There were besides many curious bands of Oriental musicians some of them making great but futile efforts to play our national airs producing sounds that were by no means delightsome to the American ear; not half so pleasing as the sight of the multi-colored flags decorating the huts and castles of foreign architecture. It turned out to be a day of pleasant surprises.
