Patriotic airs brought the people to their feet with cheers and every hat was removed and all were silent during the playing of The Star Spangled Banner.  Many went to the platform after the concert and complimented Mr. Cox on the playing of the band.
Dallas Spirit, a march composed by W. T. Cox, was liberally applauded.  It has a military swing that caught the favor of the listeners and they gave it a hearty encore.  It has an individual tune and rhythm that is distinctive.—
