D. SttUftuul 'V I •.i8cored SuccMt* :n S The verdict of all musical people wfio formed part of the large audience which gathered at the operahouse yesterday to hear the North Dakota State Band in its first Sunday afternoon concert of the season was that the concert merited only the highest praise and that Director Zimmerman and his men presented a programme and executed it in a manner which would have done credit to organ izations which place themselves in high ranks. Mrs. Shattuck says that she had never enjoyed a similar concert in Fargo more than she did the one yesterday after rtoon. Mr. and Mrs. E. Y. Sarles of'Hills wro, Mrs. Bruce Crusoe and Julius, Schmidt all expressed thmselves in a similar strait^ and added, "the band is splendid." The strongest number on the pro gramme was the fantasia ''Hungarian," a descriptive composition by Tobani. Dur ing its execution the audience sat al most breathless, but as the finale faded away the house broke out into deafening applause. A. L. Intelhouse -pi Hillsboro played a difficult cornet solo 'which was well received and Jhe gracefully responded to an encore. Suppe's "Morning, Noon and Night was splendidly executed, the time, attack and,expression being excellent, not only in this number, but in every one on the programme. The unfurling of a gigantic flag dur ing the playing of "Star Spangled Ban-, ner," caught the house and it was some minutes before it ceased. It was gratifying to notice that the aduience re mained quietly standing during the execution of the patriotic number. The next concert will.be given Sunday, Dec. 27, and if the weather is agreeable the operahouse will be taxed. .•« •».. WHAT OTHERS SAY. S. J. Hill, Adjutant: Annual election of officers of John F.

Richard III. owned White Surrey, and it was for that splendid animal that he cried when he shouted, "My king dom for a horse!" William III.*s fa vorite horse, Sorrel, had one eye.
