a highseated buggy, David B. Dodge forgot his bed hour (.9 p. m.) had arrived and stayed later; Charlie Sweel, who has been a pupil in music until a week ago, forgot his bicycle and listened; Fred Johnson and the Lewises forgot, for a while, the Highland park races; Harvey Lepper, professor of the Regina music box, listened to every piece the Times band played, and every store mig-ht have been entered in the rear and robbed before anyone would have known it, so intensely was everymie interested. The Times band came down on the 7:10 car and by the courtesy of intendent Robert Hempnül were given an open car. When they left Arm Arbor they were in charge of L. J. Lisemer and Seward Cramer, of the Times, and upan arriving at Congress st. they were met by Mr. Hernphill and thp Ypsilanti end of the Times. Mr. : hill had them board the open car and i the Fifth ward was treated to sume music as the car went out and back. ■ For an hour the band play?á in the open car which stood on the corner oí Washington and Congress sts. Everybody was jolly, and Aid. Huston, who wants to be register of deeds, sent down ' a request for the band to play "Thore'H be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," for the benefit of his ward. Before leaving they marched down to H. P. Glover's house and played a few pieces before leaving for Ain Arbor on the 10:20 car. The Times band has been in existence for three years and ranks among the best bands in the state. Those who heard the music last year and again last night were loud in thMr praise of improvement. They make a very pretty apeparance, with their red coats and caps to set off their healthy young faces. Mr. Louis Otto, the leader1, can certainly feel proud of his aggregation of players.
