TRAMWAYS MILITARY BAND.
\ His • Majesty's Theatre held another large and enthusiastic audience last night, when the second recital by the Wellington Municipal Tramways Band was given. Mr. G. W. Bowes conducted, in his usual efficient style, and secured some noticeably good tonal effects. The band is specialising in new music, and consequently the programmes are also .. of an introductory nature. The march
"Entry of the Boyards" opened an exceptionally well-selected list of entertaining musical nmnbers, and was followed by a descriptive fantasia by William Moore "A Highland Scene," which had an instant appeal. The famous
"William Tell" overture by Rossini, with its massive chords and dashing style, was rendered vith fine appreciation, and was followed by a delicate contrast in "Whirl of the Waltz" by Lincke.. 'E. Humperdinck's "The Miracle" was represented by the procession arid children's dance. The instrumental solo by Bandsman W. J. Hainies was one of the successes of the evening. It is the band's intention to frequently include solo work on the programmes, and judging by the success of Mr. Haimes's bassoon solo last night, the idea is a popular one. For his rendering of "Lucy Long" he was insistently recalled. Mrs. Woodward, soprano, was in fine voice, an<( hflv sinking of "Invitation Song" was encored. The entertainment, was voted one of the most enjoyable of the band's jmuy jiiiblic ftppeanficju,:
