GILMORE, Patrick Sarsfield, bandmaster,
was born in Ballygar, Ireland, Dec. 25, 1829. At
an early age he was apprenticed to a merchant in
Athlone and there became a member of the brass
band. About 1848 he accompanied a military
band to Canada and subsequently found employ-
ment in Boston, _
Mass., as manager of
the band instrument
department of a mu-
sic firm. While con-
nected with this
house he organized a
minstrel company for
the purpose of adver-
tising their publica-
tions. He afterward
became the leader
of the Suffolk, of
the Boston brigade,
and of the Salem
bands. During his
four years' con-
nection with the last named he gave a series of
concerts in Boston music hall, as a result of
which the military band became a recognized
factor of indoor concerts. In 1858 he organized
in Bo.ston, Mass., " Gilmore's Band," which he
conducted for the remainder of his life, and with
which he gave thousands of concerts. In 1861 he
accompanied the 24th Massachusetts volunteers
to the front and was with General Buruside's
command in the Carolinas till the war depart-
ment saw fit to economize by dispensing with
the regimental bands. He then returned to
Boston, Mass. ; but when this economical policy
was found to be a mistake, he was commissioned
by Governor Andrew of Jlassachusetts to reor-
ganize the state military bands and again accom-
panied his band to the front. Upon his arrival
in New Orleans, La., in 1863, General Banks
appointed him bandmaster-general of the regi-
mental bands in the dejiartment of Louisiana.
After the war he returned to Boston, Mass. , and
spent two years preparing for the Peace Jubilee
Festival held in that city in 1869. The idea was
original with Mr. Gilmore and proved .so success-
ful that after the signing of the treaty of Wash-
ington he began planning for a World's Peace
Jubilee, which was held in Boston in 1872. At
the close of the latter festival the citizens pre-
sented him with two gold medals and the sum of
S.50.000. in appreciation of his work. In 1873 he
accepted the position of bandmaster to the 22d
regiment of the national guard of New York and
removed to that city where he reorganized his
band, making it "Gilmore's one hundred," con-
verted Madison square garden into " Gilmore's
earden," and there gave 600 concerts. In 187&
