For THE RECORD.
Mr.. EDITOR 1T is apparent that while
our city contains musicians of rank-of whose
ability we may justly boast,--it is fact that
our Brass Band is not in as prosperous q con-
dition as it should be, or as many of our citi-
zens desire to have it. What is the cause of
this, and why should it exist It is certainly
not because there are not enough good play
ers in our city, as we have already said, to
maintain its reputation, for there are in our
midst several of I" Carpenters veterans y.
and others, who hold little or no connection
with the band abundantly able to conduct
.6rst-czass band. Let some one who has reviv
al sentiments in this direction, stir up the
subject, and get the band TO assume more
promising position. Let it be founded upon
true temperance principles, SO that 1t can COM
mand the respect and hearty support Of our
citizens and be ain honor to our town.
