     The Norfolk and Ocean View Railroad Company is certainly trying to please the patrons of their resort Ocean View, when they go to the expense of engaging the latest European musical novelty the famous Schilzonyi's Hungarian Boys Military Band of forty youthful musical prodigies, ranging in age from six to sixteen years.

     The midgets for they are veritable midgets of the Hungarian Boys' Military Band arrived at that place yesterday morning under the charge of Mr. Bray their manager; Mrs. Bray, Mr. Schilzonyi their bandmaster, and Mrs. Schilzonyi and created an immediate sensation. They will rest until afternoon, when they play for the first time at a Sunday matinee to be given at 3:30 o'clock.
