‘SOUSA! THE GREAT MARCH 
KING 
At Mechanic’s Hall on Hunting- 
ton avenue, Boston, Sunday evening 
at 8 p. m. sharp, John Phillips Sousa, 
the world famed composer of band 
music, and dean of American band 
masters will tap his stand and raise 
his baton to lead 400 of the best and 
most beloved musicians of Boston. 
The event will mark and commemo- 
rate the eleventh annual benefit 
concert of the Musicians’ Mutual 
Relief society of Boston, incorpor- 
ated. The organization has a mem- 
bership of about 1600 of the most 
skilled musicians in the world. They 
have a new three hundred thousand 
dollar temple and club house at the 
corner of Garrison and St. Botolph 
streets, in which there is a conven- 
tion hall adapted for concerts and 
other routine affairs, but their an- 
nual mutual relief concerts have al- 
ways required the capacity of the 
largest auditorium in Boston, name- 
ly our cherished Mechanic’s hall, 
which has ample seating accom- 
modations for 7000. At the ninth 
annual concert two years ago, on 
which occasion band master Fred N. 
Innes of New York and Chicago di- 
rected the organization, there were 
over 7100 tickets sold. 
It is not absolutely necessary, but 
more of a pleasure to state that 
Sousa is an American and the high- 
est priced band master in the world, 
and it intensifies this pleasure to 
realize that he was born at our na- 
tional capital, where in his bovhood 
days he secured a trial engagement 
with the Marine Band, playing in 
the usual presidential concerts, fol- 
lowing which in the same famous 
organization he became a_ soloist: 
then he rose to assistant director, 
and finally to exalted master and 
full ceremonial director of all mu- 
sical functions given at the White 
House and at the Capitol during the 
administrations of four presidents, 
one of whom, Grover Cleveland, was 
said to be the best musical critic in 
our long list of music loving presi- 
dents. 
Sousa has climbed nearly to the 
top of the unsteady, hazardous lad- 
der to musical eminence, and on the 
evening of Feb. 14th, at eight 
o'clock sharp, he will have the top- 
most rung in his true and trusty 
grasp. Sousa has spent almost a 
lifetime in this lofty climb to fame 
and when with 400 especially select- 
ed artists, loyally and lovingly re- 
sponding to the signals of his in- 
spiring leadership, there will be 
consumating, a musical event well
