Audience Delighted With the Programme by the First Regiment Band at the - Opera House Last night. Wil- THE TAX ORDINANCE. Changes Recommended by Finance Com mittee and Adopted by the Board of Aldermen Monday Night. Reception Will be After Recital by l v mington Musical Association. "There is every assurance that a splendid audience will greet the Wil mington Musical Association at the Opera House Friday night when this splendid aggregation of musical talent will make their second annual appear ance, Tendering Alfred R. Gaul's cele brated master-piece of musical com position "Joan of Arc." ! The hours for the concert and the v ladies' reception at The Orton have been so arranged that there will be no conflict between them. The recital programme will be concluded by 10 o'clock, when the reception to the offi cers of . the Raleigh begins at The Orton. The officers of the Raleigh have been tendered theatre boxes, at the concert, which have been accepted by theEntertainment Committee. And the boxes will positively be occupied during the concert by the Raleigh's officerst The audience is requested to be in their seats by 8.30 o'clock sharp, when the performance will begin. The box-sheet opens Thursday at 7 A. M., at Gerken's. Admission, in cluding reserved seats, will be 50 cents, . It is the general verdict of the audi ence which assembled at the Opera House last night that the concert ren dered by the First Regiment Band, of the N. C. Volunteer Infantry, was equal to Lieut Dan Godfrey's famous British band, and just as enjoyable as Sousa's. ' '- It is much to be regretted that the attendance was not much larger. They deserved a packed house. However, the small audience is attributable to the fact that there were several coun ter attractions, . besides rehearsals, lodge meetings, military drills and important conferences of extensive committees, and hot attributable in the least to any lack ,of interest m and enthusiasm for the boys of the First Regiment Band. The announcement is made with plea sure that the delightful programme" rendered in such a masterly man ner last night will be repeated to-night so that the people will have another opportunity to bear the band and judge for themselves as to the merits of the organization. " The Star would bo glad to publish in full last night's programme vdtb complimentary , reference to each feature, but lack of space prevents. Last night after ; the concert Mr. James Monroe, the clever President of the Second Regiment Band, of this city, royally entertained the visiting musicians in the ice l- cream parlor of Mr. J. W. Phimmer, Jr., on Princess street During the festivities, Chief Musician Chas. Coe declared, in re sponse to a call for a speech,' that no where during their tour of the . State had the band been so royally enter tained as here. He proposed three cheers for Wilmington and they were given heartily as was a similar com pliment to President Monroe. Don't forget that the band will give a second concert to-night. Admission to any part of the., house will be 50 cents. BOARD OF AUDIT AND FINANCE.

The Star is glad to note that Dr. Strange's health is con stantly improving and he has every prospect for a delightful trip. to stand on. and the neeroes took no part in the voting yesterday. But few of the whites who were opposed to the bond issue went to the polls, the Star having fully explained that a vote not cast was equivalent to a vote against the bonds. !1 " The qualified voters last November, when there was a new registration, numbered 5,883 . in the county. Of these some had moved away, but there were new registrations, so that the num ber entitled to vote yesterday did not probably vary much from that of last November. Taking this as the basis, it would have been necessary for the advocates of the bond issue to poll at least 2,900 votes yesterday to carry the .election.
