We are happy to learn that the Co.
lumhia Brass Band are getting along
m~ch better than was expected, from
the fact that many of their prominent
members, accompanied by their leader,
Mr. Bullock, left lately for their homes
10 the Eastern states. They have re-
organized again and elected Mr. T. F.
Dyer as their leader. This band is an
honor to Columbia, and in fact to
luolunne county. 1t is gratifying 10
know that here, among the mountains
of California, We have musical talent
sufficient to compete with any in the
Bay city, or even in most of the eastern
States. We hope the band may 90 on
and prosper, and be amply rewarded for
the energy and perseverance displayed
by them in keeping up such an organ
ization in our midst.
