The Two Trombones. -The story of the two trombones is a good one. One night a trombone player wished to be absent from the orchestra; and, as there was another trombone, instead of asking leave of the conductor, lie resorted to the expedient of netting a f * lend to go in and take his se-it. “Watch the other trombone/ 1 said he to Ins friend; "puff out your checks well, keep your fingers active, look alive, and you will pass muster.” A II went well until a passage for two trombones was reached. Not a sound from the instruments ! It turned out that both trombone-players had resorted to the same ruse.
