THE BLACK BAND.

We were considerably taken aback, one night
this week, by sudden gush Of spirit stirring
sounds, coming upon us in style so out Of the
order of music in this latitude as to confound us
into the belief that ''RobinSon and Eldrcd's"
wagon had been run off the track and was pouring
out along our lonely streets rich flood Of its pre-
ciOus freight. 1t was capital good muSic--had
something Of the genuine, az .,at style about it
none Of the long. drawu-out tOuchcS--real "Cir-
Gus" stuff; and what surprised us, turned out to
be the first performance, in the way of Serenade,
of the '.Yorkvile Black Band" q collection Of
brass blowing sable mclodists who, be it known
are beginning to claim rank as IN "institution"
amongst us.
The ''boys" have been but a short while in
practice, but, under the skiful tution Of Profess
sor WEISS, they have certainly made a marvellous
progreSs-enough to prove themselves capable Of
afFording us an excellent quality of that much
needed commodity, good music. Though the
players are humble, they can make themselves
very useful on many occasions: and, as their dill
igcnce deserves q good reward, we must bespcak
for them generous helping hand. Give them
encouragement.
