Everything la now ready for the con
cert which the Portland Symphony Or
chestra. John Bayley. conductor, will
give this afternoon at 3:4s o'clock at
the Heillg Theater. There have been
several rehearsals, at which unusually
good work has been done.
The officers of the symphony orcnes-
tra say that few people know the
tory of worry and anxiety which have
beset them during the past two weeks
and the Interesting tale of "get there
and enterprise upon the part of the
local musicians which culminated In a
gratifying outcome of the whole at
fair. The Instrumentation of the or
rhestra calls for two oboes and two
bassoons and there were available but
one of each In Portland. For each of
the former concerts the orchestra of
ficers were obliged to send to Seattle
for two men to complete the wood
wind section. Although this has en
tailed considerable expense, the Musi
cians here would be satisfied with no
makeshift substitution of other In
struments, such aa has been done In
former years. The two Seattle men
were engaged for today's concert, but
about ten days ago they wrote that
they would be unable to accept because
of the opening of a musical show at
the theater where they were employed,
which necessitated their presence there.
The officers of the Portland Sym
phony Orchestra, Immediately "got
busy" with the long-distance tele
phone and telegraph and after com
municating with the manager of the
theater In Seattle and the - manage
ment of the musical show due to ap
pear there, permission waa finally re-
cured for the two men to go to this
city for the symphony concert.
The programme for this afternoon s
concert Is a delightful one and is aure
to prove a rare treat for music-lovers.
Mosart'a "O Minor Symphony." Saint-
Saens "Dime Macabre" and Schu

City of Qulncy. 111., by Its Mayor and
council requested protection from rebel

were sent from Camp Butler to Qulncy,

The latter sang In a Methodist choir

The Confederates had the English En-

Springfield, but the sharpshooters for
tunately were armed with the Windsor

The latter rifles were effective for the
longest distance known at that time.

The battle of Corinth was hard on
the sharpshooters on account' of their
position aa skirmishers. Price's and
Van Dorn'a legions were moving over
them when General Grant saw from
Fort Roblnet troops firing at a certain
thicket, and he ordered the guns to
change direction. The sharpshooters,

they could fall back to the Union lines
