FIrst Public Concerts. Public concerts owe their direct on uragement to John Banister, who had on fame by his playing on the violin, id who succeeded the celebrated Balt r as leader of Charles 11's band of 24 olins. Pepys, in an entry in his dairy r February, 1667, tells us the court gos p of the day-"how the king's viallin mister is mad that the king hath a cenclman come to be chief of some trt of the king's musi(ue." It was rumored that lie was dismissed om tho royal service for saying English olins were better than tho French, a atoinent which was no doitbt regarded heretical, opposed as it was to the prc Liling court view as to the superiority Franco inl all questions of tasto, and pecially with regard to imusic. Banister's concerts at thu close of the ,ar 1672 were advertised in the London azetto as follows: "These are to givo )tico that at Mr. John Banister's houso ow called tho Musick School), over ,ainst the Georgo Tavern in Whito Fry S, the present Monday will bo inusick rformned by excellent masters, begin ng precisely at 4 of tho clock in thu ternoon, and every afternoon for the iture precisely at the sanio hour." Four years later on wo read again: At tho Academy inl Littl i Lincoln's hn ields will begii thoe first part of the arley of Istrinnents, composed by Mr. An Banister."

Aons plainly indicate tho inire Hate abolishing of these offces, md placo the duties upon Town. ihip Boards of Commissioners md County Board of Commission >rs. Th inconsistonecy of this is that the first section of the law provides that a C:mInty Supervisor shall be elocted at the regular election in Novombor and that'.ho shall be'gin his duties on tho 1st of January, 1895. This'is kpecifically fixed in tho bill. As'the matter stands, the bill abolishes Township Boards of Equalization, and does not pro video for any organization to do lio work of those Boards. If Governor Tillman were to -ake the view that it was the inten ion of tho bill for the immediate tppointmont of Township and Donity Boards of Commissioners, these Boards could not .' do'any Lying .ecause the County Supervi sor is to ho the chairman of the County lioard and ho cannot be appointed as tho others but must ho vlocted ait tho"Novomber elec tion.''his knockq up any project for tho i mmedi ato apointiont of those Boards.
