“These agreeable and fashionable concerts are always a success, being quite the vogue among those residing on the West side of town. Last night, however, the concert was given for the benefit of a Masonic lodge, numbering among its brethren several of the leading members of the gallant Twenty-second. Such being the case it was no surprise to find the spacious and brilliantly lighted drill-room well filled with an assemblage of beauty and fashion, while the cozy little company rooms were thronged by the friends and members of the respective companies. Notwithstanding the wretched state of the streets and the murky atmosphere in which they were shrouded, the display of toilets was very fine, several ladies appearing in full evening dress.

    The music furnished by the regimental band was admirable, as is usual with Dodworth's. [program follows]

    The leader of the band, Mr. T. J. Dodworth, is the youngest of the four brothers bearing that name, and by his method and precision in carrying out the score, Mr. Dodworth proves himself a peer with the rest of his talented family.

    During the pauses in the musical programme the visitors were much interested in the feats performed by the Athletes in the gymnasium attached to the armory.”
