The Montpelier Cornet Band, under the
leadership Of Mr.. Fales, furnished the music
for the occasion, and during the fair, and as
we have great and abiding horror for all
brass bands in the rough and for that
" discord" which somebody has told us is
" harmony not understood" we approach such
performances with full glow Of appreciation
only when our unanimous convictions have
been oyerpowered with the concord of sweet
sounds" Mr.. Faes, as an artist in this line,
has few superiors His music is arranged
with great care, aud musical ability that
gives the best possible expression to his pieces,
aud leaves no thread.bare strains over which
to bridge an imperfect performer, for he has
none of that sort in his band. Perhaps no
higher compliment could be paid them than
the one bestowed by Senator Morrill,, who,
after their fine and expressive rendering Of
" Sweet Home" at the close Of his address,
remarked to the leader, Mr. Faes, that had
he known they played 70 well, he wou d have
given them au opportunity 10 have played
