THE FINAL CONCERT. A Musical Buccisi aud a Financial Failure. The mntluce yesterday afternoon concert last night completed tlio Philharmonic season. We do not know tbat we are under obligation to mince matters. In nearly every detail the musical features of the series of concerts were artistic and thorough.

Musicians from nearly all parts of Southern California participated iv the exercises. They wero drawn here by a genuine devotion to a beautiful art, and they comprised an amount of musical skill and culture remarkable under the circumstances. Our own very large local uiusicul constituency adopted the idea of a series of general concerts with enthusiasm. The Horticultural Pavilion has the area of a large cathedral and admirable acoustio characteristics. Our poople should have warmed up to the enterprise en masse and tliey simply failed to do so.

This is the truth of the matter arrayed in the Geurgiu costume of a shirt collar and a pair of spurs. (We hate to use that indelicate phrase, the naked truth.) The matinee was not extravagantly attended yesterday afternoon, nor was Ihe attendance iv the evening, although much larger, what it should have been. The loiiowiug programme was rendered lust ni with some transposition in its order, but iv lull. pakt I. 1.

If wo bad the space, there are many features of this charming series of concerts which we would liko to dwell upon. Wo trust tbat the next time our Philharmonic friends exert themselves to ploase tho public the latter will be in a more responsive mood than during tli3 present season. Session. Council met at 3 P.

A Eemarkabls Railway Track With Baad-Tbe- Train Deayed Fifteen Honra.

Day before yesterday aftoruoou the out-going Yuma tralu left Los Augeles on time. Everything went ou as usual ttnlil it approached Cucatnouga Station. At this point a sand storm of extraordinary violouce was encountered. The train was soon obliged to stop. Superintendent Hewitt was at once communicated with hy telegraph and men were dispatched from all quarters to clear the truck, but utterly without avail.

The train was delayed solus fifteen hours. When we state that the rails for a distance of three or four miles were covered with sand to depths ranging from one to ihrte feet the forco of tho wind may be conjectured. The simoom, or sirocuo, or whatever it may to called, cuius whistling through the in Puss as though it were discharged from a funnel. The incisming Yuma train was delayed for an hour and a hall through the storm. Some seven yoars ago a whirlwind poured out of the C'ajon Pasi which took sub stantlally the same course as the wind day before yesterday.

The line of plain traversed by it was about three miles wide, but it fortunately stopped right at the edge of the celebrated Cucamoiiga vineyard. For much of this width the soil was shaved off as with a knife, being carried resistlessly over the Cacamonga plains. Sand was pileil to a height of several feet over the roof of the station of the old stage company, making a total sand drift of over twenty feet lilgb. Tbe storm of the other day must have been twin brother of that. COURT REPORTS.
