THE SEVENTH REGIMENT'S BANDMASTER RE-
CEIVED A GOLD MEDAL—HE AND HIS BAND
CORDIALLY APPRECIATED—HE TELLS
ABOUT THE LIVE NORTH-WESTERN
CITY.
.tWN an interview with the Seventh Regiment's
^
bandmaster, C. A. Cappa, soon after his
return from Tacoma, he expressed himself as
much pleased with his sojourn in that enterpris-
ing northwestern city. He found the people
uncommonly hospitable, and they highly appre-
ciated good music. During the Exposition his
band played a great deal of classical music of a
superior order of merit, which met with an
amount of approval that showed the high es-
teem in which compositions of that grade are
held in Tacoma. Mr. Cappa and his band were
treated with the greatest kindness during their
stay in that city, and on the evening preceding
their departure he was presented, " on behalf of
the music lovers of Tacoma,'' with a beautiful
gold medal. The presentation speech was made
by Judge Calkins, and was eloquently expressive
of the cordial esteem in which the great band-
master is held by the donors, and by the music
loving public of the thriving city on Puget Sound.
Mr. Cappa made an appropriate reply, and the
occasion is one that will long be remembered
by all who participated in it.
Mr. Cappa was very much impressed by Ta-
coma, its people, its climate, its productions,
and its natural advantages of geographical
position. He described it as being picturesque-
ly situated on Commencement Bay, at the head
of navigation on Puget Sound. It is the West-
ern terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and has one of the best harbors in the world. In
1889 the railroad voted $6,000,000, to be expend-
ed in Tacoma in three years in terminal im-
provements. The city has 20 hotels, 8 public
school buildings, a seminary, a college and a
university, 30 churches, 16 banks, 4 daily news- tober 1, 1892." On the back is engraved:
