OME of the statements that have appeared
in t h e newspapers concerning the health
of New York's favorite bandmaster, Mr. C. A.
Cappa, would lead people to suppose that he was
dangerously ill. The fact is, Mr. Cappa is up
and about, but by the advice of his physician is
resting for a while from his labors as director of
the famous Seventh Regiment Band. During
his trip with the band last fall, to Tacoma and
the northwest, the director's labors were very
arduous, and in the course of t h e Columbian
festivities, which immediately followed the re-
turn of the organization to this city, t h e band
had to play many times. The result was that a
slight affection of the throat with which Mr.
Cappa was troubled became aggravated, and it
was deemed best that he should take a rest.
The band is, however, filling all its engage-
ments, and it will not be long before its distin-
guished leader will be found in his accustomed
place wielding the baton as effectively as ever.

indeed, that two editors agree. Of our four
music trade contemporaries, one could claim to
bring out a paper espousing an alleged anti-
