i iect is intensely interesting, and the mind, acted upon alike by the music and the pictures, is almost overwhelmed bv the reality, the beauty and the solem nity *of the scenes thus depicted' by tone and brush. Altho the "Besurrection" i un doubtedly of the greatest importance as a portion of the Banda Kossa festi val, which commences at the Audito rium next Monday evening, it should be borne in mind7 ?^4di{ that the band is a superb organization, complete in every detail, and in better trim than it has ev%r been before. Its men are com pletely drilled and in fine fettle. Its repertory is very extensive and em braces many things not played by other bands. Some of the most noteworthy of these are the grand selections from the different. operas. Sorrentino, its leader ever since the organization of the band, has arranged ail of these, and as he is a master of orchestration, he has secured just the effects he has desired, and such as are most needed. In no other band can such arrange ments be heard as with the Banda Ros sa, and the famous "Lucia" sextet, the quartet from Rigojetto'' and the duet from Trovatore,'' all of which will be played during the festival, have never been given such readings as the Banda Rossa gives them. Assisting during the festival, and taking the solo parts of the oratorio, are four distinguished grand-opera singers. Signora Gina Ciaparelli, so prano, is a new aspirant for fame in America. While she has never before been heard in America, she is account ed in her own sunny Italy one of the most beautiful singers in Europe, and one who will soon be the peer of the best singers in the world. Her voice is a dramatic soprano, of exquisite col or, flexible, rich and sweet. Personally she is both charming and beautiful. She will sing the role of Mary Magda len in the oratorio. Miss Bessie Bonsall, contralto, has made a name for herself as a singer, both in concert and light opera. Hei voice is of the rich cello-like quality so much admired, and she sings with fine taste and artistic discretion. Miss Bonsall's roles in the oratorio are those of Mary and the first angel. Albert Quesnel, the tenor, whose lyric voice is well known in the twin cities, takes the role of the narrator. Mr. Quesnel's voice has improvSd grqatly and his art broadened since his residence and study in New York and abroad. Another new member of the forces with the Banda Rossa is Salvatore Nun ziato, the barytone. This is his first entree into concert work since he came One of the most sensational open-air attraction's yet seen at Wonderland is the high dive by Lmd. There was a higher dive made at the park this sea son, that by Strahl, who went from the summit of the electric tower into a net, a distance of 120 feet. Lind, however, dives into water from the oMia A High Dive at Wonderland C. K. COSCTROVE President. from the studios of Milan and Paris. He is a young man, but has a voice that has created a great sensation wherever it has been heard. It is a round, full, vibrant voice of great volume ana splendid timbre, and is sure to bring its fortunate possessor to the forefron|i of the musical world, like that of his com patriot,* Campanari. The band like wise possesses many instrumentalists of note, any one of whom is qualified for the best solo work. That there may be no doubt about the band reaching Minneapolis after its closing Sunday evening concert at Kan sas City, the management has char tered a special train which will bring the band, the soloists and the differ ent men having charge of the scenery and the electric lighting devices, right thru to Minneapolis without change. This will insure plenty of time for dinner and to prepare for the evening concert, which will commence promptly at 8:15 o'clock Monday evening. No bandmaster has won higher praise from the public and critics alike for the excellence of his programs than has Sorrentino, and the programs prepared for the week of the Banda Rossa fes tival will be a source of congratula tion to all. While he always plays good music, Sorrentino recognizes the desire on the part of a large portion of the public to hear music of a more popular character, and the programs have been so arranged as to appeal to all, and yet contain many of the finest things in music. To enable visitors to the city to hear the great organ in the Auditorium, the fourth in size in the United States, ar rangements have been made to have it played at each concert during the in termission. Here it will be peculiarly appropriate as introductory to the ora torio which appears as the second part of each program during the week. It will be played by A. M. Shuey, who in stalled the organ, and fully understands all of its capacities. Tickets at popular prices are on sale at the store of the Metropolitan Music company. The programs for Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon, which com mence at 8:15 and at 3 o'clock, re spectively, are as follows: MONDAY EVENING. Part 1.

A Gilded Pool," the comedjr first made famous by Nat C. Goodwin' and Maxine Elliott, will be revived by Dick Ferris tonight at the Lyceum theater under circumstances which make its presentation a most unusuaL theatrical event. The occasion will be a testimonial, tendered to Mr. Ferris by the citizens of Minneapolis in appreciation of his public-spirited citizenship during his three years' residence here as manager of a stock company, which terminates tomorrow evening. A committee of citizens, consisting of W. J. Murphy, Charles A. Tuller, M. Breslauer, C. H. Miner and E. W. Murphy, with Ealph W. Wheelock as chairman, recently sent a letter to all the leading business men of the city, asking them to subscribe for boxes, loges and seats to express to Mr. Ferris the friendliness with which he is re garded by his fellow citizens, and their regret at his departure and the removal of his stock company, which had be come one of the commercial and amuse ment institutions of the city. The response was instant and liberal, and there will assemble at the Lyceum tonight an audience thoroly representa tive of the citizenship of the metrop olis of the northwest. Mayor Jones will occupy a box and is expected to make a brief address, and the occasion will be made memorable. The seats not taken by subscription are being rapidly sold at the box office, the theatergoing public having, by their large demand, expressed their desire to be present upon so interesting an oc casion. Mr. Ferris will be seen in the role of Ohauncey Short, in which he has achieved 'repeated and flattering suc cess. The cast will be a strong one, and the scenic settings elaborate. The Ferris engagement closes tomor row with two performances of A Gilded Fool," at no advance in prices. AMUSEMENTS DEWEY THEATER. All Weak Commencing Matinee Tomorrow.
