the finest combination of solo talent in
America, assisted by Miss May A. Bryant,

reputation second to none The press in

The Mddlebury Register says; The much
talked of celebration of the ''beach-seal' at
Lake Dunmore was great disappointment
to some visitors. A large crowd assem-
bled, but there was no Ben Butler, no mil
itary or civic procession, no lager and but

great, good-natured crowd looked each

lake, and drank like fishes. The Middle
bury cornct band were out with their new

evening were quite limited but excellent.
