THE CONCERT ny Halls BAND,-un
Wednesday evening, April 18th. at
the Town Hall, the people of Rutland
should recollect, is to be given a choice
musical entertainment combining IL
strumental and vocal music by Halls
celebrated band Of Boston. Their recent
visit to Brandon and their appearance
during the session OF the Musical Con
venton at Castleton, drew together large
and delighted audiences. They are very
justly distinguished in their profession
they having succeeded in bringing far
more nearly to perfection the use Of this
class of musical instruments, and give
equal satisfaction to their hearers as do
the vocal entertainments of Others. which
can be said Of none other in this coun-
try. The rendering Of solos by Messrs.
D. c. and R. Hall upon the Golden
Bugle and Golden Cornet are admirable.
We trust our citizens will give these
worthy artists a full house and we Ak
sure them a rich treat in return.
