Organized at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, In 1867 Has Seen Service In Every Part of the World Composed of Negroes and Filipinos. Perhaps nil of the people who wero fortunato enough to hear the band from tho fort as it played on tho streets during tho day of tho Fourth, wero not aware of the fact that they wero listening to music made by one of the oldest bands in the regular ar my, and tho second oldest colored band in the service. Tho band is as old as tho army It self and there are musical associa tions In tho different branches ot tho United States military ana naval de partments, which can trace their be ginning back to the days of tho na tion's infancy, but tho tracing soon re solves Itself Into tradition and loses much of fnct when it passes much beyond the time of the civil war. Tho band of today, tho bands that wo hear at tho various stations of the army aro all, or at least most of them, tho children of tho reorganization of the army after tho late war had been ended and peace had been declared. And sinco this is so, tho band of tho Ninth cavalry Is one of tho oldest bands or tho united service, and tho second oldest colored organization in the army. Tho band of tho Twenty-fourth In fantry Is the oldest colored musical organization In tho service, having been organized at Baton Rouge, Lou isiana, in 1865. The Ninth cavalry band, tho one that played on tho streets of Pendleton on the Fourth, was organized in tho same place on July 24, 1807. Since that time It has been In almost all of uio posts of the union and has seen service In Cuba and In the Philippines. From Baton Rouge, where it was recruited, the band was sent to Fort Brownsville, Texas, and from thero was sent to Fort Beard, In Mexico. After spending a long time in that place It was sent to Santa Fe, and from thero to Fort Riley, Kansas, where thoy stayed two years. Fort McKinney was their next place of abode and from there they went to Fort Robinson, Neb., whore thoy were located at the time of the declaration of war against Spain. They wero sent with tho regular troops to Cuba and were in tho thick of tho fight throughout the campaign there, where thoy did good servlco and won many laurels. After tho band was returned from the front It was sent to Fort Grant, Arizona, where It stayed for two years when It was again ordered to the front and shipped for tho islands. For two years the colored boys saw all of the hardships and tho toll of service In the field and then they wero once more ordered to the Unit ed States, where thoy were assigned to Fort Walla Walla, their present station. Chief Trumpeter John Wilson is the oldest member of tho organiza tion, having seen continuous service since his enlistment in 187U. There aro others who have served long terms with tho band, Carl S. dunigal, the chief musician, having been tho leauer since issu. In the ranks today are several Fill plnos who have joined the band since tho Spanish war, and thoy are good musicians and good members of the band. It was not a chance gathering that was here, but It was tho perfec tion of years of toil and discipline. which has evolved one of tho best bands of tho nation In any of her branches of service, and one of the old organizations of tho country. The members of tho band are: C. S. Gun! gal, J. W. Wilson, J. T. Thompson, M. Woodard, T. Pleasants, J. H, Wil lis, II. Henderson, C. Condol, Ixjw I'atton, ai. Green, T. Brinson, T.
