more enjoyable and grand affair than our
brief allusion to it last week would seem to
indicate. Some over thirty drums and flies
were in the procession, headed by Capt.
Daniel Smith of Washington, and with the
veteran and accomplished player l.. A. Ord
way as leader of the band The streets OF
Chelsea were filed with an admiring crowd
of some 500 persons, and the citizens were
much delighted with the spirit-stirring music.
A free dinner of the incest kind was given
the band at Whitney's hotel, and everything
passed off merrily as a marriage bell. The
leader of the band is thankful for the cour-
tesies shown him, and the citizens are CRATE
full for the music given them-and both
mutually hope to meet again on similar
occasion.
