Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather,
the hard times, and the fact that our citizens
gave large patronage to the concert given by
the Bridgton cornst baud last week, an excel
lent audience greeted ths old Bridgton Band
last evening, under the famous leader, A. O.
B. Corbett The pleasure received from these
band concerts must forcibly remind the mem
bers of the Fryeburg Bandsthat it is matter
of general regret that they have given up
practice, and discontinued their Saturday eve
ming concerts, which gave SO much pleasure to
both citizens and strangers during the sammer
months.) The entertainment last evening had
pleasing variety. In addition to the cornet
solo by Mr.. Corbett, there were songs, duets
and choruses by the members of the band, and
several songs by Miss Ada Belle Kennard,
which were heartily encored. Miss X who
also sang in the concert here last week, made
herself great favorite with the Ffyeburg peo-
Pile. Miss Emma A. Bailey rendered the ac-
compartments in spirited and artistic man
ner. This lady gave German air. upon the
piano, which was received with great applause
and an encore. Miss Annie S. Lttlefeld, a
young daughter Of Fred Littleield, Esq rem
dered piano solo from Trovatore with fine eff
feet, showing even greater skill and promise in
the future. The Fryeburg people feel under
great obligations to their Bridgtoa neighbors
for recent entertainments in dramatic, liter
AIRY and musical point of view. The troupe
were accompanied by Rev. Mr.. Carpenter,
Fred Littlefeld, Esq and other citizens of
Bridgton.
The West Oxford Agricultural Fair opens
