ATTRACTS MANY

More Than 8,000 Hear Pullman Band Thursday and Watch Various Dances. Fully S.000 people surrounded the reviewing stand at the court house yesterday afiernoon following the industrial parade, to hear the last concert of the Pullman band under the direction of J. F. Hostrawser. A choice program was rendered by the band and the vast crowd evidently appreciated the music for time after time they applauded vigorously. This was especially so at the conclusion of the last selection which was a collection of national aire. The concert wa.s opened by the military march, "Rlue and the Cray," which was followed by selections from "Thanhouser." A semi-popular selection, "Ry the Suwanee River." wa.s well received by the listeners. The piece, "Somewhere a Voice Is Calling," also won the approval of the crowd. Other selections on the program wer?: "Loin de Rail," "Sextette from Eueia," "s'ons from Scotland," and "How Can I Leave Thee." A collection of national songs closed the program, and proved decidedly appropriate. At the end of the concert six folk dances were presented by a group of school students. The dancers wer all clad in the dress oX the country that they represented, and every dance was well executed. The sword dance that was so popular Wednesday afternoon, was repeated in yesterday's program and again proved interesting. Another feature was the dance in which twelve little colored children participated. An Irish dance also received much applause from the audience. Other dances that were given were a Scotch dance and two different Dutch dances. The dances were under the direction of Miss Marian Goodman of the high school.
