forth my lstter-it distinctly states that the
reasons why we can't have any more concerts is

military service is well known to US all, and no
one but the Advertiser would insult that gentle
man by such preposterous suppositiou. as

of the management of the Band-(and this

referred to, during the leadership of Messrs North

department have before spoken, never threw any
obstacles in the way OF those conductors in their
long continued aud unreq uied efforts TO contribute
to the enjoyment of the community. Nor do l or
any one else believe that he does or would do SO

niggardy conduct of the Band and its leader fur

he would prefer should be done Voluatorily. If the
dollars down, so will the Band says Idvertser

The Band cannot play "exeept by voltlon OF the
head of the military SERVICE" says the Advertiser Of

taby inconsistent and 'meTddcious" paper is cor
