FINDLAY ABROAD.
The Northwestern Band Concert at
KentOn, Ohio.
What the Press Says Of It.

The concert recently given at Kenton
by the Northwestern Band and amateur
vocalists of this city elected the follow
ing complimentary notices from the
press of that city. The Democrat says:
On Friday evening last, Opera Hall in
this city, was reasonably we'll filled on
the occasion of the vocal and instrument
tai concert given by the Northwestern
Band and amateur singers of Findlay,
Ohio, aud all present were highly pleased
and splendidly entertained. The pro-
graInme was rather lengthy, but was an
excellent one, and all remained to the
conclusion, which of itself speaks well
for the manner the singing and playing
was received. as it was after IL o'clock
when the Band closed the affair with a
Grand March, beautifully executed.
Aside from the Band, the following ladies
and gentlemen composed the company:
Mrs. w. f. SNYDER, Miss GRACE DID
-SvAx-- Ss-ELL-A- CHURCH, Miss JENNIE
TCTTEN, Miss HATTIE WALKER, Miss
MAY SwIGART and Mr.. MACK WILSON.
We would like TO refer particularly to
each individual, but all done so well
that comparison would be invidious, and
We shall not make them, but must be
permitted to remark that the cornet
duett, ''Gently Signs the Breeze" by
Messrs. JAY MARKLE and w. L. SCoUToN
was executed in mastery manner and
was very fine. Altogether the concert
was n success, and we congratulate our
neighbors of Findlay OH the possession
OF so much excellent musical talent.
Should they visit us again, we assure
them a crowded house of our best
ciTizens.
The Band have our thanks for the
midnight serenade given us, and We
intend to return the compliment when
we go to Findlay some of these days
and have our horn along.
OF the concert, the Republican has
the following to say:
The concert given a Opera Hall, on
last Friday evening, by the amatuers
and Northwestern Band, of Findlay,
was only moderately attended, owing to
the very inclement character of the
weather, and an indistinct knowledge of
the character of the entertainment, on
account OF there having been no pro-
grammes printed here for circulation
prior to the concert. But those who
were present enjoyed the entertainment
very much. 1t was rich musical treat,
all tine way through, and the only OBJ
lection that could be offered, was sim
ply that the programme was little
too long" The Northwestern Band, for
II new organization, led by such a young
man, and made up of such new players,
cannot, we believe, be excelled in Ohio.
The vocalists, that accompanied them,
each and all, did splendidly, and we
have seldom heard so many good voices
combined in one entertainment. The
impersonated characters were most
faithfully represented, and everything
moved off harmoniously and satisfac
torily to the end. General regret was
expressed that the Band did not receive
the financial encouragement that they
deserved, but the unfortunate time
selected will have to bear the disap-
pointment in that direction. We hope
they may have an opportunity at some
future time to pay our city another visit
and meet with better recompense for
their labor.
