- During the summer months, on Thursday
evenings, we have had the gratification of listening to
•me first-clam music by Mr- Eycri band, which well
sustains its redutatinn as the first provincial band in
the country. Last Thurolay evening the perfoituance
was in front of the Town hall, end on no occasion have
we heard it with greater pleasure. The time has now
arrived for the promenade concerts, which during last
winter afforded many an agreeable evening to the young
people of the town, and we trust, that as heretofore,
the subscriptions will be no liberal as to induce Mr
Myers to carry out his entertainments with good
spirit.
