C,, with stamps, he was met by an armed body of men, and was informed that they would resist the landing of the stamps, and would fire on any one attempting it. He did not attempt it.

WILL THE FAMOUS BRITISH BAND PLAY HERE? i Tuesday and Wednesday of This Week Will Decide the Matter Sabscrip tion Lists at Qerken's. It seems dqw that, the engagement of the British . Guards' Band, Eng land's greatest military band, which commences a tour of the United States to-morrow, to giv5 grand concert at 4-1 ttz i : i r - tt i . wySZT JrZ s on loth mst., now not positively assured. It is true that Manager Schloss, of the Opera House, has contracted with the band for the engagement and has made them a heavy guarantee, but a clause in the contract allows cancella tion by either party f if one week's notice is given. The guarantee is the largest ever made by a Wilmington Opera House manager, and Mr. Schloss has decided that it is not safe for him to risk this guarantee unless he peo-r pie of Wilmington will give him some- assarance of a liberal patronage. Mr. Schloss has therefore decided that during two days this week, Tues day and Wednesday,' a list will be at Gerkin'l,to receive the names, with number ofjseats desired, of those who will positively purchase tickets. If the subscription becomes large enough lovers of high class music will posi- ively have the opportunity of hearing this celebrated musical -organization. The price will be $1. 50 and $1. This tour of the band will be the second in America. When they were here before s-well known critic in the New York Weekly Musical Age said: "There was no question of the band's success; certainly such music has not been heard here for many years. The individual players were more proficient than the individual artists of even Sousa's organization. In unity of ac tion and in instantaneous response to the baton of the leader the band sur passed any military musical organiza tion we have even heard, and in this we speak with authority, as we have listened to ninety different bands in Her Majesty's service, and can not re call any that was superior or that was equal to Lieut. Godfrey's band." ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The Benevolent Society gratefully acknowledges gifts to the Home from the following friends: i Mrs. Bridgers, Mrs. W. H. Yopp, Mrs. H. F.
